Fix the joints, then the fabric
No other chair in a home is pulled across the floor, tipped back and dropped into so many times each day. All that strain loosens the joints where the seat rails meet the legs well before the cover wears out. Put new fabric on a frame that still shifts and it pulls free of its staples, which is why we reset the joints before the cover goes onto a chair that stays square.
Single chairs or the entire set
Caned, carved, covered all over, or a simple pad on a wood frame. The arm chairs at each end nearly always need more work than the rest, since they are the ones the family sits in on ordinary days.
Flip a chair before you get in touch
On a dining chair the legs, stretchers and top rail are exposed wood, so their finish matters here in a way it does not on a sofa. The real story, though, is fastened to the underside, and most dining room chair repair CT quotes shift once we have seen it.
Beneath
Sagging webbingWhen a seat dips in the center, the webbing is normally to blame, not the foam.
Fresh webbingWoven together and pulled tight across the rails before the seat is rebuilt.
Hand-tied springsSprung seats on older arm chairs are worth retying instead of replacing.
Flat padsThe two chairs used every day wear first and turn hard along the front edge.
Visible
Marked legsShoes, vacuum cleaners and baseboards rub the finish off the front legs.
Exposed carvingWe mask and protect carved wood while the seat is removed and refitted.
Loose weltPiping pulling away means a seam is opening, not that the trim is at fault.
Front edge wearThe spot your legs press against each time you take a seat.
Details that show at the table
Walk past a dining table and each chair seam is right at eye level. Welting, nail trim and a pattern lined up chair to chair are what set a properly reupholstered set apart from one that has only been recovered.

The work
We reset the joints first, then rebuild and cover the seats.
Every chair from a single cut
Slip seats come out easily, so a full set is the lowest per-chair cost for dining room chair repair CT homes can get, and covering them all from one cut is cheaper than doing two now and trying to match the rest later. This set kept its original frames and legs; only the beige was swapped for emerald.

It may just need cleaning
If the seat is sound and only stained, it needs cleaning, not a new cover, and one open seam just needs stitching. Your photos will show us, and we will say so. Read about seat pads cut to the seat, armchair repair and leather cleaning.
Common Dining Chair Questions
Asked most often before people book dining room chair repair CT wide, from the Gold Coast to the Litchfield Hills.
Only two of our six chairs wobble. Must all six be done?
No, though every chair should be checked. A set shares the same age and the same glue, so the rest are often on their way. Your photos and a wobble test show us which ones are still solid.
Is it possible to recover just the two worn chairs?
Yes, as long as the fabric is still in production. If it is discontinued, doing only some leaves a pair that stands out, and we will tell you that before you decide, not after.
How do the seats come off?
On most dining chairs the slip seat is held by four screws from below, which makes them the simplest upholstered furniture in a home to recover.
Our antique chairs have carved wood. Can you still work on them?
Yes. We mask the exposed wood while the old upholstery is removed, and any loose joints are reglued during the same job.
