Furniture repair & reupholstery

Furniture repair and reupholstery in India

Updated 31 October 2026

In India, reupholstering a 3-seater sofa in everyday fabric usually costs about ₹15,700–24,000, while a cushion replacement or a seam repair costs a few hundred rupees. Prices vary by city, fabric and frame condition, so the quickest way to current figures is a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Labour, fabric and what to check before you pay

The search results name no licence that a furniture repairer must hold, so the checks below are practical. Sellers usually quote labour apart from fabric: a 2-seater sofa's labour is listed at ₹6,500–9,000, a 3-seater at ₹8,500–12,000 and an L-shaped sofa at ₹14,000–20,000. Ask for both figures in writing and check whether the quote includes foam, cleaning and fitting.

The monsoon and the drier months

Most of India has a wet season of heavy rain and humidity, and damp air makes wooden frames swell and lets mould grow in fabric and foam. Work done after the rains lets the frame dry out before the next wet season. Ask the seller how they handle a damp frame before it is recovered.

How the work is bought and priced here

Work can be done at home or in a workshop, so say which you prefer. Costs vary by city, fabric, frame condition and workshop, so compare quotes from sellers in your own city, whether that is Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad or Chennai. Fabric is charged on top of labour, usually by the metre, so tell the seller the fabric you like and roughly how many metres it needs. For reference, a 3-seater works out at about ₹5,200–8,000 per seat in everyday fabric.

What to write in your request

Name the piece and give its size in centimetres, with the number of seats or chairs. Add the work needed (new fabric, a new frame or repair only), the fabric you prefer or whether the seller should source it, your city, the deadline and your budget. A photo of the damage helps the seller judge the frame condition before quoting.

Describe the piece in your own words in the BlaBlaPrice chat and add a photo if you have one. BlaBlaPrice's AI asks for anything missing, looks through sellers' websites and price lists in your city, and shows the prices and businesses it finds. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice reply in the chat with their own offer, price, terms and delivery, and your contacts stay hidden until you decide to share them. You can start with a request on the home page or look at household services.
