Upholstery Repair, Upholstery Recovery and Reupholstery

 

People often use the terms “upholstery repair”, “upholstery recovery” and “reupholstery” interchangeably. But they are actually different processes.

 

Upholstery repair is performed when the support mechanisms are intact and the customer wishes to save the existing upholstery. The upholsterer repairs minor cuts in the upholstery, removes stains and performs other remedial work to restore (as much as possible) the original vibrance of the fabric. 

 

Upholstery recovery means simply removing the existing exterior fabric and replacing it with a brand new one. This may be done because the existing fabric is torn and frayed, or the customer may simply want to go in a different direction aesthetically.

 

Reupholstery is a labour-intensive process that typically involves replacing all aspects of the upholstery, right down to the frame. Indeed, repairs may need to be performed on the frame as well to bolster its integrity before applying the new upholstery.

Jerome’s service is excellent. My company needed 3 items reupholstered and Jerome provided a quote with plenty of relevant fabric choices.
He collected each item individually and quickly returned each, keeping us up to date on the process.
Jerome’s customer service and punctual turn around of the items was great.
Well recommended.

John, Tunbridge Wells

We had four porter-style antique armchairs, a sofa and a chaise-longue extensively repaired and re-upholstered by Jerome. His work was meticulously professional, completed to a very high standard and delivered on time and to budget. His artistic judgement is thoughtful, helpful but never intrusive. This was a complicated and expensive job which he excelled in. We are already repeat customers.
