What the price depends on

  • the size of the piece, and whether you need the seat only or the full chair
  • the fabric you choose, which changes the price of a set of chairs by a wide margin (NZ$480–2,400 for six)
  • the extent of the repairs: frame, springs and foam

Ask for a free, fixed quote before any work starts, and check whether it covers fabric, foam and delivery.

Qualifications and licences

Not all upholstery work needs a trade licence, but qualified upholsterers complete an apprenticeship and hold the New Zealand Certificate in Furniture – Upholstery (Level 4). Ask whether the person working on your sofa holds it, especially for structural repair. Some workshops also offer free consultations for private customers, so ask before you book.

Seasons and getting the piece to the workshop

Summer runs from December to February and winter from June to August. In winter, wrap a sofa well for transport in rain and cold, and keep it indoors until pick-up. Say in your request whether the work is done at home or in a workshop, since the two change both the price and the timing.

What to write in your request

Name the furniture item and the work needed, such as new fabric, springs or a frame repair. Give the quantity and dimensions in centimetres, say whether you will supply the fabric, and add your city, deadline and budget. A photo of the piece shows the damage faster than a description.

Describe your piece in your own words in a BlaBlaPrice chat and add a photo if you have one. The service is free for buyers. The AI asks for missing details, looks through sellers' websites and price lists in New Zealand, and shows the prices and businesses it finds. Registered sellers reply in the chat with their own offer, price and terms, while your contact details stay hidden until you decide. Create a request or see how BlaBlaPrice works.
