We've just had our cushions in the van totally replaced ....... foam and removable covers with zips. My question is whether anyone else has had this done professionally and if you don't mind telling me how much it cost? I think we've got a good deal (£800 approx for about 12 cushions) but as the upholsterer we have used is the only local company to do caravans we didn't really have any other quotes to go by.

No issues with the upholsterer, they have been fantastic and would be happy to recommend them to anyone, i'm just being nosy ! lol

One of the 'van mags did a feature on upholstery, they had a 2 berth van (Avondale Wren) reuphostered, cost £1100. You have a bargain.

Hi

I had all the cushions in my motorhome (10) refilled, new liner and rebuttoned for £325. I thought this was a brilliant price as others had quoted £600 +. As they say it pays to shop around

I was quoted "about a thousand" for a 5 berth van 7 years ago by a local upholsterer. We managed to get seconds that mostly fitted from a place in Hull for about £450 but the one at the front in the middle wasn't replaced, nor the one on the bunk.

If you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel, just keep going till you go round the bend.

Well we've got them back today and they're fantastic ! I couldn't have wished for better. £800 well spent I think. Thanks for the replies , it seems we've hit about the average price.

Look out for piccies coming soon ! Mick is just finishing off the shower room so nearly ready for a good clean and then we can get busy putting everything back in !
