Can anyone recommend a good seat retrimmer / reupholsterer in the south west please, and also a rough idea of cost.
I'm in Swindon, so somewhere within a couple of hours of there would be preferable
Any advice would be greatly appreciated

I think it would be 2+ hours, but I can highly recommend West Country Re-trimmers in Bovey Tracey, Devon. 01626 833722

No website to link to, but the father and son owners have done a lot of TVR work and made an excellent job of mine (carpet, seats and hood).

Mine cost ITRO £450.

What! eek

Seats retrimmed as pictures, plus carpets and hood replaced .... all for £450?

My new hood cost me very nearly that from there.

The OP was asking specifically about seats - and that's what I was responding to.

Ah that makes more sense.

Certainly looks like they made a lovely job.

Do you mind sharing what they actually did?

ie
Seats fully recovered?

Full leather?

Padding replaced?

Mine are starting to look a bit worn and the bases are sagging. They made a good job of my hood so I'd be happy to use them again.

TIA
