Re-upholstery (1 Viewer)

I have an older year 2000 Hymer, and have found a fabric that I like. Are there any companies in Scotland that can re-upholster, or is it a trek to Yorkshire.

Down the road, turn right across the bridge and Cupar awaits. A lot closer to you than the land of flat caps and whippets.......

It's not rocket science any local upholsterer worth his salt can reupholster anything - shop local.
Motorhome seats and cushions are not that complicated

Hi Stealaway , I'm told you need a specialist to supply and fit the new foam to the front seats ,eledgedly the foam is the hard bit ,anyone can do the reupholstering .Told to me be a caravan upholstering company who could not do what I wanted because the seats are made up with special foam and shaped to suite the frame and it is expensive and a specialist job .Unless they just did not want to do it lol,no sure.

You may have to find a auto upholstery specialist locally I'm sure they will be familiar with various foams and firmness.
Although I have seen local upholsterer replace foam and they shape it with electric carving knife - not rocket science.
Have you seen the foam construction under your covers? You may be surprised how crude they are.
My local company are a man and wife who reupholster everything and anything - nothing phases them and are more than helpful.
I had my front seats recovered and they had to take my seat covers apart to reuse the original fabric, replaced the vinyl with leather for a total of £200 for both front seats. Regent quoted £700 per seat and NOT matching the original fabric.

The red and black seat is the original Fiat seat butchered to fit Burstner seat cover. The original rubber headrest just has piece of foam covering it - bodge!
