Hi all, after an unfortunate encounter with high winds this weekend our Bradcott awning has torn.  We are based near Cardiff, does anyone know a company Newport/Cardiff/Bridgend/Swansea area that could repair it? 

Many thanks

Nic & Ade

Try these http://www.atlanticmarquees.co.uk/ They are a friendly bunch and always bend over backwards to help.

If you are stuck, I could ask in work, but it's a bit out of our field we normally only do bed sheets, towels and table linen. I got a sun canopy repaired at work but I was none to impressed. Then again, I got it done for free so beggers can't be choosers. Atlantic marquees are a good bunch and have helped with convertible car roofs and boat canopies in the past. They are also very reasonable.

There used to be a place opposite ABC Camping Supplies in Swansea, but the last time I was there they were looking for new premises. If you ring ABC - 01792 796633 - I'm sure they will give you the contact details.

Not sure if they do repairs. They are just up the road from me. You could telephone them on 01443 402629 and ask though.

I went in about 3 years ago looking for a caravan and they told me they were building an extension but would be selling caravans the next season. Still no sign of an extension or any caravan sales. They always seem busy though. I guess they make most of there money on servicing.

we went in last weekend for some pegs and it was packed!! couldn't move in there!

come to think of it i think its an old sign they have there saying awning sales and repairs its outside to the left of the door near where they used to put the big awnings..

but still worth a try :O)

that place on riverside?? mentioned by someone else there, its not in Canton kinda area is it?? i can remember it being near Jeff White car sales cos we went looking for tents years ago???

got me thinking now.

Hi Nic and Ade,

You could try Cowbridge caravans, I know they do servicing and repairs there. Its behind Birds garden centre off the main road. Also, if you dont get any luck i suggest you try your local saddlers' as they repair weatherproof horse rugs and would have the Industrial machine etc needed to repair your awning.

The one in Riverside I beleive is now in Wells Street and is Atlantic Marquees who I mentioned earlier.  It might have been Up and Under who have been gone for many many years, I seem to recall they were in Riverside (or it may have been Roath come to think of it)
