Boat Upholstery Near Me: Where KTL Marine & Auto Works in Southwestern Ontario
If you're searching for boat upholstery near me, chances are you don't want to haul your boat halfway across Ontario just to get a seat repaired, a cover replaced or an entire interior redone.
That's one of the reasons KTL Marine & Auto has built its business around serving boat owners throughout Southwestern Ontario.
We work with everything from individual seat repairs and replacement cushions to complete boat interiors, custom covers and marine canvas. Depending on the project, we can often come to the boat for measuring, assessment, repairs and other onsite work.
You can learn more about our boat upholstery services and see some of the types of work we do before getting in touch.
Serving boat owners around Lake Erie and Southwestern Ontario
KTL is based in Norwich, Ontario, but our work isn't limited to Norwich.
We regularly serve boat owners in communities including Port Dover, Turkey Point, Long Point, Port Rowan, Port Burwell, Port Bruce, Port Stanley, Simcoe, St. Thomas, London and Woodstock, with other areas considered depending on the project.
These are all areas where boat owners need upholstery and canvas work, and many of them are communities where getting a boat to a traditional upholstery shop isn't always convenient.
Port Dover Harbour Marina alone has hundreds of seasonal slips and provides boat ramps, fuel and other services for boaters on Lake Erie. Port Rowan also has a public launching ramp and marina facilities, while Port Stanley has a long-established boating community and full-service marina.
That means there are plenty of boats in our area that eventually need new seats, repaired upholstery, new canvas or a custom boat cover.
Sometimes the shop comes to the boat
One of the advantages of working with KTL is that not every project needs to start with putting your boat on a trailer.
For certain jobs, we can come to your marina, home or storage location to look at the boat, take measurements or complete repairs and other onsite work.
This can be especially useful for larger boats, boats that are difficult to trailer, or boats that are already sitting in the water.
Our mobile marine upholstery and canvas service was built around the way people actually use their boats.
If the job needs to come to the shop, we'll let you know.
What kind of boat upholstery work do we do?
Not every boat needs a complete interior.
Sometimes it's one damaged seat. Sometimes the foam is still good and only the vinyl needs to be replaced. Other times the foam has deteriorated and rebuilding the seat is the better option.
We work on:
Boat seats
Captain's chairs
Pontoon seating
Cockpit seating
Bow cushions
Sun pads
Bolsters
Side panels
Complete boat interiors
Custom cushions and cushions that need rebuilding

We also build and repair boat canvas
Upholstery isn't the only marine work we do.
KTL also builds and repairs custom boat covers, bimini tops, camper tops and other marine canvas.
For some boats, we can do the work onsite rather than requiring the owner to transport the boat to a shop.
That can save a lot of hassle, particularly when the boat is already at a marina or storage location.
Our marine canvas and boat cover services cover a wide range of projects, from repairs and replacement sections to completely new canvas.
Moving toward the St. Thomas and Sparta area
KTL is also expanding its presence in the area around Sparta and St. Thomas.
As the business plans its move into its new location, the goal is to make it even easier for boat owners in St. Thomas, Port Stanley, London and the surrounding communities to bring their projects to us.
That doesn't mean we're leaving the Lake Erie communities we already serve.
Quite the opposite.
The goal is to have a shop location that makes larger projects easier while continuing to offer mobile service where it makes sense.
