Richards Bay notes on furniture reupholstery
Family homes in Meerensee, Arboretum, Birdswood and Veld en Vlei often have lounge suites that sweat and grow mould in the humid months, so new foam and a breathable fabric is a common job. In Esikhaleni, eNseleni and Ngwelezane, recovering a solid couch or making a buttoned headboard costs less than replacing it. Leather couches near the beach dry out and crack in the sun; ask about cleaning, conditioning and re-dyeing before you write them off.
Upholsterers and suppliers in Richards Bay
Boats and bakkies drive a lot of the upholstery work in Richards Bay. Ski boats and fishing boats go out from the small craft harbour, and their seats and cushions take sun, salt and fish slime every weekend, so marine vinyl and drainable foam are in steady demand. The port, the smelters and the mining operations run fleets of double cab bakkies and buses whose seats wear through fast. Homes in Meerensee, Arboretum and Birdswood send lounge suites and patio cushions, and families in Esikhaleni and eNseleni recover couches and headboards. Most trimmers and upholsterers sit in Alton and Empangeni. Hot, humid air and salt mean mould and rust are common.
The requests we see from Richards Bay usually come from:
- Car, bakkie and taxi owners: the chairs in a dealership's customer lounge or canteen given new seat pads
- Offices and businesses: boardroom and canteen chairs with tired seat pads recovered in a hard-wearing weave
- Boats, caravans and 4x4s: the dining chairs in a game lodge, a holiday house or a yacht club dining room
