Furniture reupholstery in Gqeberha: local notes
Lounge suites in Newton Park, Mill Park and Walmer are often good older frames worth recovering, and families in KwaZakhele, New Brighton and Motherwell recover couches and headboards rather than buy new. Wingbacks and dining chairs from older homes in Central and Richmond Hill come in for restoration. Holiday flats in Summerstrand need hard-wearing, washable fabric. Leather couches in sunny rooms facing the bay dry and fade, so ask about re-dyeing.
Gqeberha: the homes, the climate and the workshops
Car plants and their component suppliers have trained a deep pool of seat makers and trimmers around Nelson Mandela Bay, which is why car seats, bakkie benches and leather conversions are such a big part of upholstery in Port Elizabeth. Trimmers work from Korsten, Struandale, Deal Party and Neave, while furniture upholsterers recover lounge suites in Newton Park, Walmer and Mill Park and couches in KwaZakhele, New Brighton and Motherwell. Summerstrand holiday flats and student digs near the university need tough fabric. The wind carries salt and fine sand indoors, so expect rusted staples, faded fabric on sunny stoeps, and boat seats from the harbour that need marine vinyl.
The requests we see from Gqeberha usually come from:
- Car, bakkie and taxi owners: the waiting area couch at a car dealership or service centre given a new cover
- Boats, caravans and 4x4s: the built-in couch in a caravan or holiday cottage recovered with fresh foam
- Offices and businesses: reception and staff room couches recovered in a contract-grade fabric with firm seats
