Furniture Reupholstery
Furniture Reupholstery Pretoria
A few months ago, a lady from Lynnwood called us in a panic. Her late mother’s armchair – the one that sat in the corner of the lounge for over 30 years – had fabric so worn you could see the foam underneath. She didn’t want to throw it away. She couldn’t. That chair meant everything to her family.
We picked it up on a Tuesday. By Friday she was crying happy tears when she saw it.
That’s what furniture reupholstery in Pretoria is really about. It’s not just about fixing old chairs. It’s about saving the things that matter to people.
At Luxman Upholstery, we’ve been doing this work right here in Pretoria for years. We serve clients across Hatfield, Menlyn, Faerie Glen, Waterkloof, Centurion, Moreleta Park, Garsfontein, Brooklyn, Sunnyside and everywhere in between. If your furniture needs new life, we’re the team Pretoria trusts.

Sofa and Couch Reupholstery Pretoria
Your sofa takes more punishment than any other piece of furniture in your home. Think about it. The kids jump on it. The dog claims one corner. Guests sit on it every weekend. After a few years, even the best fabric starts to sag, tear, or just look tired.
People in Pretoria East and Centurion ask us all the time: “Is it worth reupholstering my couch or should I just buy a new one?”
Honestly? Nine times out of ten, reupholstering is the smarter move. A brand new sofa that’s built to the same quality as your old one will cost you two, three, sometimes four times more than what we charge to reupholster it. And those old frames? They were built to last. The ones being sold today often aren’t.
At Luxman Upholstery, our sofa and couch reupholstery service in Pretoria covers everything – three-seater couches, two-seater love seats, corner units, L-shaped sofas, you name it. We strip the old fabric right down to the frame, check the springs and webbing, replace padding where needed, and fit your chosen fabric with care.
We carry fabric samples you can choose from, or you can bring your own material. Leather, velvet, linen, cotton blends, outdoor fabric – we work with all of it.
Chair Reupholstery Pretoria
Dining chairs. Office chairs. Wingback chairs. Occasional chairs. Recliners. Rocking chairs. If it’s a chair and it needs new fabric, we can fix it.
Chair reupholstery in Pretoria is one of our most popular services, specially around the Pretoria CBD and the suburbs closer to the Union Buildings area where a lot of older homes have beautiful antique and vintage chairs that just need some love.
We had a client in Waterkloof Ridge who had eight dining chairs that hadn’t been touched since the 1990s. The seats were flat, the fabric was faded and one of the chairs had a crack in the frame that we repaired before reupholstering. When we returned those chairs, the whole dining room looked brand new – without the client spending a cent on a new table or new chairs.
Even a single wingback chair can transform a room. We’ve done hundreds of them across Pretoria. Drop it off at our workshop or ask about our collection and delivery service.
Headboard Reupholstery Pretoria
A lot of people don’t think about their headboard until they redecorate the bedroom and realize the headboard doesn’t match anymore. Or the kids have drawn on it. Or the cat has scratched it to pieces.
Headboard reupholstery is one of those jobs that makes a massive difference to how a bedroom looks, and it doesn’t have to cost a fortune.
We do padded headboards, button-tufted headboards, slatted headboards with fabric inserts – all shapes, all sizes. Clients from Moreleta Park and Faerie Glen often bring us headboards when they’re redoing their master bedrooms, and the results always surprise them.
If you want that luxurious hotel bedroom look, a fresh reupholstered headboard in a quality fabric is how you get there, without paying hotel furniture prices.
Foam Replacement and Cushion Refilling Pretoria
Sometimes the fabric is actually fine. It’s the cushions that are the problem. Flat cushions. Saggy seats. Foam that’s completely collapsed after years of use.
This is way more common than people think. Furniture in Pretoria takes a beating in our hot summers – the heat and the dryness do a number on foam over time. We see it constantly.
Luxman Upholstery offers foam replacement and cushion refilling as a standalone service. You don’t have to reupholster the whole piece. If your cushion covers are still in good shape, we can just replace what’s inside.
We use high-density foam cut to the exact dimensions of your existing cushions. The difference in comfort is immediate. Clients always say it feels like they got a brand new couch.
We also offer fibre filling for scatter cushions and back cushions, and we can mix foam and fibre for that perfect balance of support and softness.
Antique and Vintage Furniture Reupholstery Pretoria
This is where things get really interesting. And also where you really need to be careful about who you trust.
Antique and vintage furniture reupholstery requires a different mindset. You have to respect the piece. The frame shapes, the old-style button tufting, the curved legs, the original proportions – everything matters. Getting it wrong means ruining something that can’t be replaced.
Pretoria has a lot of homes, specially in areas like Arcadia, Muckleneuk and around the Voortrekker Monument area, where families have kept beautiful old pieces for generations. We’ve worked on everything from Victorian-era armchairs to mid-century Danish modern sofas.
When you bring an antique piece to us, we assess the frame first. We repair any damage before we touch the fabric. We source period-appropriate materials where possible, or advise you on the best modern equivalents that honour the original look. And we photograph the piece at every stage so you have a full record of the work done.
If you have something precious, don’t trust it to just anyone. Call us first: +27 61 644 7695.
Commercial and Office Furniture Reupholstery Pretoria
Offices, restaurants, guesthouses, churches, hotels – commercial furniture takes punishment every single day. And when it starts looking worn, it affects how your business looks to clients and customers.
We work with businesses across Pretoria’s commercial areas, from Hatfield and the Menlyn Park precinct through to the government office districts near Church Square. We’ve done office waiting room chairs, reception sofas, restaurant booth seating, boardroom chairs and more.
For businesses, we understand timing matters. We try to schedule commercial jobs to cause the least disruption. We can work in phases if you can’t afford to have a whole waiting room stripped at once.
If you manage a guesthouse near the Pretoria Zoo or a restaurant in the Brooklyn Mall area, worn furniture sends the wrong message. Let’s fix that.

