Worcester notes on supplies & care
Upholstery fabric and foam are limited locally, so many upholsterers order from Cape Town; ask for UV-stable fabric for sunny stoeps. Faux leather and canvas suit farm use. DIYers can find staples, webbing and foam at a few local shops. Upholstery cleaners work in town and on farms, and extraction machines can be rented for a weekend; check the cleaning code first.
Upholstery work in Worcester
Summer heat in the Breede River valley is hard on anything upholstered: vinyl splits on bakkie seats, leather dries out and fabric fades on stoeps facing the afternoon sun. Worcester is the service town for the table grape farms of De Doorns and the wine cellars of Rawsonville and Robertson, so farm bakkies, tractors and staff buses bring a steady stream of seat repairs. Homes in town and in Zwelethemba and Avian Park recover lounge suites and dining chairs, and the town's many schools and churches recover chairs and pews in bulk. Ski boats from Brandvlei Dam need marine vinyl. Workshops are small and often family run, and fabric often comes from Cape Town.
The requests we see from Worcester usually come from:
- Car, bakkie and taxi owners: automotive leather and vinyl for car, bakkie and taxi seats and door cards
- Homeowners and tenants: leather hides for a Chesterfield or recliner, or faux leather for dining chair seats
- Upholsterers, makers, designers and DIYers: upholsterers and motor trimmers buying hides, vinyl rolls and matched batches
Local tips for Worcester
Upholsterers serving Worcester mostly work from here: small workshops in town and home workshops in Zwelethemba and Avian Park. The jobs that come up most: farm bakkie and tractor seats, lounge suites, school and church chairs. When you ask for quotes, ask for UV-stable fabric or vinyl that copes with the valley's summer heat.
Around Worcester the largest group asking is car, bakkie and taxi owners, which usually means automotive leather and vinyl for car, bakkie and taxi seats and door cards. Before you agree to anything: match colour from a swatch in daylight. Collection here: fabric and foam often from Cape Town over the N1; bakkie collection locally.
