Tonneau Covers Prices for Ellesmere Port Boat Owners

Custom tonneau covers for inland waterway boats start from £329 — no VAT charged. A straightforward day-boat tonneau sits at the lower end of the range; a complex aft-cockpit cover with multiple tie-down points, zips, or integral fender pockets costs a little more. All prices include UK-wide tracked delivery and stainless steel or bungee fixings. We can also repair existing tonneau covers from £89.

For Ellesmere Port boat owners mooring on the Shropshire Union Canal, our no-VAT pricing represents a saving of at least £66 on a starting-price tonneau cover compared to a VAT-registered supplier — and often considerably more on larger or more complex covers.

How Our Postal Service Works for Ellesmere Port

Getting tonneau covers made from Ellesmere Port is straightforward. Box up your existing cover — worn, torn, or faded — and send it by standard parcel to our workshop in Carterton, Oxfordshire. Cheshire-based parcels typically arrive with us within two working days via standard courier services, and we begin work as soon as the cover arrives. We'll confirm receipt by email and give you an estimated dispatch date at that point.

Once your new tonneau cove is complete — usually within six working days of receiving your old one — we dispatch it back to Ellesmere Port by tracked courier. You'll receive a tracking link so you can monitor the return journey. If your boat moves between the Shropshire Union Canal and Manchester Ship Canal, we can also dispatch to a marina or lock address if that's more convenient than a home address. Most Ellesmere Port customers have their finished cover in hand within eight to ten working days of posting.

Marine Fabrics & Materials

We make tonneau covers in heavy-duty marine PVC (best for permanent mooring and winter storage) or marine acrylic (preferred for breathability on live-aboard boats). Both fabrics are UV-resistant and waterproof, with double-sewn seams and anti-wick thread throughout. Fixings are heavy-duty press studs or bungee cord loops chosen to match your boat's existing deck hardware, so no drilling is required.

For Ellesmere Port boats mooring year-round on the Shropshire Union Canal, the choice between PVC and acrylic usually comes down to whether breathability (acrylic) or maximum waterproofing (PVC) is the priority — Ryan is happy to advise based on your specific mooring and how frequently you use the boat.
