Vehicle Upholstery

Seats, bolsters and foam rebuilt for cars, vans and campers

Vehicle specialist

Vehicle upholstery is a specialist corner of the same workshop. Bolsters wear where you slide in, foam collapses on the driver’s side, and seams go at the front edge. We repair, re-foam and recover car, taxi, van, motorcycle and campervan seating with materials chosen for use, not a living-room velvet.

Clear photos of the seat, the bolster and the foam (if it is split) get a first conversation going. Some seats come out easily; some need a day in the diary.

Vehicle seating recovered for daily driving, not a show stand
Vehicle seats come to the bench. Most cars, taxis, vans and motorcycle seats unbolt and travel to Hayes. Camper cushions usually do too. Mention airbags, heating or odd brackets in the first photos.
What this actually includes

Explained, not just listed.

01

Bolster repair

The slide-in edge rebuilt so it does not look collapsed from the door.

02

Foam rebuild

Driver-side sag recut so the seat sits level again.

03

Covering

Cloth, leather-look or genuine covering matched to how the vehicle is used.

04

Trim talk

Door cards and extra pieces only where they are part of the same job.

How the job runs

From photos to a piece you can sit on.

A clear path from first pictures to workshop finish — so you always know what happens next.

  1. Photo the seat

    Whole seat, bolster, and any split foam.

  2. Say the vehicle

    Car, taxi, van or camper — wear patterns differ.

  3. Workshop

    Seat out, foam and covering done on the bench.

  4. Back in

    Returned ready to drive, not to baby.

Honest comparison

Advantages & disadvantages

What this service does well — and what to weigh up before you commit.

Advantages

  • Restores seats that fit your vehicle already
  • Foam and cover work can fix comfort and look together
  • Often cheaper than dealer seat replacement
  • Workshop bench work gives controlled finishing

Disadvantages

  • Airbags, heaters and sensors need careful notes
  • Exact OEM patterns and logos are not always possible
  • Seats usually must come out and travel to Hayes
  • Leather colour matching can vary by panel age

This page is a good fit if…

  • Daily drivers with a good car and a tired seat
  • Work vehicles that cannot go into a trim shop for weeks
  • Camper interiors that need foam more than a new van
Quick answers

Questions people actually ask.

Most seats come to Hayes. Some larger camper work is discussed from photos.
We can get close on layout. Factory programs are not always copyable stitch-for-stitch.
If the chassis is good and you like the car, often yes. We will be honest.
