Made to Measure Tonneau Covers in Wargrave

Trusted by Wargrave Boat Owners

Most of our Wargrave orders arrive through word of mouth — from boat clubs, marina notice boards, and recommendations passed on between neighbours on the River Thames. We're a small family business run by Ryan and a small team of cover-makers in Carterton, Oxfordshire. Every cover is made by hand in our workshop, checked before dispatch, and sent out only when we're satisfied it meets the same standard we'd expect for our own boat.

Berkshire boaters who've used us regularly say that the combination of no-VAT pricing, accurate copying from the original cover, and consistent turnaround is what keeps them coming back when a cover eventually wears out. We also offer a repair service starting from £89, so if your tonneau cove on the River Thames needs a new window, a zip replacement, or a seam repair rather than a full replacement, post it to us and we'll assess and quote before doing any work. No obligation to proceed if the quote isn't right.

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 Wargrave boats mooring year-round on the River Thames, 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.

How to Order Tonneau Covers from Wargrave

Our postal copy service means Wargrave boat owners don't need to visit our workshop in person. Here is how it works:

1. Step 1 — Post your cover: Post your existing tonneau cover to our Carterton, Oxfordshire workshop — even if it is worn, torn, or faded. We use it as a precise pattern.
2. Step 2 — We make your cover: We cut and sew an exact copy in fresh marine PVC or acrylic, replacing any broken zips or damaged fixings. You can request colour or fabric changes at this stage.
3. Step 3 — Receive your cover: Your finished tonneau cover is dispatched by tracked courier within 6 working days and will arrive ready to fit — no adjustments needed.

Tonneau Covers Prices for Wargrave 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 Wargrave boat owners mooring on the River Thames, 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.
