UPHOLSTERY AND REUPHOLSTERY SERVICES IN DUBAI

Most people looking for upholstery services Dubai-wide have already been quoted by someone who sends the work out. We are an upholstery company in Dubai with our own cutting table, sewing machines and spray booth, so the upholsterers in Dubai who strip your sofa are the same people who re-web the frame, cut the covers and hand it back.

A free quotation starts with photographs on WhatsApp. Send the piece from the front, the side and the back, tell us the fabric you have in mind, and we come back with a written price before anyone sets foot in your home. If a frame is not worth recovering we say so rather than quoting for it.

Free pick-up and delivery covers Dubai Marina, Downtown, JVC, Dubai Hills, Arabian Ranches, Damac Hills, Springs, Meadows, Jumeirah and Mirdif. Fixed pieces — upholstered wall panels, wall-mounted headboards, built-in banquettes and majlis seating — are done as on-site upholstery instead. Workshop turnaround time is three to seven working days on a standard piece.

Sofa work is the busiest part of our upholstery services in Dubai. Sofa reupholstery, a sofa fabric change, sofa recovering and a full sofa makeover all describe the same job at different depths: the deeper you go, the longer it lasts. A straight fabric change keeps the existing foam; a full reupholstery strips back to the frame, and that is the one that makes an eight-year-old sofa feel new.

Sofa repair covers the things that go wrong before the fabric does. Sagging sofa repair is usually failed webbing rather than tired foam. Sofa foam replacement and sofa cushion refilling bring back the seat height. Sofa frame repair means re-gluing and dowelling joints that have worked loose. L-shaped sofa reupholstery and sectional sofa work is priced per module, and recliner repair depends on whether the mechanism or just the cover has failed.

Leather sofa repair is its own trade. Leather reupholstery in new hide is the full answer; leather restoration re-pigments and re-finishes what is there; a leather colour change is possible on pigmented leather but not on aniline. We tell you which of the three your sofa can take before quoting.

Chairs are the fastest turnaround among our upholstery services in Dubai. Dining chair upholstery is the quickest win in any dining room. A chair seat replacement on a drop-in pad takes minutes per chair in the workshop; a fully upholstered chair with a wrapped back and piping takes considerably longer, which is why the two are priced separately. Sets of six or eight are quoted as a set rather than per chair.

Armchair reupholstery and accent chair work is where fabric choice matters most, because a single chair can carry a bolder velvet or bouclé than a whole sofa. Office chair upholstery is a different job again: the shell and mechanism stay, the foam and cover are replaced, and for a fit-out we price it per chair with volume rates.

Headboard upholstery is the single change that makes a bedroom look designed. A custom headboard is built to your wall width rather than the bed width, which is what makes it read as architecture instead of furniture. A tufted headboard with deep buttoning needs a thicker foam build-up so the buttons pull without flattening the panel, and an upholstered bed frame ties the base into the same fabric.

Bedroom pieces are a steady part of our upholstery services in Dubai. We make headboards wall-mounted on a French cleat, which keeps the bed free to move for cleaning and means the panel can go floor to ceiling if you want it to. Every headboard is built in sections above about 2.2 metres so it fits through a Dubai apartment lift and a standard door.

Custom cushions are quietly the most useful thing we make. Sofa cushions rebuilt in the right foam fix a seat that has gone soft; window seat cushions and bench cushions turn a ledge into somewhere people actually sit. We template from the timber rather than measuring the old cushion, because the old one has usually shrunk.

A terrace is the hardest test of any upholstery services in Dubai. Outdoor furniture upholstery is a materials question before anything else. Garden cushions in an indoor fabric fade in one Dubai summer, so we specify solution-dyed acrylics such as Sunbrella or another waterproof outdoor fabric, with quick-dry reticulated foam and mesh-bottomed covers so water runs straight through instead of sitting in the cushion.

Majlis seating is one of the most requested of our upholstery services in Dubai. Majlis upholstery is measured and priced by the running metre, not by the piece, because Arabic majlis seating runs continuously around the room. We build the bases in our joinery shop, foam and cover them on site where the run is fixed, and make the back cushions removable so they can be dry-cleaned. A majlis sofa in a corner needs its returns mitred properly or the whole run looks bought rather than made.

