I have a pair of old jag (?) car sears that I plan to use as sears in my kids bedrooms. They are mounted on frames for using as lounge chairs although i will want to replace those. The seats have a few rips and the leather is very thin and worn and they could do with more horsehair. Just wondering what they might cost to retrim? Any ideas. I am not far from Sheffield, anyone got any recommendation?
The seats are pretty simple ie no headrests and the seats have fixed backs.
Any thoughts. ??? Thanks

We charge between £150 -£200 per seat. Usually leather look though.
Both my workshop and another on the same road do recovering. To be fair we do mainly house furnishing and caravans etc with the other guy doin cars, but there is some crossover.
I'm in Rotherham.

Cheers for that. And an ex cerbera owner to boot!
Maybe I should bring them over for you to comment/estimate!?

You could do that.
I do get around a fair bit, was in Bakewell last week and will have to go back to deliver so various arrangements can be made.
PM me if you want any info.
Cheers

Great - I am about 2 or 3 miles from Bakewell.
I am after this sort of look and want some frames made up like these too.
