Sitting on the arms of your sofa may cause distortion of the wooden rails or boards inside to crack. These can be replaced, sometimes without the need to strip off or disturb the upholstery. Broken spring rails and other wooden frame work can be replaced or repaired.
You don’t need to replace the chair just because of missing castors, broken legs and feet. These parts can be repaired or replaced. Cross threaded fittings can be replaced.
Repairs can be made to the wooden frame of a recliner in a similar way to non reclining furniture. Upholstered or wooden headboards can also be repaired or restored.
Spring replacements and adjustments
Broken or stretched springs in sofa seats are uncomfortable to sit on. Serpentine Zig Zag springs can be replaced or refitted, traditional coil springs can be re-set or lashed. Large coil-sprung units which may begin to sag after several years can be re-tightened and the elastic webbing used in some modern furniture can be renewed.
Replacement and adjustment of mechanisms
Recliner mechanisms are prone to working loose over a period of time. Excessive play or malfunction in a mechanism may mean that the complete metal unit might need to be replaced or it may just need adjusting.
Recliner cables can become detached from their levers or at the mechanism. These can be easily re-fitted. If the problem is due to the cable being stretched or broken, the cable may need to be replaced.
