Domestic upholstery

Restore, refresh and transform the furniture you already love.

Reupholstery is a sustainable, cost-effective way to give a quality suite, a family heirloom or a favourite chair a completely new look, without losing the fit and comfort you already have.

Furniture Re-upholstery

Stripped back to the frame, built up again properly.

Newlook Upholstery are experts in furniture reupholstery, restoration and repairs, proudly serving Penarth, Cardiff, Newport, Swansea, Caerphilly and surrounding areas across South Wales. With over 45 years of experience and a team of highly skilled craftsmen and women, we specialise in bringing tired, well-loved furniture back to life.

Whether you have a quality suite, a treasured family heirloom, or a favourite piece that fits your space perfectly, our reupholstery service offers a sustainable, cost-effective way to refresh your furniture and give it a completely new look.

Why people choose reupholstery instead of buying new

  • You love the current design and comfort of your furniture.
  • The original piece is a higher quality than most modern replacements.
  • The cost of a new suite would be significantly higher than reupholstery.
  • The piece fits your space and style perfectly.
  • You want to customise your furniture with your own fabric choice and finishing touches.

We bring the showroom to you. A representative visits your home at a convenient time with a wide range of fabric and leather samples, so you do not need to spend time trailing multiple stores.

Quick turnaround and convenient service

  • Typical turnaround is just 7–10 working days from collection.
  • Loan furniture available if required while your items are being restored.
  • Prompt return of your refurbished furniture with professional handling and care.

All work is completed in our fully equipped South Wales workshop by a team of trusted, local upholsterers. We are proud members of the Association of Master Upholsterers, giving you complete peace of mind that your furniture is being restored by qualified, experienced professionals.

Why Newlook

The advantages of reupholstering.

Transforms old furniture into a fresh, stylish piece, with the original design features kept and the look and feel updated.

Cost-effective and sustainable

A fraction of the price of replacing quality furniture, and it keeps a good frame out of landfill.

Sentimental value preserved

How it works

What is involved in our reupholstery process.

Assessment and preparation

We carefully remove all old fabric and materials to fully inspect the structure of your furniture.

Frame inspection

We check for loose joints or damage and make any repairs needed to restore the frame’s strength and stability.

Springs, webbing and foam

Worn springs, webbings and foams are replaced or repaired for improved comfort and support.

Pattern cutting and sewing

Fabric is cut precisely, with special attention to pattern matching for stripes, florals and intricate designs, then sewn and upholstered by our team.

Final inspection

Every piece is checked for quality and finish before it is delivered back to you.
