Does anyone know of an outfit that can re-foam and recover a pair of bucket seats by any chance? This is for a pair of basic Sparcos so nothing exotic in terms of materials/build. Is it likely to be a bit pointless in terms of repair cost vs cost of a new pair?

Pointless, especially if you’re not in historics and thus date stamping applies

Date is not applicable to more than historics.

Unless you are v lucky I think it will cost you the same or more to recover/restore the seats than buy new
The other alternative is to watch a few YouTube films and have a go yourself

Thanks for the responses - I've come to the decision to buy a new pair and upgrade to something a bit lighter when the time comes.
