Fabric Dying - sofa covers
Discussion
Chaps,
I've posted this in 'Homes Gardens and DIY' but not had much response, so I'll try the question in here.
I'm looking for someone who knows about drying fabric and can offer some wisdom on the matter. Mrs 2bToo and I are looking to have some sofa covers re-dyed. The sofas are 25 years old but high-quality and in excellent condition. The covers can be unzipped and removed and are also in excellent condition, but quite faded. Hence the desire to re-dye them, aiming for their original (or close to original) colour.
Here are some photos:
There are two single chairs and one double. The fabric is cotton and I'd guess the whole lot is around 12-15kg of material.
The problem is finding someone who can/will dye them for us. Lots of places will make new covers but the current ones are fine, other than the fadedness. We have found one chap who sounds quite plausible but he has quoted £900 to dye them all.
Does anyone have a place or company they can recommend? Or is anyone here into fabric dying and able to make some recommendations about price and options?
All suggestions welcome, thanks.

We did some chair cushions a few months with dylon fabric dye from Amazon. Came out well, wasn't difficult and they've got loads of colours.
We did it in a 25 litre plasterers bucket from Screwfix and then washed it but the instructions say that you can just do it all in the washing machine.
