Afternoon all

I'm just wondering if anyone has an idea regarding a general price on how much it would
Cost to have my 3door front and rear seats re trimmed in materiel/leather?

I just have no idea not even a ball park figure…. I'm guessing its not going to be cheap

leather always depends on quality of the hide and thickness etc. 600 seems to cheap..

Rob,
Go and see Phil from Kew trimmers on Cemetery Road, just near Firwoods. He's pretty old school and his work has always been first class. Failing that I've got the details of a family business this side of Preston that I've used 3 times now, and they're really good too.

im good ben, im doing retrims myself now :lol: because ive been ripped off in the past so give me a shout if you need anything doing and ill sort you out. I trimmed my dads van (roof linning, door cards, bed seats, dicky seats dash and loads more for under 200 notes but that's materials alone and used about 3o metres of material doing everything. just got to do carpets next.) took just over a week turn round first job.

£600 is Cheap, but as with any job like that a price is determined by there overheads.

People fall into the trap of thinking if someone charges more then they must be better than the guy that charges less….

The guy that i know works by himself and he owns the premises rather than renting so as his overheads are low he can keep his prices down

I no what you mean mate, but some people are also greedy aswell charging well over the odds even working at home
