"Sally and I would like to thank you all for doing such a wondrous job on our Van.
From the initial contact everyone has been welcoming and shown the proffessionalism that exists at Caravan and Boat Seat Cover Centre.
We arrived with some preconceived ideas of what we wanted (or so we thought) but on seeing the array of materials on display we were put in a proper quandary. We chose something completely different to start and with some expert guidance from Nikki who has a much keener eye than either of us, we ended up with a finish that we can only describe as superb and for that we thank you a million.
Best wished to you all and have a Merry Christmas."
Yours Sincerely,
Sally & Colin Brown,
Hatfield
"We are very much enjoying the comfort of a good nights sleep and the support of our new cushions when we are operating in “Office Mode” in our Camper Van.
Thank you so much to all the team for their interest in helping us to get what we required in a colour, texture and pattern that we did not know we wanted and also in working hard to have them ready in unexpected record time...
From our point of view we are extremely happy with the comfort and style of our home.
Thank you so much."
With best regards,

"We both just wanted to say a big thanks to you for all your help recently in transforming our Funbus for us.
It turned out far better than we ever dared to hope and we are super please with the result.
We have now fitted the new curtains a job we won’t be repeating anytime soon... we will send over to you a couple of photos etc.
We going to write an letter for the MMM Magazine (whether it’ll get published who knows) and maybe this will bring more clients flocking to your doors.
Great Job, well done, just love it to bits.
Please pass on our thanks to the lovely lady that did the job for us."

"Good morning to all,
My wife & I would like to say that how delighted we are with the new covers and foams for our caravan interior.
From the first discussion with John offering advice and suggestions to the finished product we cannot praise the whole team enough for customer service and quality of our Interior furnishings.

"Attached are the photos I took today at the Naming Ceremony for Sunbeam II.
Everyone was very impressed with the boat. The bench seats at the front and stern of the boat were greatly appreciated as they were not available on the original Sunbeam.
Again we really appreciate the effort everyone at your company made to get the cushions to us in time for the ceremony."
Kind Regards,

I shall have absolutely no hesitation in recommending the company and would be happy to give a testimonial if ever needed.

"We wanted to let you know how pleased we are with the re-upholstery on our motor-home.
The service we received could not be faulted, especially the little touches like the bolster cushions, and the taxis to and from the city centre.
We would not hesitate to recommend your company to anyone else who is thinking of updating the caravan or motorhome.
Here are some before and after photos."

"We would like to thank Lin Bond and all the staff at “The Caravan & Boat Seat Cover Centre” for the work they did in re-vamping our caravan.
We have a 2003 Sterling Europa 480 caravan that we bought new, and after 15 years of use, the seats and cushions were showing their age with both fading and lack of support.
Not being able to find a new caravan that we like better, we decided to have new foam fillings and covers to bring the interior up to date.
I have attached photos of “Before”, “After”, and “Finished look”. The material we chose is “Kilburn Oatmeal SR12902”, although my photos tend to show it a bit lighter than it actually is.
We now have the caravan that we love, with a up to date look, for a cost of less than 10% of the £20,000 it would have cost for a new caravan.
We would definitely recommend your services to anyone considering updating their upholstery."
Very best wishes to you all,
Terry and Caroline French,
Devon
“We have used the Caravan & Boat seat cover centre twice now and twice we have been totally impressed with them.
We were recommended to them by our workshop manager Dave Chambers who had been to them for some repair work to the seats in his caravan. We had been chatting and I was moaning about how uncomfortable our settees were in our lounge. He said that he had had the "Caravan & Boat" people do some work, and that they had recommended changing the foam and said the difference was amazing.
We drove up to their premises in Bristol, and we immediately impressed with their mix of friendly, unhurried professionalism. We chatted about our problem, were offered solutions and price options over a coffee and a biscuit. Their showrooms are large and full of examples of their work, but better still, their workshops are on view as the whole rear wall is glazed so you can see the craftsmen and women at work.
A week or so later the promised phone call came and our new settee cushions were ready to collect.
When we arrived there were a couple of motor-homes in the car park. One was being measured up for a total refurbishment, and the other was being collected. The couple told us that they were delighted with the finished job, as were we when we saw our cushions.
We had been thinking about getting some of the soft covers and seats from our boat replaced as a combination of sun, sea and salt hammers soft furnishings and upholstered panels. It was soon sorted after a quick chat that it was absolutely no problem for them if we delivered all the items we wanted recovering, they would advise the best materials and work out a quote.
We collected everything last Friday and to say we are pleased is an understatement, everything is perfect, everything is exactly as they said it would be, and we are so pleased.
Made better by the fact that they contacted us a few days after they started work and said that the material that we had selected, wasn't working as well as they would like and asked if they could send a sample of a slightly dearer fabric which would produce the desired effect.
They did, we agreed to the material change totally expecting the invoice to be marginally higher, but no, the change was because it wasn't working as well as they wanted, not to charge us more money.
They just wanted very happy satisfied customers, and they certainly have achieved that!”

Eddie Jones,

Dear Jon and all the team,
Well thank you seems a very small way of expressing our utter delight in what you have helped us achieve in our Consalt Capri 1999 static caravan.
It's seating looked tired and worn and you've simply given it a facelift... you don't do people as well do you?!
The workmanship and skill is so evident... we were going to say to your cutters and machinists and then realised we might leave someone out and each and everyone of you is as important as the next.
We can't thank you enough, we went online and saw your great website and meeting the family of faces who worked there was a joy in its self... can a picture of a face tell you it's all going to be just so... well it did for us!
The process was so refreshing, it actually works.
All you people out there loving your caravan but knowing it wont be long before your bum goes through that threadbare material...
Have no fear this man and his team are wonderful, use them and we guarantee you'll be left with a big smile on your face.
OH! and a posh new caravan.

