High Quality Boat Repairs

TLC Yacht and Boat Repairs are well established in the field of building beautiful teak decks and have many years experience installing decks on boats and yachts of all sizes. Being part of the Camper & Nicholson team fitting out the 58ft in the early 1980's gave Barry a real benchmark against which to measure a high standard of joinery, a standard that TLC Boat Repair still lives up to. As well as custom teak decks we also build teak panels to order and can also carry out internal alterations, general boat repairs and internal joinery to a very high standard.


Update October 2025

We currently have enough high quality, quarter sawn 10mm thick Burmese teak in stock for a 45 foot boat. Give us a ring for a quote.

Personal Recommendations

Tom Cunliffe decided to have his yacht Constance transported to TLC from the Solent on the South Coast to have her teak deck repaired by Barry Lovell and his team at TLC Boat Repair. The repair was described in the December 2012 issue of Yachting Monthly in an article written by Tom Cunliffe. Tom said:

"Barry completed the job on time and on budget, to a standard where 'good enough' just wouldn't do."

To find out more, see our page on Teak Decks, our article about Constanceor check out Tom's Site.

Also, take a look at a recent YouTube video Tom posted about having his teak deck fitted.
