Complete Awning Service – Extend the life of your boat awning

Our chapel service is comprehensive and includes both minor and major measures. The goal is to maximize the chapel's lifespan through professionally performed work.

Our most common chapel services:

repairing seams and worn panels
replacement of panes (clear plastic, PVC, pressed panes)
replacement of zippers, buttons, eyelets, and fittings
material reinforcements
customized canvas replacement
optimization of fit and stretch

We ensure that your canopy is not only repaired, but improved. A canopy that receives proper service lasts several years longer than one that is left without maintenance.

Chapel repair – Repair chapels instead of buying new ones

Repairing the chapel is usually the most affordable and sustainable solution.
We help you assess exactly what needs to be done – and you never pay for more than is necessary.

When is chapel repair needed?

seams coming apart
windows have cracked or turned yellow
zippers do not function
the wind has worn away the material
the chapel is leaking
the chapel has lost its fit

With the right repair, your canopy can regain both its function and aesthetics – without you having to invest in a completely new canopy.

Sew new covers or alter existing covers – made to measure for all boats

A worn or damaged boat cover does not always need to be replaced – sometimes it is enough to re-sew the cover or update parts to restore both function and appearance. When a cover can no longer be saved, we manufacture a completely new, custom-made cover that is tailored exactly to your boat. Our covers are sewn from marine textiles that can withstand UV light, salt water, rain, and heavy wear, ensuring a long life and a perfect fit in all weather conditions.

If your existing canopy has a good foundation, we can re-sew it and give it new life by replacing windows, reinforcing panels, improving the fit, and modernizing the design. With a professionally executed new production or reupholstering, your boat will get a fresher look and a canopy that will last for many seasons to come. A new or reupholstered canopy is a smart investment that increases both the protection, comfort, and value of the entire boat.

Sew new covers or alter existing covers – made to measure for all boats

If your old canopy cannot be saved, we can sew a brand new canopy in premium marine fabrics from Sauleda Masacril Special, Sauleda Sea Force, Storm Plus, Swela, and others.

A new boat chapel:

How to know if your boat cover needs to be repaired or replaced

Many awnings can be saved – and this is often cheaper and more environmentally friendly. But sometimes a new awning is the better solution.

We always provide honest feedback based on:

Canopy cleaning & impregnation

Dirt, mold, salt, and UV wear break down the canopy's surface layer and seams.
With our canopy cleaning service, we restore the canopy to its original condition and prepare it for the coming seasons.

Our treatment includes:

gentle hand wash for marine textiles
mold treatment
removal of deep dirt & salt
Re-impregnation for water repellency
UV protection treatment

After treatment, the chapel will be returned:

Does your boat cover need repairing, reinforcing, or updating with new windows, zippers, or seams? We can help you restore the cover's function, fit, and durability so that it will last for many more seasons. Please send us pictures and a brief description of the damage—we will get back to you quickly with an assessment and quote.

Together, we will review the condition, materials, model, and details of your awning. We will explain when it is worthwhile to repair the awning, when windows need to be replaced, and which reinforcements will make the biggest difference. We work with premium fabrics and awning plastic from leading brands such as Sauleda Sea Star, Sauleda Force, Swela Ocean, and Storm Plus to give your awning maximum protection against UV wear, salt, wind, and rain.

Whether you need a minor repair, a replacement window, new zippers, reinforced seams, or a major canopy renovation, we deliver solutions that combine quality, precision, and durability. We also work with zipper replacement, re-stitching, material reinforcement, and improving the fit when the fabric has stretched.

Our goal is to make your boat cover last longer, work better, and provide reliable weather protection—season after season.

Frequently asked questions about chapel services & chapel repairs

What affects the price of chapel repairs?

The price is determined by the extent of the damage, the materials that need to be replaced, the condition of the windows, seams, and zippers, and whether the canopy needs to be washed or impregnated. We always provide a free assessment based on photos.

How do I know if my boat cover can be repaired or if I need to buy a new one?

If the frame and fabric are still stable, the canopy can often be repaired. If the fabric is dry, brittle, or severely sun-faded, a new canopy may be more cost-effective. We will guide you based on condition and needs.

Can you repair skylights or replace them entirely?

Yes, we replace cracked, milky, and worn windows. We install new premium-quality windows (PVC or polycarbonate) and improve the seams and fit at the same time.

Does my canopy need to be washed and waterproofed?

Yes. Chapel washing removes salt, mold, dirt, and algae, while impregnation restores water resistance. This extends the service life and protects against UV wear.

How long does chapel service or chapel repair take?

A normal repair takes 3–10 working days depending on the season and the extent of the damage. More extensive work, such as replacing windows or completely reupholstering, takes longer.

Can you reinforce an old chapel so that it lasts longer?

Absolutely. We reinforce corners, panels, seams, edges, zippers, and exposed surfaces. This significantly extends the product's lifespan and improves durability.

Do you manufacture covers for all types and models of boats?

Yes. We work with all models—sailboats, motorboats, hardtops, day cruisers, dinghies, classic snipes, and modern recreational boats.

What is included in a complete chapel service?

Is it worth repairing my old chapel instead of buying a new one?

In most cases, yes. Repairs cost significantly less than a new canopy — especially if the fabric is still in good condition. We will help you choose the right option, both financially and practically.

Can you alter an old cape so that it looks like new?

Yes. We sew panels, windows, and zippers, and can update the entire canopy model to make it modern, durable, and a perfect fit again.
