We have used CBSCC to have the upholstery in two of our static caravans changed. The managing director came down and stripped everything out - they sent samples to me to choose new fabric then everything was all refitted - again by the MD. The caravans looked like new - service was excellent, I would have no problem in recommending them - it was not cheap, but our caravans are rental so do get hammered - but spending this money was well worth while.

I did mine myself, it was a lot of work and takes a lot more fabric than you'd think. Well worth it in the end though.

I recovered our caravan seats. You Tube have clips of how to reupholster using button back. Takes time.

Use the old fabric as pattern for cutting.
It take more fabric than you think if you do it yourself make sure you can get extra fabric for the 'just in case' moment.

the foam may well be worn which will either need replacing or wadding added.
In truth although you could do it yourself, the cost for our 2 berth was c £400 including curtains. It's worth getting quotes and saving yourself a huge amount of work.

I enjoyed doing it, taught myself how to button back and was very pleased with how it all looked. Just a shame that the wheel came off the van on our 2nd outing and was written off!
