Frequently Asked Questions

From choosing the right cover and arranging installation to delivery, warranties and our Partner Network, you’ll find answers to some of the questions we’re asked most often below.

If you can’t find what you’re looking for, please get in touch with the Flexicovers team and we’ll be happy to help.

Ordering & Lead Times

How do I know my order has been received?

Once payment has been received in full, we’ll send an order confirmation to the email address provided.

How long will my order take?

All Flexicovers products are made to order. Lead times vary depending on demand, but orders typically take between 3 and 8 weeks.

Can I get my cover quicker?

Where production allows, we may be able to offer an express service and move your order ahead in the production schedule. An additional 7% fee applies to this service.

Please contact us to check availability before ordering.

Do you have covers ready-made or available off the shelf?

No. Our covers are produced to order for your specific boat rather than held as standard stock.

What do I do if I can’t find my product online?

There is a good chance we already have the template you need, as not every available product is listed on the website.

Please contact [email protected] with details of your boat and the product you’re looking for.

Which boat brands do you manufacture covers for?

We have an extensive template database for Sunseeker, Princess, Fairline and Sealine.

If your boat or model isn’t listed on our website, don't hesitate to get in touch with us, as we may still be able to help.

Fitting & Installation

Do I need professional help to fit my boat cover?

Retrofit covers are supplied with webbing straps and elastic bungees fitted, while fixings such as press studs, Lift-the-Dots and turn buttons are supplied loose with a fitting toolkit.

Depending on the complexity of the cover, you may be able to fit it yourself.

If you would prefer professional assistance, use our Find a Partner service to locate an approved Flexicovers Partner in your area.

Do you provide a fitting service in the UK?

Yes, subject to availability.
Please contact [email protected] for availability and a quotation.

Do you provide a fitting service in Europe?

Yes, subject to availability.

Please contact [email protected] for a quotation, or use our Find a Partner service to locate a local approved partner.

Do you make customised or bespoke covers?

Yes.

Where required, we can create a new template from a boat available locally, or work from suitable CAD information or supplied drawings.

Please contact [email protected]

Products & Materials

Can you supply fabric samples?

Yes. We can provide fabric samples to help you choose the right material and colour for your project.

How do I know which fabric to choose?

The available fabric options will be shown when selecting your cover online, along with recommended manufacturer colours where applicable.

If you’re unsure which option is right for you, please contact [email protected] and we’ll be happy to advise.

Can I buy fittings and replacement cover parts from you?

Yes.

Please contact [email protected] with details of the parts you require.

Do you replace windows in existing covers?

We don’t currently offer a window replacement service.

It may be possible for an existing cover to have its windows replaced by a specialist, although care needs to be taken to account for any shrinkage in the original cover.

Do you provide a cover repair service?

No. We don’t currently provide a repair service, as the machinery and production environment within our factory need to be kept exceptionally clean.

Do you provide a cover cleaning service?

No.

We recommend following the appropriate care instructions for your fabric and generally advise cleaning covers while they are fitted to the boat.

Can I buy a cover for my Williams jet tender directly from Flexicovers?

Williams covers should normally be purchased through your Williams dealer.

If you have a question about a Williams cover, however, please contact [email protected] and we’ll be happy to help.

How long do boat covers last?

Client information required.

The original FAQ document contains this question but does not provide an answer, so I wouldn’t publish a lifespan without Flexicovers confirming what they want to state.

Delivery & Collection

Can I collect my cover from Flexicovers?

Yes. Orders can be collected from our factory in Poole, Dorset.

When ordering online, select Collection from Factory at checkout.

Is shipping insured or guaranteed?

Flexicovers cannot accept responsibility for goods while they are in transit with a third-party carrier.

Please refer to the Terms & Conditions supplied with your order confirmation or available on our website for full details.

My product has arrived damaged. What should I do?

Please email photographs of the damage along with details of the issue to [email protected].

We’ll review the information and advise you on the next steps.

Will I have to pay import tax or duty for delivery outside the UK?

Yes. Any applicable customs duties or import charges are payable by the customer.

Warranty & Problems

How long is the warranty?

Flexicovers products are supplied with a 12-month manufacturer’s warranty.

Some fabric manufacturers also provide warranties of between 5 and 10 years.

Please refer to the Terms & Conditions supplied with your order confirmation or available on our website for full details.

My cover doesn’t fit. Who should I contact?

Please email [email protected] with photographs and a description of the problem.

We’ll investigate the issue and do our best to resolve it. If the problem is the result of an error by Flexicovers, the product will be remanufactured to the correct template.
