Furniture repair & reupholstery

Furniture repair and reupholstery in Pakistan

Updated 4 November 2026

In Pakistan a sofa foam change usually costs about Rs 3,000 to 6,000 per seat, and full reupholstery about Rs 4,000 to 9,000 per seat, while frame repair starts around Rs 2,000. Prices depend on the fabric, the size of the piece and the city, so the quickest way to current quotes is to describe the item as a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Rules, licences and what to check

A Sindh government trade licence rate list includes fees for furniture polishing and allied services, starting at Rs 300 a year, so a workshop that polishes or sells furniture as a business may need a trade licence. Before you pay, ask whether the price covers fabric, foam and labour, and whether the seller stands behind the work. The quote should also say who buys the fabric.

Season and the hot months

Pakistan's summer is very hot from May to September, and the winter is mild from November to March. The cooler months are the easiest time to move heavy pieces and to let foam and fabric dry indoors. In summer, keep freshly upholstered pieces in a ventilated room and out of direct sun while the glue and foam set.

How the work is priced and delivered

Upholstery is quoted per seat or per piece rather than per metre, so count the seats and give the size of each piece. Some sellers offer home service in Lahore, Islamabad and Rawalpindi, while others take the piece to a workshop. Ask which applies, whether transport costs extra, and how long the work takes.

What to put in your request

Name the furniture item, the work needed (foam, fabric, frame, wood polish or a full reupholstery), the number of pieces and their dimensions, and the fabric you want. Say whether you prefer a home visit or a workshop, your city, your deadline and your budget. A photo of the worn area helps sellers quote without a visit.

On BlaBlaPrice, describe the piece in your own words in a chat, and add photos if you have them. The AI asks for missing details, looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Pakistan, and shows the prices and businesses it found. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice receive the request and reply in the chat with their price, terms and delivery, while your contacts stay hidden.
