Sofa Repair & Furniture Restoration in Dubai
We assess sagging seats, broken frames, failed webbing or springs, loose joints, worn foam and damaged cushions without assuming the whole sofa needs reupholstery.
Serving Dubai and the UAE from our Ajman workshop.
Find the fault first
A creaking sofa, a seat that has dropped or a recliner that will not close are three different repairs. The piece is opened up on the bench so the fault is identified before we quote the work.
Where the covers are still serviceable we work under them, replacing broken joints, re-webbing a base or renewing springs. If a cover has torn beyond repair, that panel alone can be replaced instead of the full set.
- Loose joints are glued, screwed and blocked rather than just tightened
- Sagging seats are re-webbed or re-sprung depending on the base type
- Recliner and mechanism faults are assessed before any parts are ordered
Structural work
Frame, spring and webbing repairs
The underside or affected area is opened to find the failed part. Repair is limited to what can be made structurally sound; unsupported cosmetic promises are avoided.
- Loose joints and rails
- Broken or detached springs
- Stretched or failed webbing
Comfort work
Cushion and foam renewal
When the frame is sound but the seat has softened or changed shape, foam and cushion fill can be renewed without replacing all upholstery.
- Seat foam cut to the cushion profile
- Back filling adjusted for shape
- Covers checked before reuse
Built around the brief
Why made-to-order work is different
Fault identified on the bench
The frame or base is opened so the repair is based on what has actually failed.
Covers kept where possible
Work is carried out under existing covers if they are still sound.
Structural repairs
Broken joints, cracked rails and failed corner blocks are rebuilt, not patched.
Mechanism work
Recliner and folding mechanisms are checked and adjusted as part of the repair.
Specification
Repair materials and workshop capabilities
Frame repairs

Suspension repairs

Panel replacement
Individual cover panels replaced where the rest of the upholstery is still usable.
Choose the right scope
Sofa repair or reupholstery?
Repair keeps usable covers; reupholstery replaces them.
Repair is usually enough when
- Fabric remains in usable condition
- The fault is in the frame, suspension or one cushion
- The sofa design and colour can stay
Consider reupholstery when
- Fabric is torn, heavily worn or needs changing
- Padding has failed across most of the sofa
- Repair access would require removing most covers

Sofa Repair questions
Practical answers about measurements, materials and the quotation process.
Can a sagging sofa seat be repaired?
Usually yes. A seat that has dropped is generally a failed webbing, spring or foam problem rather than a broken frame. The base is opened up so the fault is identified, then the webbing, springs or seat foam are renewed as needed.
Can a sofa be repaired without replacing the fabric?
Often, yes. If the cover is still usable and the failed frame, webbing, spring or cushion can be accessed without damaging it, the original fabric can stay. We explain any access risk before opening the affected area.
How do you assess a sofa repair from photos?
Send one photo of the whole sofa, close views of the fault and a short video if something moves or makes noise. Photos help us narrow the cause and transport needs, although a final structural diagnosis may require opening the base in the workshop.
Does a repair cost less than re-upholstery?
A repair normally costs less than full re-upholstery because the covers stay in place. The two are quoted separately, and if the existing fabric has failed as well we will tell you what the repair alone would and would not fix.
