Boat Upholstery Near St. Thomas and Port Stanley
KTL Marine & Auto provides boat upholstery, marine canvas, and custom boat covers for boat owners along the Lake Erie shore and across Elgin County — including St. Thomas, Port Stanley, Port Bruce, Port Burwell, and surrounding areas. We've been doing this work for over 30 years and we'll come to you for many projects.
Why boat owners in this area call KTL
The Lake Erie shore between Port Stanley and Port Dover has a concentration of boat owners who want quality work done on their terms. Most don't want to drive their boat across the province to find a shop that knows marine upholstery. KTL handles the full range — seats, canvas, covers — and for many projects we can come directly to your marina or storage location.


Services available near St. Thomas and Port Stanley
Boat seat repair and upholstery From a single cracked seat to a full cockpit re-upholstery. KTL uses marine-grade materials on every job. We'll assess what you have and tell you whether repair or replacement makes more sense before any work starts.
We work on:
-
Individual seat repairs (vinyl, foam, seams)
-
Full cockpit seating
-
Pontoon boats
-
Bow cushions and sun pads
-
Bolsters and captain chairs
-
Complete interior rebuilds
Marine canvas and tops Custom bimini tops, camper tops, enclosures, and repairs to existing canvas. All canvas work is measured and patterned from the actual boat. If the canvas can be repaired rather than replaced, we'll say so.
Custom boat covers Mooring covers and trailerable covers built to fit your specific boat. KTL uses a real-fit templating method — the cover is built around your boat, not pulled from a shelf and stretched to fit.

Mobile service
For many projects along the Lake Erie shore, KTL can come to the marina, the cottage, or your storage location. You don't necessarily need to haul the boat anywhere. We'll work out the right approach based on the job.
How to request a quote
Send photos of the boat and describe what you're looking for. Include the make, model, and year. That's usually enough to give you a realistic sense of what's involved and what it will cost.

Can you come to the marina? For many canvas and cover projects, yes. Mobile measuring, templating, and certain repairs can be done at your location depending on the scope of the job.
My boat is older and I can't find a factory cover for it. Can you help? Yes. Custom covers are well-suited to older boats. Everything is built from scratch to fit your specific boat, which means the year doesn't matter.
