Christchurch Harbour, Mudeford and the Dorset coast are home to a great many boats, and salt, sun and wind are hard on canvas and upholstery. Golden Button repairs boat covers and canvas, and has made boat seat covers and cushions on heavy-duty machines in the workroom.
What we can help with
- Restitching seams on boat covers and canvas
- Patching tears and chafe points
- Replacing zips on covers and canopies
- Boat seat covers and piped cushions
- Canvas work for tents and outdoor equipment
Bring it clean and dry
Rinse salt from covers and let them dry fully before bringing them in. It makes the condition easier to judge and the sewing cleaner.
Assessing old canvas
UV damage weakens fabric and thread. If the canvas itself has become brittle, new stitching may not hold for long, and Golden Button will say so honestly.
