About this service

Repairing and restoring furniture is an intelligent and sustainable alternative to buying new pieces. A sofa with worn upholstery, a table with a scratched top, a wardrobe with a broken hinge, or a chair with weakened legs can all be brought back to life by a skilled craftsman, at a fraction of the replacement cost. On SmallJobs you'll find carpenters, upholsterers, and craftsmen specializing in repairing domestic and commercial furniture. They can refinish scratched or damaged surfaces, renew sofa and armchair upholstery, repair wooden structures, replace hinges or drawer runners, and refinish or re-lacquer old furniture.

What to check before hiring a furniture repairs

Photograph the furniture from multiple angles before contacting the craftsman — it helps them estimate the cost correctly.
Restoring old solid wood furniture is usually a good investment, as the material quality is superior.
When choosing upholstery material, think about durability (especially if you have children or pets) and ease of cleaning.
Ask the craftsman if they can add new elements (buttons, new legs, decorative inserts) for a modernized look.
Treat wood surfaces with protective lacquer or wax after restoration to extend their lifespan.
Avoid exposing restored furniture to direct sunlight or excessive humidity.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I clean the furniture before restoration?

Usually the craftsman handles surface cleaning as part of the restoration process. You can remove items from the furniture and do light preliminary cleaning.

Can I bring multiple pieces of furniture for restoration at once?

Yes, and usually the craftsman offers a better price for a larger volume. Discuss a package before bringing the furniture.

Is there a warranty for upholstery or restoration work?

Reputable craftsmen offer a warranty for labor. Specify the warranty when concluding the agreement.

How much does transporting furniture to the workshop cost?

Transport can be done with a cargo vehicle. The cost varies by distance and volume — ask the craftsman if they also offer a pickup service from your home.

Is it worth repairing old furniture or better to replace it?

Solid wood furniture is almost always worth restoring — it's more durable than modern particleboard furniture and restoration can make it look excellent. Cheap old particleboard furniture may not be worth the repair cost.

Can the craftsman come to my home or do I need to take the furniture to the workshop?

It depends on the type of work. Small repairs (hinges, legs) can be done at the client's home. Reupholstering or complex restoration usually requires transport to the workshop.
