Boat Upholstery Repair in Long Beach and San Pedro
We repair boat seats, cushions and upholstery at your slip, dock or storage yard from Marina del Rey to Newport Beach, or at our San Pedro shop. Sun, salt and water are hard on marine vinyl, and a small tear can let water into the foam underneath.
What the work covers
- Boat upholstery repair for torn or cracked vinyl, split seams and worn cushions, with custom stitching and marine-grade materials.
- Custom marine flooring and EVA decking: a soft, non-skid surface for the cockpit and deck, cut to fit your boat.
Upholstery and flooring are part of our boat renovation work, along with boat polishing and bottom painting.
Signs your upholstery needs work
- Cracks, tears or split seams in the vinyl
- Vinyl that has faded, hardened or turned sticky
- Cushions that stay damp or smell musty after rain
- Loose or broken stitching along the seams
- Floor covering that is worn, peeling or slippery
Questions about boat upholstery repair
Can a torn seat be repaired, or does it need a new cover?
It depends on the size of the tear and the vinyl around it. A small tear in sound vinyl can often be repaired. If the vinyl is brittle or the foam is soaked, new material usually makes more sense. We look first and agree the job with you before work starts.
What makes marine vinyl crack?
Sun, heat and salt are the usual causes, and strong cleaners can dry the vinyl out. Rinsing with fresh water and keeping seats covered helps them last longer.
Book a visit: submit a ticket with the boat, where it is kept and what needs fixing, or call (562) 542-7296.
If your boat's upholstery is worn and faded from sun exposure, or torn and cracked from saltwater damage, it can be a safety hazard as well as an eyesore. A small tear in the vinyl can let water into the foam underneath, causing further damage over time. Boat upholstery repair is essential to maintaining your vessel's integrity and comfort – we offer custom stitching and marine-grade materials for durable results that will stand up to the marine environment.
Boat Upholstery: FAQ
What does a typical boat upholstery repair involve?
Our team inspects the damaged area, removes any old or worn-out material, and replaces it with new marine-grade vinyl. We also re-stitch seams and reattach loose cushions to ensure a secure fit.
Can you explain the difference between standard vinyl and marine-grade vinyl for boat upholstery?
Marine-grade vinyl is designed specifically for boats and is resistant to fading, cracking, and mildew – it's also easier to clean than standard vinyl. We use only high-quality materials that meet or exceed industry standards for durability and performance in harsh marine environments.
