How it works

Send a few photos of the boat. Canvas makers and boat upholsterers in Poland, the Baltics and Ukraine send price proposals. The one you choose travels to your harbour, makes a template on site and comes back to install.

Nine steps, two trips to your berth.

You do most of it on your phone. The workshop comes to the boat twice: first to measure, then to install.

Money changes hands twice. A booking fee to us once you have chosen a quote, and the rest directly to the workshop. How the fee is calculated

    Workshops that sew what you need and travel to your part of Sweden. They get the request in their own language.

    You get price proposals

    An estimated price that may change by at most 10 % once the workshop has measured. Questions and answers are translated both ways, and the original text is always shown alongside.

    Compare price, materials, ratings and when they can come. If none fits, you close the request and it costs nothing.

    You pay the booking fee

    8 % of the estimated price, at least SEK 500. It is deducted from the workshop's price, so you do not pay more in total.

    You get each other's contact details

    Now you talk directly to the workshop. You and the workshop sign the agreement for the job with each other.

    The workshop comes and measures

    They make a template on the boat and then set the final price. If it differs by more than 10 % from the quote and you say no, we refund the fee.

    After a month we get in touch

    Did it turn out as agreed? Your rating and photos help the next boat owner. If something is wrong, we contact the workshop together with you.

    WhoUs

We are the go-between. You sign the agreement with the workshop.

We sew nothing ourselves and we are not a party to the job. We find the workshops, translate, keep track of who should answer and make sure you get quotes you can compare.

We earn money on one thing only: the booking fee you pay once you have chosen a quote. It is deducted from the workshop's price, so your total stays the same.

Once the fee is paid, we release the contact details in both directions.

Worked examplePreliminary
The workshop's estimated price
SEK 40,000
Booking fee to us
SEK 3,200
Paid when you choose the quote.
To the workshop
SEK 36,800
Paid directly to the workshop, as agreed between you.
Your total
SEK 40,000

The fee is at least SEK 500. On a repair for SEK 2,400 it is therefore SEK 500.

The rule is not final. The one that applies to your job is shown on the payment page before you pay.

Guarantees and delivery times
Those are given by the workshop in its agreement with you. We promise nothing about the job itself.

The workshops take the ferry over.

The canvas makers and upholsterers are in Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Ukraine. They drive over with template film and tools, measure at your berth, go home and sew, and come back to install.

We check every workshop's VAT number, and all of them sign our agreement and a data processing agreement for your details. Ukraine is outside the EU. There we check the details by hand, and the agreement includes the EU standard contractual clauses.
