Campervan upholstery, retrimmed by hand

VW Transporter seat retrims, rock and roll beds and full campervan interiors, manufactured in our Wirral workshop and fitted nationwide.

Your campervan is part daily driver, part living room, and the upholstery takes more punishment than either. Ultimate Trim specialises in campervan upholstery: full seat retrims, rock and roll bed cushions, captain seat conversions and comfort upgrades, all cut and sewn by hand in our Wirral workshop under lead trimmer Craig, who has 15 years' experience in vehicle trimming. Whether you want a hard-wearing leatherette interior for weekend surf trips or a full leather cab that matches a professional conversion, we manufacture everything bespoke to your van.

Vans we work on

VW Transporter T5, T6 & T6.1

The heart of what we do. A VW T6 seat retrim (cab seats, kombi rears or the full interior) transforms the most-used part of the van. We handle single and double passenger seats, armrests, headrests and rear benches. See our dedicated pages for the VW T5, VW T6 and VW T6.1.

VW Caddy

Micro-campers deserve the same finish. We retrim Caddy front seats and rear conversions to match, in any of our leather, leatherette or fabric options. Read more about our VW Caddy upholstery.

Crafter & Sprinter

Larger van conversions built on the VW Crafter and Mercedes Sprinter platforms: cab seats, captain seats and living-area seating trimmed as one coherent interior. See our Sprinter & Crafter page.

Motorhome cab seats

Coachbuilt and A-class motorhome cab seats retrimmed to refresh worn originals or to match a new habitation-area scheme. See our motorhome cab seat page.

Rock and roll bed upholstery

The rock and roll bed is the centrepiece of most campervan conversions, and the first thing to look tired. We upholster rock and roll bed cushions and frames to match your cab seats exactly: same material, same colours, same stitch pattern and piping, so the bed looks like it left the factory with the rest of the van. If your foam has softened over years of doubling as a sofa, we can rebuild the cushions with fresh foam at the same time, so the bed sits and sleeps properly again.

Captain seat conversions and comfort upgrades

Many owners upgrade to swivelling captain seats with armrests for a more comfortable cab and a usable living space when parked up. We trim captain seats (new or donor) to match the rest of your interior, so an upgraded seat doesn't look like an afterthought.

While the covers are off is also the right time for the upgrades you can't see:

  • Sports-foam upgrades: replace tired, collapsed bases and add bolster support and firmness, a big difference on high-mileage Transporter seats.
  • Heated seat pads: fitted invisibly beneath the new covers with a discreet switch, turning a cold early-morning cab into somewhere you actually want to sit. See our dedicated heated seats page.

Both are add-ons to any retrim, on any of our material options.

Choosing your material

There's no single right answer: it depends on how you use the van. Leatherette is the campervan favourite: it wipes clean after beaches, bikes and dogs, resists spills, and modern automotive leatherettes are hard to tell from hide. Genuine leather brings a premium feel that wears in beautifully and suits vans that are also everyday vehicles. Fabric (including OEM-style cloths) offers a warmer feel and is the natural choice if you want to restore or extend a factory look. We'll talk you through samples before anything is cut, and mixing materials (leatherette wear faces with fabric centres, say) is common. For a fuller comparison of each option, see the materials we work with.

Made in the Wirral, fitted nationwide

Every cover is patterned, cut and sewn in our workshop at Unit 6 Carrock Road, Wirral. You can bring the van to us. Or, because campervans are often mid-conversion or awkward to move, we offer nationwide onsite fitting: we come to your home, storage yard or converter's premises and fit the finished trim there. Call 0151 559 2515 or email [email protected] to talk through your van, or use the quote form below and Craig will come back to you with options.

How a campervan retrim works

  1. 1

    Tell us about your van

    Send a few photos of your seats, bed and cab, and tell us what you have in mind: full retrim, front seats only, or a rock and roll bed to match.

  2. 2

    Choose materials and design

    Pick leather, leatherette or fabric, then colours, stitching, piping and embroidery with Craig's guidance. Add heated pads or sports foam at this stage.

  3. 3

    Manufacture and fitting

    Everything is cut and sewn in our Wirral workshop, then fitted at our unit or on site: we offer nationwide onsite fitting.

Leather, leatherette or fabric?

Every campervan interior is bespoke. These are the three routes most customers choose between, and we're happy to mix them (for example, leatherette wear faces with fabric bolsters).

Leatherette

Quoted per job

The most popular choice for campervans: wipes clean after sandy feet and wet dogs, shrugs off spills, and is hard to tell from real hide once fitted.

  • Easy to clean and highly durable
  • Wide colour range with contrast stitching options

Genuine leather

Quoted per job

Real automotive hide for a premium cab and living space that wears in rather than out: the choice for vans that double as everyday vehicles.

  • Automotive-grade hides
  • Perforated sections available for heated seat pads

Fabric

Quoted per job

Hard-wearing automotive cloth, including OEM-style options to match or restore a factory look on Transporter, Caddy and Crafter seats.

  • OEM-match and heritage-style cloths
  • Warmer feel for year-round touring

Campervan upholstery FAQs

Can you retrim VW T5, T6 and T6.1 seats?

Yes. We work on T5, T6 and T6.1 cab seats, kombi rear seats and rear benches, as well as Caddy, Crafter, Mercedes Sprinter and motorhome cab seats.

Do you upholster rock and roll beds?

Yes. We upholster rock and roll bed frames and cushions to match your cab seats, in leather, leatherette or fabric, with matching stitching and piping so the whole interior looks factory-finished.

Do I need to bring the van to you, or can you fit on site?

Either. You're welcome to visit our workshop at Unit 6 Carrock Road, Wirral, CH62 3RA, or we offer nationwide onsite fitting: we come to your home, storage site or converter's workshop.

Can you add heated seats to a campervan?

Yes. Heated seat pads can be fitted beneath the new covers as part of a retrim, so there are no visible changes beyond a discreet switch. It's one of our most popular add-ons for year-round campers.

What is a captain seat conversion?

Swivelling, armrest-equipped single seats in place of a standard cab bench or base seats. We trim captain seats to match the rest of your interior so upgraded seating blends in with the original van.

Can you replace or upgrade the seat foam?

Yes. Tired, collapsed bases can be rebuilt, and we offer sports-foam upgrades that add bolster support and firmness, worth doing while the covers are off, especially on higher-mileage Transporters.

How long does a campervan retrim take?

It depends on the scope: front seats only is quicker than a full interior with a rock and roll bed. Contact us on 0151 559 2515 for current lead times.

Will a retrim match my van's original interior?

If you want it to, yes: we can source OEM-style fabrics and colour-match leathers and leatherettes so new panels, captain seats or a rock and roll bed sit seamlessly alongside original trim.
