Replacing Tolex on amp cabinet?

Ninjavampire

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone has experience with retolexing an amp? I have 2 combos that I have bought second hand and they could do with a new covering. I wouldn't be comfortable to do this myself and was hoping someone could point me in the direction of someone who could?

I imagine sending the amps overseas would be really expensive so someone who could do this somewhere in Ireland would be great. I can even order the material myself so it would just be the application of the tolex.

Thanks in advance guys.

Its not exactly rocket science
A cordless drill & heavy duty staple gun should do it
Remove the speaker, unscrew the grille & remove old tolex
once the tolex is pulled tight then staple
Ive built a few cabs over the years with no bothers !

Edit ; Read your post wrong had replacing the grille cloth stuck in my head for some reason
theres a bit more to it than that
sorry !

I'd be worried about the corners and maybe air bubbles? From what I've read, taking the tolex off isn't that easy because of the glue used to put it there in the first place.
