Re-upholstery Forums

Has anyone any experience of having their Hymer re-upholstered ? If so, who did you use, and how much did it set you back ?

I quite like the look of some of the other Hymer colour schemes, (We've got "Ravel" but the cost of some of the Hymer fabrics is prohibitive so I've heard.

Any suggestions ?

Hi Smick,

The thing I can advise on is the cost of Hymer fabrics, you are correct in your assumption, most things 'hymer' don't come cheap, we recently got some 'Stockholm' fabric for a few cushions in ours - around £35 per metre Shocked

Do bear in mind that only the current UK Hymer fabrics are flame retardant, all the other European ones aren't. Not sure about the situation on previously used UK fabrics, you'd have to check with Hymer but the current list of UK flame retardant fabrics are - Stockholm, Marbella, Vesuv, Bristol and Pacific.

If you're not too bothered whether the fabric is official Hymer then it would be a lot cheaper to try and source some of the other 'Belgian' type fabrics that are used in other vans.

Thanks folks, useful info. Think I might give the genuine Hymer a miss on this occasion - bit expensive. Will follow up the other.

I just went to a local recommended upholsterer, cost £500 excellent job in only 2 days i made my own curtains to match. I think Regal are very expensive. The price was for a 6 berth including cab seats. Very happy.

We used A1 Trimmers at Knottingley, West Yorkshire and are absolutely delighted at the job which they did on our B654. We had new foam for all the seats and backrests, the 2 captain's chairs, new curtains all round plus tiebacks, total reupholstery in Hymer cloth. All the work was carried out in a day and cost £450. The people were very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. We would definitely recommend them. Phone number 01977 607976.

We used regal and had ours done in leather - cost £2k but has proved worth it - two years later and still looks like new. Great service and he even made up some curtains to match for us for free. Highly recommended
