What is fabric seat repair?

Tears, burns and worn patches in cloth seats repaired by an upholstery specialist.

Cloth seats wear at the side bolsters and can be damaged by burns or tears. A specialist can patch, re-stitch or replace a section of fabric with a close match, and restore collapsed foam so the seat supports you properly again.

Signs you need it

  • Tears or holes in seat fabric
  • Cigarette burns
  • Worn bolster on the driver's seat
  • Collapsed seat foam

How it works

  1. Assess damage and source matching fabric
  2. Remove seat cover if needed
  3. Repair or replace the damaged panel
  4. Rebuild foam if required
  5. Refit and finish

You can choose a workshop visit or have a professional come to your home, work or depot.

How much does it cost?

The exact price depends on your vehicle and the job. On MYLES, each professional shows a fixed price, a starting price, a range, or sends a quote — so you can compare like for like before you book.

  • Size of damage
  • Fabric availability
  • Foam rebuild

Tips

  • Send a clear photo with a coin for scale
  • Exact fabric matches may be limited on older cars

Why it matters

Improves comfort and the look of the cabin at a fraction of a new seat's cost.