"Hello,
We would like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to all the staff involved in the reupholstering of our camper van.
You have carried out a first class job in a very friendly manner.
As we are not local to your business, (we are from Portsmouth), we were a bit concerned about dealing with the job at a distance, but we should not have worried.
From our point of view it was a very straight forward exercise.
Nothing was too much trouble from the moment we arrived at your showrooms until we picked it up two weeks later.
You even remembered to send a piece of material, sufficient to do a repair if we have any disasters in the future.
We would have no hesitation in recommending you to our friends."
Best Wishes,
Lois and Stewart Vacher,
Portsmouth

Have sent a couple of shots of the fabulous new interior!!
We love it. It's bright and modern even for an old boy of 12 years old!
We are now on our way to the sun in France and Spain. I only wished all the other campers could see inside and his transformation!!

"Would like to thank you folk for the quick response your Team have achieved, regarding our replacement soft furnishings for our rather elderly ABI 420ET Marauder caravan - 1996 vintage!
After unpacking and trying everything out for size and position, we are delighted with the result, the new fabric complementing the original colour scheme, and with much improved support from the new cushioning!
This now gives our well loved caravan a new lease of life - not to mention improved comfort for night-time!
Thank you also for sending the fabric remnant - will use this to replace some of the curtains also!
Brilliant job! Again, many thanks to your Team for their excellent work, much appreciated.
Please find attached photos."

The seats have all been safely received and installed at Bo Peep - they will be tested this weekend.

"We are writing regarding the new boat cushions which you made and upholstered for us.
It seems too little to say we are delighted with them - we are absolutely over the moon!
We were very nervous that we might have made a mistake with the templates, but they are a perfect fit and look really beautiful.
Thank you so much for all the care you took with them and when the boat is finished we shall make sure to send a photograph, so you will be able to see how your skill has transformed the whole look of it - we hope you may then be as pleased as we are!"
Very best wishes,
Tim and Eileen Measures,

"A sincere thank you to all of you for the way you have treated us and for the beautiful work done to our motorhome.

The end result is simply stunning, so thank you all very much."
Avril and Tony Spiller

"Many thanks for the lovely job you recently did on my caravan seating.
Also my thanks for the generous piece of matching material which I've used to re-trim the curtain and shelf pelmets in the caravan."
Thanks again,
J. Douglas
"We have just spent a very happy time fitting our new seat covers into all seats (including drivers and front passenger seats) in our new Adria Motorhome.
Had to write to tell you how pleased we are! The fit is perfect, including fiddly head and arm rests, and we know how tough the material is, having struggled a bit with making a small hole for seat straps to go through.
I think this material (Manhattan Beige) must be almost indestructible!
Love the colour/patten - so much so I'm just wondering "Should I get covers to protect my beautiful, new, fully removable and washable covers just because I can't bear the thought of getting them grubby."
Thanks so much for a beautiful job and all the best,
Pam and Tom Sage,
Herts
"Just wanted to say a big thank you for refilling the foam mattress in our folding camper.
We had been itching to get away sooner to try it out but finally made it away on Sunday 20th July for a week.
We are pleased to report that we are now enjoying comfortable nights of sleep, and ache free mornings!!
We can no longer feel the bed boards beneath us...it's just like being in our bed at home.
The whole process was perfect...from the day we arrived in your showroom with our mattress, the friendly and expert advice you gave us, the swift turn around and dispatch of our order, and the quality of the work carried out and products used.
This is the third time we have used CBSCC (new seat foam and covers for one caravan, replacement foam mattress for our fixed bed caravan and now our folding camper mattress).
We have always received the friendliest expert service and products and will continue to recommend you to others.
Can't thank you all enough for sorting us out, yet again!!"
Best wishes,
Mr & Mrs Vine,
Trowbridge, Wiltshire
"Just to let you know the cushions for our yacht (Artemis) arrived in Greece.
I am pleased to say they all fit perfectly."
Thanks very much,
P & J Bainbridge
"Many thanks for such brilliant service in replacing the foam in the cushions of our camper van.
From my initial e-mail to you and Lynn's quick response via phone to my husband, everything went like clockwork.
I then phoned Lynn and chatted to such a friendly lady who advised me about sending the whole cushions to you.
You then sent me very large bags, which I almost got lost in! so I could send the cushions to you. Lynn then arranged for them to be picked up from a delivery service.
Once delivered to you I then phoned Lynn to discuss the best way to go deciding which foam to use and the price. The price given was well below what I had expected even for the supreme grade, and postage.
Within days the cushions were being delivered back to us and what a difference they made in the van.
We have sat on them and they are very comfortable.
We now look forward to getting away to Cornwall very soon and enjoy a good night's sleep.
When we first had our van 6 years ago the foam was good to sleep on but over the years the foam deteriorated.
Please give our thanks to Lynn for all the help she gave us. By sending the complete cushions to you took all the worry out of getting the measurements correct.
We will highly recommend your company to friends in our motorhome club."
Mr & Mrs Vickers
"We've just come back from Dawlish and wanted to say how delighted we are with the new seating. It looks great and is very comfortable."

"After looking locally for a Caravan upholstery firm, and not being impressed, I used the web and found CBSCC.
I placed an order and from the start to finish the service was 100%.
We had a slight hiccup and CBSCC couldn't have been more accommodating.
My cushions arrived and the quality was exceptional, I can't recommend them enough."
