Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is reupholstery worth it?

Absolutely — if your furniture has a solid frame, reupholstery is often far better value than buying new. You’ll keep the quality craftsmanship of your original piece while updating the design and fabric to suit your home. It’s also a more sustainable choice, reducing waste and extending your furniture’s life.

2. How long does reupholstery take?

Most projects take between 4 and 6 weeks from collection to delivery, depending on the size and complexity of your furniture. Your local consultant will give you an estimated timeframe during your free home visit.

3. How do I care for my reupholstered furniture?

Caring for reupholstered furniture is easy. We recommend regular vacuuming with a soft brush attachment and prompt cleaning of any spills. Avoid placing your furniture in direct sunlight to prevent fading, and rotate cushions occasionally for even wear. During your consultation, our expert will provide fabric-specific care tips to keep your new upholstery looking its best.

4. Can I choose my own fabric?

Of course! Your consultant will bring hundreds of fabric samples to your home, including a wide range of colours, patterns, and textures. Whether you prefer traditional designs or modern styles, we’ll help you find the perfect match for your space.

5. Do you provide a guarantee on reupholstery work?

Yes — all our reupholstery work is fully guaranteed for your peace of mind. We take pride in every piece we restore, and our guarantee covers both workmanship and materials, ensuring your furniture continues to look and feel its best long after it’s delivered.
