Wouldn't think that if it was done it'd need doing again so soon. Why not give it a go first? We used Thompsons, half the price for the same job. Use one of those pressure sprayers you get from DIY stores, took us about two hours. You'd be suprised at how long the fabric holds its waterproofing capabilities.
