Depending on the material, you can pay anything from around £25 to £65 per linear meter. Reupholstering tends to be something you do to a special piece of furniture. You'll also have to pay for labour by the hour. This could cost you around £1500 or more, depending on your bed size.

Professional reupholstery services cost between $40 and $100 per hour of work. Small items like chairs and outdoor cushions can be finished in as little as a week, whereas larger furniture repairs can take up to a month. For the average chair or couch, you'll pay between $500 and $1,000 in labor alone.

To give a broad estimate, reupholstering a couch (fabric only) will take 15–24 hours of work. Repairing the frame and springs and replacing the stuffing will take extra time. If you employ a furniture repair specialist to do the job, expect your sofa to be with them for around two weeks.
