Furniture repair and reupholstery in Malaysia

Updated 4 November 2026

Furniture repair and reupholstery in Malaysia costs from about RM 200 for an average sofa repair, up to RM 1,000 in Petaling Jaya, and RM 700 to RM 1,000 for a two-seater sofa in PVC leather or fabric in one published price list. The final price depends on the damage, the fabric and the frame. To see current prices for your piece, describe it in a request on BlaBlaPrice.

What changes the price

A loose spring or a torn seam is a different job from covering the whole frame. Tell the seller the furniture item, the work needed and the fabric or leather you want. The lists we saw show one price for PVC leather or fabric on a two-seater, so ask whether your choice of fabric changes the total. Quantity matters too: a single chair from a set is quoted separately from the whole suite.

Rules, warranty and quotes

The sources we checked did not name a licence for furniture repair, so ask for proof of the work and a written quote instead. Some sellers advertise a six-month warranty on their work and promise a quote within 48 hours of receiving the piece. Ask whether the warranty covers the fabric and the stitching, and whether the quote is free if you decide not to go ahead.

Season and weather in this climate

Malaysia has no winter or summer, so furniture work is available all year and there is no seasonal low for sellers. The wet and dry seasons matter in one practical way: a sofa carried to a workshop or moved in heavy rain can get wet. Ask how the piece is covered on the way, and mention if it has been damp, because mould is hard to remove once the fabric has dried.

How it is bought here

Prices are in ringgit (RM), and several sellers quote only after they have seen the item. Some listings show a workshop address, so ask whether collection and return delivery are included, and whether the job is done at home or in the workshop. Listings cover Petaling Jaya, the Klang Valley and Penang, so give your city: Kuala Lumpur, George Town, Johor Bahru, Ipoh or Shah Alam.

On BlaBlaPrice, write what the furniture is, what needs doing, and whether the work should happen at home or in a workshop. Add a photo of the damage, the size and your budget. BlaBlaPrice's AI asks for anything missing and searches sellers' websites and price lists in Malaysia, then shows the prices and businesses it found. Registered sellers reply in the chat with their own offer, and your contacts stay hidden until you choose. For related services, see Household services and Tailoring & clothing repair.
