I've been looking for a tent cleaning company for the past few days but to no avail. Could you please direct me to a few companys that offer this service please within the west midlands area. My tent is a Eurohike Balmoral 10 berth dome tent, which is almost 2 years old.

I would also need the tent rewatered proofed as this year it leaked in a bit.

Thank you.

Have you considered whether you could do it yourself.I know that Towsure sell tent cleaning and reproofing products.I think they are Oggie?

To have it cleaned and reproofed would probably cost you more than buying a new one, tbh. And Eurohike tents are a fairly basic brand...nothing wrong with them, but they're not expensive tents. How long have you actually used the tent? Synthetic canvas does delaminate over time due to UV exposure, so it's more down to how many weeks of use and in what sort of climate rather than actual age of a tent.

As to leaking...the weather we've had this year have caused an increase in complaints about excessive condensation in tents. Are you sure it wasn't this that you noticed?
