Canvas Waterproofing in Port Charlotte, FL
Kleen All Boats restores water repellency to biminis, enclosures, and covers across Port Charlotte, FL, so summer storms bead off the canvas instead of soaking through it.
Canvas repellency wears out
Marine canvas leaves the factory with a water-repellent finish, and Florida sun and rain strip it a little more every season. Once it is gone, the fabric wets through, dries slowly, and becomes a mildew farm over your cockpit.
Our waterproofing service
- Clean firstWaterproofing only bonds to clean fabric, so the canvas is washed and fully dried before treatment.
- Repellent applicationA marine-grade waterproofing treatment is applied evenly across the fabric, restoring the beading you saw when the canvas was new.
- UV and mildew resistanceThe treatment also helps the canvas resist UV breakdown and gives mildew less moisture to grow in.
How it works
Call (941) 356-7769 or send the form with your boat's length, condition, and where it is docked. We quote the job, usually the same day, then schedule a visit and do the work right at your dock, lift, or marina. You get the boat back better than you left it, without it ever leaving the water.
Canvas Waterproofing: common questions
How do I know my canvas needs waterproofing?
Watch the rain. If water beads and rolls off, the repellent is working. If the fabric darkens and soaks through, the finish is gone and the canvas is ready for treatment.
How long does canvas waterproofing last?
Typically a season or two in Southwest Florida sun, depending on exposure. Re-treating after a deep cleaning keeps the fabric protected continuously.
Can you waterproof old canvas?
Yes, as long as the fabric itself is sound. Waterproofing restores repellency; it does not repair torn stitching or rotted fabric, and we will tell you if the canvas is past treating.
Do you clean the canvas before waterproofing?
Always. Treatment over dirt seals the dirt in and bonds poorly. We clean, dry, and then apply the repellent in one scheduled visit or two, depending on drying time.
