Sofa reupholstery in Tbilisi
Fabric worn out, faded, or scratched by your cat? We reupholster sofas at your home — help you choose the right fabric, replace the padding, and restore the frame if needed. A technician arrives within 1–3 hours. We take requests 24/7 via WhatsApp and Telegram.
Sofa reupholstery vs. buying new — which one actually saves you money?
We break down the real numbers and help you figure out when reupholstery pays off — and when it doesn't.
When reupholstery makes more financial sense
A mid-range sofa in Tbilisi costs 1,500–3,000 GEL. Full reupholstery — fabric and labor included — runs 400–900 GEL, which means you save 60–70% while keeping the same comfort and dimensions you're used to.
- The frame and fold-out mechanism are still intact
- You love the sofa — unusual shape, custom size, hard to replace
- You want a new fabric or color to match a refreshed interior
- A pet scratched it or the stains won't come out
- The cushions have gone flat and need new padding
How long will It last after reupholstery?
With new fabric and fresh padding, your sofa can last another 7–10 years
under normal use. We use upholstery fabrics rated at 25,000+ rub cycles —
that's 2–3 times more durable than the materials typically found in budget store sofas.
All work comes with a 6-month workmanship guarantee.
When you're better off buying a new sofa
Sometimes replacement is the smarter call. Consider buying new if:
- The frame of a budget particleboard sofa has crumbled
- The fold-out mechanism can't be repaired
- The sofa is 15–20+ years old and has been repaired multiple times
- The repair cost exceeds 60–70% of what a new sofa would cost

Three benefits most people don't think about
It's yours, not the showroom's. You pick the fabric, color, and texture yourself —
flock, chenille, faux leather, velvet, jacquard. That kind of selection simply doesn't exist in stores.
No delivery headaches. Our technician comes to you anywhere in Tbilisi.
No need to haul the sofa out, find a van, or wait weeks for a delivery slot.
Better for the environment. Reupholstering extends the life of your furniture
and keeps it out of the landfill — a simple way to reduce waste without sacrificing comfort.

Best fabrics for sofa reupholstery
50+ options for every style and budget. We'll help you find the right material for your interior and lifestyle.
Flock (Heavy-duty / Pet-friendly)
The go-to choice for households with cats and dogs. The short, dense pile means claws tend to slide rather than snag — making it one of the most scratch-resistant upholstery fabrics available.
- Best for: pet owners, families with young children
- Durability: 25,000+ Martindale rub cycles (premium grades reach 40,000+)
- Care: wipes clean with a damp cloth; treated versions resist odour absorption
Linen-weave (Textured poly)
A coarse open weave with a natural linen look. Usually made from polyester, which keeps the price accessible while delivering decent everyday durability.
- Best for: modern and minimalist interiors, rental apartments
- Durability: holds its shape well in higher-density weaves
- Note: budget grades can stretch over time — look for 300 g/m² or above
Tapestry (Jacquard weave)
A dense, patterned fabric with centuries of history. Virtually non-stretch and highly resistant to fading in indirect light.
- Best for: classic, ethnic, and eclectic interiors; antique sofa restoration
- Durability: high density means less deformation under regular use
- Note: like all textiles, prolonged direct sunlight will cause gradual fading
Alcantara (Microsuede)
High-grade microfibre with a soft, velvety surface. Used in automotive interiors and premium home finishes — real-world durability to match the look.
- Best for: premium sofas, executive offices, statement furniture pieces
- Durability: holds its appearance significantly longer than standard fabrics with proper care
- Note: many products sold under this name vary widely in quality — always check the composition
Faux leather (PU / Vegan Leather)
A practical, hygienic surface that's a breeze to clean. Spill coffee on it — wipe it off. A strong choice for offices and kitchens.
- Best for: offices, kitchens, hallways, medical and commercial spaces
- Care: surface cleans with a damp cloth; doesn't absorb liquids quickly
- Note: quality PU lasts 7–10 years; budget grades crack within 2–3 — the difference shows in the price
Genuine leather
With proper care, it lasts 20–30 years. Breathes better than faux leather or PVC. Develops a rich patina over time that only improves with age.
- Best for: high-end office chairs, antique furniture, statement pieces
- Comfort: adapts to body temperature, no static build-up
- Note: needs periodic conditioning — in dry conditions without moisturising, it will crack

Frequently asked questions about sofa reupholstery
Sofa reupholstery in Tbilisi starts from 300 GEL for partial work. The final price depends on the sofa type, shape complexity, and fabric choice. Send us a photo on WhatsApp or Telegram at +995558492464 — we'll give you a preliminary quote within 30 minutes, free of charge.
On average, 1–2 weeks. The process has three stages:
- Stripping the old fabric — 1 day, done at your home
- Cutting and sewing new covers — 1 to 7 days depending on shape complexity
- Fitting the new upholstery — 1 day, done at your home
We'll confirm the exact timeline when you book.
Technically yes — partial reupholstery is possible. There's one catch though: finding a fabric that exactly matches the colour and texture of your existing upholstery is extremely difficult. We'll be upfront about this when you send us a photo.
The top choice is microsuede (Alcantara): its short, dense pile resists claws far better than most fabrics. A strong alternative is flock (heavy-duty fabric) — claws tend to slide off the surface rather than catch. Both are easy to wipe clean and hold up well under daily pet use.
It depends on the sofa's condition and your budget. Reupholstery makes sense when the frame and padding are still solid — in that case you essentially get a new sofa for 30–50% of the replacement cost. If the frame has cracked, the springs have gone, or the sofa is very old and has been repaired multiple times, buying new may be the smarter call. We'll give you an honest assessment after looking at the photos.
No. Our technician comes to you: strips the old fabric on-site and takes measurements. The new covers are sewn in our workshop, then the technician returns to fit them. Your sofa never leaves your home.
With careful use, quality upholstery lasts 7–10 years. That timeline shortens with pets, young children, or heavy daily use. Signs it's time to reupholster: fabric is visibly worn, torn, pilling, or has faded significantly.
Yes. Once the old fabric is stripped, we inspect the padding. If the foam has flattened or lost its spring, we replace it as part of the same job — no need to book a separate visit.
We provide a 6-month workmanship guarantee. This covers defects in the upholstery work itself — seams, fitting, and fabric attachment. It does not cover mechanical damage or deliberate wear such as claw marks or cuts.
In many cases, yes. We assess the frame during the stripping stage and can reinforce or repair it with plywood or welding before fitting the new fabric. If the damage is too extensive to restore cost-effectively, we'll tell you honestly rather than take on a job that won't last.
