Sofa Reupholstery

Recover the sofa you already know — seats, arms and all

Sofas

A sofa fails in predictable places: arms go shiny, seats collapse, seams split, and the cloth no longer matches the room. Reupholstery strips the old covering so we can see webbing, springs, foam and timber, then rebuilds the comfort before new fabric goes on.

You keep the length and shape that already fits your wall, and choose a fabric for everyday sitting. It is slower than buying new, but the result is usually better made.

A clear path from first pictures to workshop finish — so you always know what happens next.

  1. Photograph it

    Front, side, and close-ups of worn arms and seat collapse.

    Covering off, comfort rebuilt, new covers sewn in the workshop.

  4. Fit and return

    Tension, alignment and fill checked before it comes home.

Quick answers

Questions people actually ask.

Sometimes, if the frame covering is still sound. A full recover is cleaner if everything has faded together.
Yes. We recover the existing frame. The outline stays; comfort and fabric change.
