Reupholstery & repairs in Cape Town
We reupholster and repair sofas, couches, armchairs and dining chairs, build custom headboards, and restore antiques — for homes and businesses across Cape Town and the Western Cape.
From a simple repair to a full custom build
Whatever your furniture needs, our master upholsterers bring it back to its best — or build it new from the frame up.
Reupholstery
We strip your furniture back to the frame, repair or rebuild the foundation, and re-cover it in the fabric or leather of your choice. Your favourite lounge suite returns looking better than new — and built to last another generation.
- Sofas, couches & full lounge suites
- Armchairs, wingbacks & occasional chairs
- Dining & carver chairs
- Ottomans, benches & footstools
Upholstery Repair
Not everything needs a full re-cover. Our repair service tackles rips and tears, sagging or collapsed seats, broken springs and frames, and flattened foam — extending the life of pieces you love at a fraction of replacement cost.
- Seam, rip & tear repairs
- Sagging seat & cushion rebuilds
- Spring re-tying & frame repair
- Foam & fibre replacement
Headboards & Beds
Custom-made upholstered headboards and bed bases in any size, shape or fabric — from clean contemporary panels to deep diamond-buttoned statement pieces that anchor the room.
- Made-to-measure headboards
- Diamond & deep buttoning
- Upholstered bed bases & ottomans
- Matching scatter cushions
Loose Covers & Slipcovers
Precision-fitted removable covers that let you refresh a room, protect against wear, and launder with ease — a practical, cost-effective alternative to a full re-cover.
- Tailored, snug-fit covers
- Washable & swappable
- Sofas, chairs & dining seats
- Seasonal fabric options
Antique & Heritage Restoration
Cape Dutch heirlooms, Victorian chairs and mid-century classics deserve traditional hands. We restore antiques using period-correct methods — hand-tied springs, hessian, coir and traditional stitching — preserving provenance while renewing comfort.
- Hand-tied coil-spring foundations
- Traditional stuffing & stitched edges
- Frame & timber restoration
- Insurance assessments & quotes
Outdoor & Patio
Sun, salt air and southeasters are hard on outdoor furniture. We rebuild patio and poolside pieces with UV-stable, water-resistant fabrics and quick-dry reticulated foam that shrug off the elements.
- UV & water-resistant fabrics
- Quick-dry reticulated foam
- Patio, poolside & boat seating
- Custom outdoor scatter cushions

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before you book. Still unsure? We’re a call away.
Yes. We provide free, no-obligation quotes across Cape Town and the Western Cape. Send us photos and dimensions for a quick estimate, or book an in-home assessment and we’ll come to you.
Cost depends on the size and construction of the piece and the fabric you choose. After a quick assessment we give you a clear written quote with no surprises. A repair is often far cheaper than a full re-cover, and we will tell you honestly which one your piece needs.
If the frame is solid, reupholstering is usually cheaper than replacing a comparable couch — and you keep the size, shape and comfort you already know. Older furniture is often built better than new budget furniture, so it is worth restoring. If the frame is beyond saving we will tell you rather than sell you work you do not need.
Absolutely. You’re welcome to supply your own fabric, or choose from our curated library of premium upholstery fabrics and leathers. We’ll advise on durability and suitability for how the piece will be used.
Most residential pieces are completed within 1–3 weeks depending on complexity, fabric availability and current workload. We confirm a realistic timeline with your quote.