Outdoor and Patio Furniture Reupholstery Pretoria
Pretoria summers are something else. That heat. Those afternoon thunderstorms. The UV rays that fade everything. Outdoor furniture fabric doesn’t last forever, and when it goes, it goes fast.
We do outdoor and patio furniture reupholstery using fabrics designed specifically for outdoor use. Sunbrella fabrics and other UV-resistant, water-repellent materials that can handle what Pretoria’s weather throws at them.
Patio sets in Garsfontein, Doringkloof, and the estates around Centurion take a hammering every summer. By the time the winter rains hit, the fabric is usually done. We see a big rush for outdoor reupholstery in August and September before summer starts, but we’re happy to do it any time of year.
Pool loungers, patio chairs, outdoor sofas, umbrellas – if it’s outside and it needs new fabric, we can sort it out.
Why Pretoria Trusts Luxman Upholstery
People ask all the time: “Who’s the best furniture reupholstery service near me in Pretoria?”
We can’t answer that for you – you have to make up your own mind. What we can tell you is what our clients say about us. They say we treat their furniture like it belongs to us. They say we’re honest about what’s possible and what isn’t. They say we show up, we do the work, and we do it properly.
We’re not the biggest upholstery business in Pretoria. We’re probably not the cheapest either – though our prices are very fair for the quality of work we do. What we are is a team that genuinely cares about the craft.
Furniture reupholstery in Pretoria is what we do every day. It’s not a side business. It’s not something we do between other jobs. It’s our thing. It’s all we do, and we’re proud of how we do it.

People get nervous about sending their furniture away. We get that. So here’s exactly what happens when you contact Luxman Upholstery:
You call us or send a photo of the piece. We give you a quote – usually within 24 hours. If you’re happy, we arrange collection (or you can drop off at our workshop). We strip the piece, assess the frame, replace any worn internals, and upholster with your chosen fabric. We contact you when it’s ready, usually within 5 to 10 working days depending on the job. We deliver back to you.
Simple. No surprises. No hidden costs.
