Revitalise your settee
A suite that doesn’t match defeats the point. We recover three-piece suites and corner sofas as a set: same fabric batch, same pattern alignment, same piping detail across every cushion, arm and back panel.
If your existing inners have collapsed, we’ll quote new foam, hollow-fibre or feather to match the original feel — softer than feather alone, firmer than foam alone, whichever you prefer.
Why customers choose Valley for settee re-upholstery
Expertise across classic and contemporary. Our craftsmen handle traditional chesterfields and Victorian wingbacks with the same care as modern sectionals and corner units. We’ll match the construction to the piece — hand-tied springs and hand-stitched edges where it warrants it; modern serpentine springs and high-resilience foam where it doesn’t.
Free, no-obligation quotes. Transparent pricing — we assess your settee’s condition and provide a detailed breakdown of costs so you know exactly what to expect. Photos by message work for most jobs; for larger suites and out-of-shop pieces we’ll come to you.
Extensive fabric showroom. Step into our Stalybridge showroom for the full range — Cristina Marrone (including the Destino, Venezia, Galleria and Cambio collections), Ross Fabrics, Sunbury, Geometrics, Warwick, Wemyss and Agua. Our curated collection covers everything from £15-per-metre everyday weaves up to £120-per-metre Italian jacquards.
Easy online quotes. Fill out our home upholstery quote form with details about your settee and our specialists will reply with a personalised quote — usually the same day.
Comprehensive service. From structural repairs (frame, springs, sagging seats) to full fabric replacement, we offer the complete range. We strip every piece back to the frame, inspect the timber and webbing, replace what needs replacing, and rebuild from the inside out.
Turnaround
Most three-piece suites take three to four weeks from collection to delivery. Bigger corner units and contract orders can run longer; we agree it before we lift the first cushion.
Customer satisfaction
Customer satisfaction is our top priority — we take pride in our work and are committed to exceeding expectations. Read real customer reviews on Trustpilot and Google to see why we’re a preferred choice for settee re-upholstery in Stalybridge and across Greater Manchester.

What customers say
From customers who have used this service.
“Our two piece settee was in good condition and the exterior fabric was fine but the cushions needed re-filling and the arms of the suite needed fixing as they had sagged. I spoke to John about the specific issues and he helped me to make decisions about what was needed. We are thrilled with the results and the suite looks and feels brand new again! It was taken on Monday and we got it back Wednesday. John went above and beyond when additional things became apparent with the single chair. Great service and excellent value for money!”
“In summer of 24, I had my dining chair seats recovered. Valley Upholstery did a fantastic job. A few months later, I decided I wanted a new suite, but couldn't find one I liked, so I went back to Valley and we discussed recovering my existing leather reclining sofas. There was such a lot of choice. John was very helpful and advised me of different materials I could choose from. I chose a very hard wearing product called Toro. Alan and Karl took one sofa at a time being very careful not to bang other furniture and wallpaper on the way out, and it was returned a few days later looking stunning. Amazing job! I can't fault them. 5* service. Thank you.”
“Excellent service from Valley Upholstery. They re-upholstered our 3 piece suite and did a fantastic job, it now looks better than when we bought the original suite! Basically a brand new suite using the old frame. Attention to detail is exceptional particularly in matching the patterning on the various parts. We're very pleased with the result and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.”
Frequently asked
Common questions about this service.
- How long does reupholstery take?
- Most domestic projects take two to four weeks from collection to delivery. Caravans usually run two to three weeks. Single dining chairs are often back within a week. We agree the timeline up front and stick to it.
- Can I choose any fabric or leather?
- You can choose from hundreds of fabrics and leathers in our Stalybridge showroom — Cristina Marrone, Rosemount Fabrics, Ross Fabrics, Sunbury Designs, Warwick, Wemyss, Agua, Futura Leathers, Crest Leather, Nene Valley Leathers and more — priced from about £15 per metre to around £120 per metre.
- How much does it cost to reupholster a sofa?
- It depends on the size, the condition and the fabric. As a guide, a two-seater sofa in a mid-range fabric usually starts around £700 to £900 plus vat, and a three-seater from around £900 to £1,100 plus vat. Repairs (frame, springs, foam) are quoted separately. We give every customer a clear, itemised quote with no surprises.
- Do you take a deposit?
- For most jobs we ask for a deposit on confirmation, with the balance due on delivery. Larger commercial and contract jobs are invoiced on agreed milestones.
- What guarantee do you offer?
- Workmanship is guaranteed, with a two-year craftsmanship guarantee on production and contract work. Fabric durability is governed by the supplier's own rub-test rating; we'll explain that when you choose.
- Can you collect a sofa from upstairs?
- Yes, where access permits. Send us a photo of the doorway and any tight turns and we'll plan it before we arrive.
