What to know locally in Richards Bay
Ski boat and fishing boat seats from the harbour need marine vinyl, stainless staples and open-cell foam that drains. The port, the smelters and the mines run fleets of bakkies, buses and site vehicles, and many order fitted canvas or vinyl seat covers in bulk. Roof linings sag quickly in parked cars in the heat. Offices in the CBD and Alton send chairs for gas lift and seat repairs, and holiday lodges in Mtunzini recover patio cushions.
Upholsterers and suppliers in Richards Bay
Boats and bakkies drive a lot of the upholstery work in Richards Bay. Ski boats and fishing boats go out from the small craft harbour, and their seats and cushions take sun, salt and fish slime every weekend, so marine vinyl and drainable foam are in steady demand. The port, the smelters and the mining operations run fleets of double cab bakkies and buses whose seats wear through fast. Homes in Meerensee, Arboretum and Birdswood send lounge suites and patio cushions, and families in Esikhaleni and eNseleni recover couches and headboards. Most trimmers and upholsterers sit in Alton and Empangeni. Hot, humid air and salt mean mould and rust are common.
