About us
Vehicle interior repair service in South Wales
We carry out a full range of car interior repairs, including:
- Leather Seat Repair Cracks, scuffs, fading, peeling and discolouration on leather and faux leather seats. We recolour, condition and restore to a finish that blends seamlessly with the surrounding material.
- Fabric Seat Repair Rips, tears, snags and stains on fabric and cloth seats. We repair and reinforce the damage so it holds and looks right — without replacing the entire seat.
- Vinyl Seat Repair Splits, cuts and surface damage on vinyl seats and trim. Vinyl repair is a specialist process and we carry the materials to match a wide range of factory finishes.
- Car Seat Reupholstery Where repair isn’t enough, we offer a full seat recovering service. We fit new leather, fabric or vinyl covers to your existing seat frames — a cost-effective alternative to replacement seats.
- Headliner Repair Sagging, torn or stained roof lining? We re-bond and restore headliners at our workshop — a common job on vehicles over five years old that most garages won’t touch.
- Dashboard Repair Cracks, splits and scuffs on dashboards and plastic trim, repaired and recoloured to match.
- Steering Wheel Repair Worn, peeling or scuffed leather and plastic steering wheels restored to a clean, safe finish.
- Carpet Repair Burns, stains and worn patches in vehicle carpets repaired or re-cut.
- Door Card & Trim Repair Scuffed, cracked and damaged door trims and panels repaired and recoloured.
- Cigarette Burn Repair Burns on seats, carpets and headliners repaired to an invisible or near-invisible finish.
- Odour Removal Persistent smells from smoke, pets or moisture treated and eliminated.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to leave my vehicle with you?
In most cases yes — we’ll assess the damage when you drop your vehicle off and give you a firm quote and estimated completion time. Most standard repairs are completed within a couple of hours or same-day.
How much does a car interior repair cost?
It depends on the type and extent of the damage. A single cigarette burn or small seat scuff typically starts from around £90. Larger repairs, full seat reupholstery or headliner replacement will be more. Contact us for a free quote and we’ll give you an accurate price once we’ve assessed the damage.
Can you repair fabric seats as well as leather?
Yes. We work with all seat materials — leather, faux leather, vinyl, fabric and alcantara. The repair process differs by material and we carry specialist products for each.
What is car seat reupholstery and do I need it?
Reupholstery means replacing the surface covering of your seat rather than repairing the existing material. It’s the right option when damage is too extensive to repair invisibly, or when you want to upgrade the material entirely. We’ll advise honestly on whether repair or reupholstery is the better option for your vehicle.
Can you fix a sagging headliner?
Yes — headliner repair is one of our most requested services. The headlining fabric detaches from the board over time due to heat and age. We re-bond and restore it at our workshop in Bridgend.
Do you work with car dealerships?
Yes. We carry out pre-sale interior preparation and refurbishment work for a number of local dealerships across South Wales. If you’re a dealer interested in a trade account, contact us directly on 0800 118 2046.
