New upholstery can change a sofa’s appearance, but new fabric alone will not fix a sagging seat or damaged frame. Before requesting a price in Madrid, decide whether you need material, complete reupholstery or a repair. These are different jobs, and businesses may offer them in different ways.

Two options with official information
Gancedo: start with the fabric
Gancedo presents fabric collections, wallpaper and other textile decoration products. Its flagship Madrid shop is at Velázquez, 38. It can be a starting point for comparing materials and discussing a decorating project.
Ask which parts of your order the quotation covers: fabric supply, making up, upholstery, installation or coordination with another professional. Buying material and commissioning a sofa repair are different transactions.
Tapicería Eduardo García: making and restoring furniture
The company advertises the manufacture and restoration of upholstered furniture. Its contact page separates the shop at Lagasca, 84, from the workshop at Conrado del Campo, 5, units 15/16. Workshop visits require an appointment.
Send a description and both overall and detailed photographs before transporting your furniture. Ask whether the initial estimate needs an inspection to confirm the condition of the filling or frame.
These references are included on the basis of information published by the businesses themselves. They are not a quality ranking, an on-site assessment or a guarantee of price or availability.
What a comparable quotation should describe
- Furniture: pieces, dimensions, cushions and removable parts.
- Work: replacing fabric, repairing the frame or renewing fillings, as agreed.
- Fabric: the exact reference, colour and quantity, with the manufacturer’s care instructions.
- Finish: seams, piping, buttons or changes to the original design.
- Logistics: collection, delivery, stairs and possible supplements.
- Price and timing: the tax-inclusive total, payments, estimated date and approval of extra work.
Try a sample before deciding
Ask for a swatch and view it in the room where the furniture will sit, under natural and artificial light. Explain the actual use: an occasional chair has different demands from an everyday sofa. If easy cleaning matters, request instructions for that particular fabric; a marketing label does not replace its care information.
When is reupholstering worthwhile?
Compare the full cost with what you want to keep: dimensions that fit, comfort, design or sentimental value. Include any repairs in the decision. A low price covering fabric alone may not solve the problem that prompted the project.
Keep a written record of the material chosen and any agreed changes. If you also need car upholstery cleaned, see our guide to comparing Madrid car-wash services.
