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.

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.

Whole sofa, one arm close-up, and the seat from the side.
