you can buy fabric repair kits for seats, never used them though. Things like that tend never to be the same as they were, but the kits aren't that expensive so worth a try to cover the worst of it.

i know you can get specialists who mix different coloured fibres together until it colour matches near enough exact to the colour of the fabric and then mix a little resin in with it and you can hardly tell it has had work done

Google it Steve, try "smart fabric repairs" or something.
It can be done, you can hardly tell with most seats either.

My ex girlfriend had her back seat repaired by chips away as it had a fag burn in it. Whatever material it was they repaired it with soon came back out again so wouldn't recommend them

Halfords do it Steve, in their Smart Repair service carried out by a trained technician from 'Shine'.
Not sure on a price, just call into your local store and ask them - a technician calls at most stores fortnightly (ish).