Floor seating, bolsters and floor cushions are made to the same specification as the seat units so the whole room ages at the same rate. High-density foam under a soft top layer is what stops a majlis flattening in the middle where everyone sits, and we bag the fillings so the covers can come off for cleaning without losing their shape.

Commercial upholstery lives or dies on the fabric rub count and the programme. Restaurant booth seating and banquette seating take more punishment than any domestic sofa, so we specify contract-grade fabric or vinyl, double-stitch the seams and build the bases so a damaged panel can be swapped without stripping the whole run. Bar stool upholstery and cafe chairs are priced per unit with volume rates.

Hospitality clients judge upholstery services in Dubai on turnaround as much as on price. Hotel furniture upholstery and lobby seating usually has to be done overnight, room by room or zone by zone, which we price into the quotation rather than adding later. Salon chairs, clinic chairs and beds need wipe-clean antimicrobial vinyl. For any public seating we can supply fire-retardant fabric and foam in line with Dubai Civil Defence requirements, and we say on the quotation which certificate applies.

Fabric selection is the decision that everything else follows. Velvet looks superb and shows every mark; linen breathes and creases; bouclé hides a great deal and catches on claws; leatherette and vinyl wipe clean and suit a dining chair or a clinic. A performance fabric or a stain-resistant fabric with a treated finish is what we push for any family sofa in Dubai, because the alternative is a beautiful sofa you are frightened of.

Fabric supply works either way, and it is part of our upholstery services in Dubai at no handling charge. We bring fabric samples at home so you can see them in your own light, and we supply from Dubai fabric houses and from performance ranges. You are equally welcome to bring your own fabric — tell us the piece and we will tell you the metreage before you buy it, because running short mid-job is the one mistake that cannot be fixed.

Upholstered wall panels do two things at once: they soften a hard room and they absorb sound. Fabric wall panels and padded wall panels on a plywood back with a foam and wadding build are the standard. Acoustic fabric panels use a mineral-wool core behind a stretched fabric face instead, which is what actually reduces echo in a home cinema, a studio or a meeting room.

A headboard wall is the same detail taken across the whole wall, with the panel joints set out so they land where you want them rather than where the sheet happens to end. We build in sections, hang on cleats and match the pattern across the joints, and we run any lighting or socket cut-outs before the fabric goes on.

Repairs are the smallest job we take on under our upholstery services in Dubai. Foam replacement is the cheapest upholstery repair that changes how a piece feels. High-density foam at 35 kg or more per cubic metre is what holds a seat up in a family home; memory foam belongs on a top layer, never on its own, because it takes a set. Feather cushions need a foam core wrapped in feather to keep their shape, and any feather back cushion has to be plumped or it will look tired within a week.

Smaller repairs are worth doing on their own. Seam and stitching repairs, a torn panel replaced with a matching remnant, a spring re-tied, a leg re-glued, a mechanism freed. We also treat and protect fabric on newly recovered pieces. Deep sofa cleaning and car seat upholstery are not services we offer — when someone asks, we say so and point them elsewhere rather than taking the work.

The honest test of upholstery works Dubai-wide is the before and after. A frame that was structurally sound, foam that had collapsed, a fabric that had faded on the window side — stripped, re-webbed, re-foamed and recovered, the same sofa reads as a new one at a third of replacement cost. We photograph every piece before we strip it and send both images back with the delivery.

All of our upholstery services in Dubai run through the same five stages, so you always know where your furniture is and what happens next. Most sofas and armchairs are back in the room inside two weeks.

Fabric marketing and fabric data are different things. The authorities and manufacturers below publish the rub counts, fire ratings and chemical certifications we quote against, so a specification on our quotation means something you can check.

Sofa reupholstery cost, chair upholstery cost and headboard cost are all quoted per piece rather than per hour, because the labour on a three-seat sofa is the same whether it takes us three days or five. The rates below are our own published supply-and-install ranges and include fabric at the lower-to-middle of the market; a designer velvet or full-grain hide moves the total well past the top of the band.

Upholstery services in Dubai are quoted per piece, never by the hour. Upholstery price per seat is the quickest way to sanity-check any quotation you are given in Dubai. What pushes a price above these bands: deep buttoning, piping on every seam, a pattern that has to be matched across the whole piece, a frame that needs rebuilding before it can be covered, and any fabric you supply that turns out to be short.
