Vehicles, boats & commercial in Welkom: local notes
Taxi owners in Thabong and on the routes to Odendaalsrus and Virginia need rear benches and roof linings redone regularly. Mine and contractor bakkies come in for tough vinyl seats and canvas covers. The hospital and clinics send treatment couches for recovering in cleanable vinyl, and churches in Thabong ask for padded chairs and pew cushions to be recovered before big services.
Upholstery work in Welkom
Welkom was planned as a gold mining town, with wide streets, traffic circles and rows of mine houses, and many of those houses are now owned by families who have lived in them for decades. That means plenty of solid lounge suites, dining sets and wingbacks from the mining years that are worth recovering rather than replacing. Riebeeckstad and the older suburbs bring this kind of work, while Thabong has home upholsterers and a busy taxi trade. Mine vehicles and contractor bakkies from around Odendaalsrus and Virginia need seats rebuilt and covers fitted. Workshops sit in the industrial area and near the CBD. Dust from the mine dumps and dry winters are hard on fabric and leather.
The requests we see from Welkom usually come from:
- Homeowners and tenants: the family sedan whose driver's bolster has cracked from years of climbing in and out
- Offices and businesses: executive company cars kept presentable with recoloured, restitched leather seats
- Car, bakkie and taxi owners: dealers reconditioning leather seats before a used vehicle goes onto the floor
Local tips for Welkom
Common here: older lounge suites and wingbacks, taxi benches, mine and contractor bakkie seats. Ask each workshop about this: ask whether the upholsterer will replace the springs and webbing, not just the foam. Where they work from: workshops in the industrial area and near the CBD, home upholsterers in Thabong.
Around Welkom the largest group asking is homeowners and tenants, which usually means the family sedan whose driver's bolster has cracked from years of climbing in and out. Before you agree to anything: check the leather is not worn through. Collection here: local foam and fabric, with special orders from Bloemfontein; collection in town.
