As per the title, I've tried a little search but all the threads seem very old so thought it was worth a fresh one.

I'm looking to get the seats in my C5 Corvette retrimmed, the alternative of buying the skins from the US then shipping and potentially making a hash of it myself I think will be the same cost as just getting a professional to do them from scratch. Looking for any recommendations of companies you've used in the past either around Kent/Essex or South East London.

Thanks!

I used this company to retrim an MGB interior a few years ago. Very happy with the results. They are based in Paddock Wood.

Thanks for that, what was the cost roughly if you don't mind me asking?

Second recommendation for him, I've seen some pics of some Vette seats he did actually so know the quality of the work. Thanks for that!

It was a while ago but I seem to recall it being approx £2.5k

I used M&K Auto Upholstery in Aylesford to retrim the headliner on my DB9 - http://mk-autoupholstery.com/ They did a good job, and had some very nice-looking other work on the go when I went there, that was 12-18 months ago from memory.
