Home / Vehicle Interiors
Worn seats, sagging headlinings, split door cards and tired trim – repaired or re-covered. In cars, and in motorhomes and caravans where the whole interior is the job.
Split seams, worn bolsters and damaged panels repaired, and collapsed foam rebuilt so the seat supports you properly again.
Seats re-covered in a material, colour, stitch and piping you choose — one seat, a full set, or the whole interior to match.
Sagging headlinings re-covered, plus door cards, armrests, gear boots, pillar trims, parcel shelves and boot linings.
Seating groups, dinette benches, back cushions, bed squabs and interior panels, redesigned or restored.
Seats with side airbags. In most vehicles built since the mid-2000s the side airbag sits inside the seat back and fires through a designated tear seam in the factory cover. A cover stitched across that seam can slow or stop it. We identify airbag seats before we quote and either reproduce the seam correctly or tell you the seat isn’t one to re-cover.
A re-covered seat next to an original door card makes the door card look worse than it did before. Most of the vehicle work here runs the same material through the seats, door cards, armrests and pillar trims so the interior reads as one job rather than a new seat in an old car. Where only part of the interior is worth doing, we match the new work to what’s staying rather than the other way round.
A new cover and a rebuilt bolster, matched to the rest of the interior.
Door cards, armrests and panel trim re-covered to match the seats, in the same material run so the interior reads as one job.
Every seat in the vehicle re-covered in one material and stitch pattern, front and rear, so nothing looks newer than anything else.
Yes, and it’s one of the most common jobs we do. The foam backing on the original fabric breaks down with UV and the material drops away from the board. The fix is to take the board out, strip the old material and foam off completely and re-cover it. Glue sprayed at the sagging fabric from below does not hold.
Depending on condition: split or unravelled seams, worn cover panels, collapsed foam, or the whole seat surface. Photos of the damage plus a wide shot of the seat are usually enough for a first assessment.
Usually. Exact factory material is rarely available on an older vehicle, so the practical approach is to re-trim the adjacent parts — door cards, armrests, headlining — in the same material rather than trying to match one panel to a faded original. We’ll tell you which of those two you’re looking at before you commit.
Yes — a fabric centre panel with leather or vinyl on the wear edges is common, and often the more durable choice. We pick the combination around the vehicle, how hard it gets used and how you want it to look.
Yes. Dinette seating, benches, back cushions, bed squabs and interior panels can be repaired, re-padded or fully re-covered. Larger jobs are usually booked as a single interior rather than piece by piece.
Often, if the vehicle is mid-2000s or newer — it sits in the outer edge of the seat back and deploys through a tear seam in the cover. We check for the label and the seam before quoting, and either reproduce the seam correctly or advise against re-covering that seat.
This depends on multiple variables including but not limited to fabric availability, job complexity, foam and frame condition, unforeseen complications.
Time frame can be discussed at time when job is booked in.
Send a few photos through, or give us a call and we’ll talk it over.
