Sofa Reupholstery Services
Why buy a brand-new sofa when your existing one has great bones?
At A1 Caravan Upholstery, we specialise in breathing new life into tired, sagging, or dated sofas. While we’re known for our caravan and motorhome expertise, the same precision stitching, high-density foam, and durable fabrics make us the perfect choice for sofa reupholstery in your home.
Whether it’s a family heirloom, a favourite corner sofa, or a leather couch that’s seen better days, we can transform it.
Our Sofa Upholstery Services
We cover all types of sofas, from two-seaters to large corner units.
Sofa Reupholstery
Complete strip-back and rebuild of your sofa frame. We replace old foam, webbing, springs, and fabric, making your sofa look and feel brand new.
Couch Upholstery
From classic chesterfields to modern fabric couches. We work with cotton, linen, velvet, and hardwearing synthetic fabrics.
Corner Sofa Reupholstery
Large, awkward, and often expensive to replace. Corner sofas are our speciality. We handle modular sections, chaise ends, and tricky angles with precision.
Sofa Cushion Replacement
Don't need a full reupholstery? We can simply replace sagging seat cushions with high-density or memory foam and fit new zip-on covers.
Why Reupholster Instead of Buying New?
| Buy New Sofa | Reupholster with A1 |
|---|---|
| £500 – £3000+ | 40-60% less on average |
| 8-16 weeks delivery | 2-4 weeks turnaround |
| Landfill waste | Eco-friendly choice |
| Lose a favourite style | Keep the shape you love |
| Unknown frame quality | We inspect and strengthen your frame |
“A good sofa frame can last 50 years. The fabric and foam rarely last 10. Reupholstery makes financial and environmental sense.”

Fabrics We Use for Sofa Upholstery
We source high-quality, durable fabrics suitable for everyday home use:
- Chenille – Soft, warm, and family-friendly
- Velvet – Luxurious and on-trend
- Linen – Breathable and natural
- Leather & leatherette – Easy-clean and durable
- Performance fabrics – Stain-resistant, waterproof, pet-claw resistant
- Bouclé – Modern textured loop fabric
We also offer Scotchgard protection as an optional extra.
Corner Sofa Reupholstery – Our Speciality
Corner sofas are expensive to replace (often £1000+). They also suffer the most wear – people tend to sit in the same corner seat, causing foam collapse and fabric pilling.
We solve this by:
- Replacing foam in each section individually
- Strengthening joining mechanisms between modules
- Pattern-matching fabric across the corner seam for a seamless look
- Offering zip-off covers for easy cleaning
“A corner sofa reupholstery typically costs half the price of a new like-for-like corner sofa – and ours will last longer.”
Couch Upholstery vs Sofa Upholstery – Is There a Difference?
In short, no. “Couch” and “sofa” are used interchangeably in the UK. We use the terms to help you find us, but the service is identical:
✔️ Full strip and rebuild
✔️ Cushion replacement
✔️ Fabric fitting
✔️ Spring and webbing repair
So whether you search for couch upholstery or sofa reupholstery, you’ve come to the right place.
Frequently Asked Questions – Sofa Reupholstery
How long does sofa reupholstery take?
Typically 2 to 4 weeks from collection to delivery, depending on fabric availability and workload.
Do you collect and deliver?
Yes. We offer a collection and delivery service across the UK for an additional fee. You can also drop off and collect from our workshop.
Can you match my existing fabric?
We can try to source identical fabric from mills. Alternatively, we can help you choose a complementary fabric and reupholster just one section (e.g., replacing a damaged chaise end).
What if my sofa frame is broken?
We assess each frame before work begins. Minor repairs are included. Major frame rebuilding is quoted separately – but often still cheaper than a new sofa.
Do you do leather sofa repair?
Yes – minor leather crack repair, recolouring, and full reupholstery in leather or leatherette.
Is it cheaper to reupholster or buy new?
Almost always cheaper to reupholster, especially for corner sofas and quality-brand sofas (e.g., G Plan, Parker Knoll, DFS higher ranges).
