New cushion / seat covers? where and how much?

[yankeebloke]

Hi All

I have decided that the 4 cushions that make up the "V" berth seats / bedding in my Sealine require new covers.

The foam etc is fine, i just want the material over the foam replaced.

despite google, etc i cannot find anything that doesnt require me driving 200+ miles to drop them off to even get a quote!

Has anyone had and re-covering done?

Who do you recommend etc etc

Many thanks

John

Sorry all,

My coat is in Cambridgeshire, but i travel in the South of England alot, so i am looking for some i can either ship cushions to or drop off and have shipped back.

I did try my local upholsters, but they dont have the same material as marine upholster's and cost per meter is quite expensive £40/meter cheapest so far!

Kilter...........is eastcoastbernie a recomendation? sorry but i dont get the "of these fora" part of the message???? probably me being thick

thanks all

Contact Steve at Esteem Upholstery in Poole - he did a great job on my foredeck cushions a couple years ago.

Find another local upholsterer who is interested, a decent one will be able to get any material you want.

Try Hamilton Marine at Maldon.

Did a very good job for me and not at the usual boaty rip off prices.

Don't go to a marine upholsterer at all.

I had a boat fully retrimmed once, cabin and cockpit. Marine trimmer quoted £2500 + VAT

Local Caravan trimmer did it for £450 all in - used marine materials, but he charges £15 per hour - the marine guy charged £35 per hour and was clearly planning to spend a lot more hours on it.

The end result was lovely and lasted years.
