Frequently Asked Questions

Typical projects take anywhere from 1 to 3 weeks, depending on complexity, material availability, and courier schedules nationwide.
📍 Do you offer upholstery services outside Somerset & Dorset?
Yes! Our managed nationwide courier service covers all UK locations—London, Manchester, Cornwall, Scotland, and more—ensuring safe pickup and delivery.
🌿 Are eco-friendly upholstery materials available?
Absolutely. We provide sustainable fabrics (recycled polyester, organic cotton blends) and eco-friendly foam cores, all tested for longevity and performance.
🎨 Can you match existing fabrics and upholstery colours?
Yes. Our experts source from top textile mills to precisely match colours, patterns, and textures, whether you need a swatch for a yacht helm seat or a sofa in Yeovil.
💷 How much does reupholstery typically cost?
Costs vary based on item size, materials, and labor. Small chair repairs start around £80–£120, while full leather car seat retrims can range from £350–£600. We always provide a detailed, no-obligation quote.
⚓ What types of boats do you service?
We upholster a wide range: luxury yachts, sailing boats, RIBs, speedboats, narrowboats, and fishing vessels—offering everything from helm seats to full cabin interiors.
🚚 How does your UK-wide courier service work?
We send a secure packaging kit to your address. You pack your cushions or panels, then arrange pickup with our recommended courier. Once we finish, we ship everything back within 3–5 business days.
🔧 Can you repair tears, burns, or stains on upholstery?
Yes, we specialize in repairing tears, burns, and stubborn stains on leather, vinyl, and fabric. Our technicians employ sectional patching, rebonding, and color-matching techniques to blend repairs seamlessly.
🛠️ Do you offer on-site marine upholstery at marinas?
For large yachts or commercial clients at Poole Harbour, Dartmouth Marina, and Portland Marina, we provide on-site upholstery installation—minimizing downtime and ensuring a perfect fit.
🪑 Can you reupholster antique furniture?
Yes, we have extensive experience with antique and vintage restorations—matching period-correct fabrics, restoring horsehair stuffing and springs, and preserving original character.
🧵 What materials do you use for marine upholstery?
We use UV-stabilized marine vinyls, high-resilience closed-cell foam, and mildew-resistant threads—specifically formulated for saltwater exposure and UK coastal weather.
🚗 Do you offer classic car interior restoration?
Absolutely. We restore and replace leather, vinyl, and Mohair fabrics for classic cars—matching grain, stitch patterns, and piping to preserve authenticity.
🛋️ How do I choose the right fabric for my sofa?
Consider durability (Martindale rub test), stain resistance, UV protection (for sunlit rooms), and colorfastness. We provide swatches and sample packs so you can feel the fabric before deciding.
🏆 Are you fully insured and certified?
Yes. Ocean Breeze Upholstery is fully insured, and our technicians hold industry certifications. We guarantee workmanship for at least 12 months and use materials with manufacturer warranties.
📐 Can you supply custom-cut foam only?
Yes—simply provide dimensions and foam type (high-density, memory foam, or eco-friendly). We CNC-cut precisely and ship nationwide via our next-day courier service.
🔥 How do you prevent mold and mildew in boat cushions?
We use closed-cell, quick-dry foam cores and mildew-resistant fabrics. Additionally, we recommend proper ventilation and remove cushions from damp areas when not in use.
💡 What foam thickness is best for boat seating?
We generally recommend 3–4 inch closed-cell foam for helm seats (for impact absorption) and 2–3 inch high-density foam for bench seating. Memory foam layers can be added for extra comfort.
🎯 Can you match my boat’s existing interior style?
Yes. We analyze your current color scheme, trim style, and décor to source marine-grade fabrics that seamlessly blend or complement your interior for a cohesive, premium finish.
🔍 What is the difference between marine vinyl and regular vinyl?
Marine vinyl is formulated with UV inhibitors, mildew protection, and thicker reinforcement to resist cracking and discoloration. Regular vinyl lacks these additives and deteriorates faster in marine environments.
⏰ How soon can I book an upholstery appointment?
We typically have openings within 1–2 weeks. Peak seasons (spring/summer) fill up quickly—contact us to secure your spot and receive a detailed timeline based on project scope.
