I have the seats recovered by Lee at Viking motorcycle seats in Kent.

Not actually in London, but I'd trust Sickpup on this.

If you take it to Lee get a quote before hand.Over the last 6 months I have been charged £60 for a recover, £70 to remove, fit a heated element and refit the original cover and the last one was £90 for a recover so prices can be all over the place.

I did mine in almost the same way, except enough vinyl to do 2 seats cost me under 4 quid and I used glue with no staples. Pack of superglue from poundland in fact.

It took me more than an hour, but that's because I was watching telly at the same time

It's been on there for just under 2 years (like a couple of weeks under 2 years), kept outside, never garaged or covered and it's still fine.
