Re-covering jockey seats

[Blue Lightning]

Hi

I have just been quoted £65 to re-cover a 3 man jockey seat in black vinyl.

Seems quite a lot?

Where's the best place to go in the Southampton area for this type of job?

Thanks

Sounds about right. Is it piped?

[Blue Lightning]

It is piped at the moment, but doesnt need to be.
I want to keep the bboat 'up together', but reluctant to spend too much, as it's not a fancy rib...

Is it just straight black HD vinyl?

[Blue Lightning]

Yes, nothing fancy just vinyl!

I paid £100 a year and a half ago for my 2 man jockey and i redid all the wood and dried out all foam. Granted I am in a captive market but even so it doesn't seem like too bad a price.

Just my 2p worth.

That sounds like a good price to me. I just had a large cushion re-done. Plain grey fabric with blue pipping and new foam, cost me £185+vat

I just had 2 jockey seats and 2 seat pads done, plus the suicide seat.
It was £160 - had it done up here in the north east by a local auto upholsterer.
Before and after pictures attached !
£65 for your job seems pretty good price.

Seeing as everyone thinks this is a good price...... where in Southampton is it?

This little job cost me £25, It's only a Two man seat, but I am dead chuffed with it. It was Black Vinyl originally, but over the years it had split in several places, and the foam was saturated so it had to go. I just binned the foam and Vinyl, cleaned up the base board, took it down to a local upholsterers told them what I wanted, and the result is in the photos.
