Furniture repairs,
done properly

Dylberry Design repairs tired and broken furniture across Melbourne from our Eltham workshop: rewebbing, respringing, new foam, sagging seats, wobbly frames and worn cushions. With a full in-house team, a machinist, an upholsterer and a restorer under one roof, we can repair almost any piece of furniture, not just lounges. Most pieces are worth saving, and a repair costs a fraction of buying new. Send a photo of the problem and we will tell you honestly whether it is worth fixing, and what it will cost.

What we fix

Last updated: July 2026

A sunken, saggy lounge usually is not worn out, it just needs the support rebuilt. We bring the comfort and shape back, for a lot less than replacing it.

Repair questions

Can you fix a sagging sofa?

Almost always, yes. A sagging seat usually means the webbing or springs have gone, not that the sofa is worn out. We rebuild the support with new webbing and springs so it sits firm and even again.

What is rewebbing and respringing?

Rewebbing replaces the woven support straps under the seat; respringing replaces or re-ties the springs. Both are what hold your shape and comfort. When they fail the seat sinks, and rebuilding them is a straightforward, cost-effective fix.

Is it cheaper to repair or replace?

Usually much cheaper to repair, if the frame is sound. Rebuilding the support and foam of a good piece costs a fraction of buying new furniture of the same quality, and keeps a piece you like.

Do you replace foam and cushions?

Yes. We replace flat or crumbling foam with genuine fire-grade foam at the right density, and refill or restuff tired cushions so they sit plump and even.

How do I get a repair quote?

Send a photo of the piece and the problem using the form on this page, or text it to 0425 832 619. Quotes are free with no obligation and we reply within 24 hours.

My sofa sags in the middle. Can that be fixed without reupholstering?

Usually yes. Sagging is almost always the webbing, springs or foam giving way rather than the cover, and we can rebuild that support from underneath while keeping your existing fabric where it is sound.

What is the difference between rewebbing and respringing?

Rewebbing replaces the woven straps that support the seat base, while respringing repairs or replaces the coil or serpentine springs that sit on top of them. A saggy seat often needs one or both, and we work out which after inspecting the frame.

Can you repair a broken or wobbly frame?

Yes, loose joints, cracked rails and wobbly legs are common repairs for us, and a solid frame is exactly what makes a piece worth keeping. We reglue, dowel or reinforce the timber so the structure is sound before any padding or fabric goes back on.

Is it worth repairing a cheaper flat-pack style sofa?

It depends on the frame. If the timber is solid the repair is usually worthwhile, but with lightweight particleboard frames we will tell you honestly if a repair will not hold, rather than take on a job that will not last.

The foam has gone flat but the cover is fine. Can you just replace the foam?

Yes, a foam-only refresh is one of the most cost-effective repairs we do, and it can make an older seat feel firm and comfortable again. We use fire-grade foam matched to how you actually sit on the piece.

Do you repair office and dining chairs, not just lounges?

We repair the full range, from dining and carver chairs to office and occasional chairs, covering seats, backs, padding and frames. Send a photo and we will let you know what the repair involves.
