Reupholstering a three seater modern sofa at Jagdish Store costs from about ₹26,940: 13.5 metres of Bikaner collection fabric at ₹1,440 a metre, plus re-covering labour from ₹2,500 a seat. The exact figure is confirmed after a free home visit in Delhi NCR and Gurgaon, before anything is cut.
Curious how that number comes together, or what your own sofa might cost? Here is the whole sum, laid out the way our workroom does it.
What goes into the price
Every reupholstery quote is made of two parts:
- Fabric, priced by the metre. Our current upholstery fabrics run from ₹695 to ₹1,780 a metre.
- Labour, priced by the seat. Re-covering starts at ₹2,500 per seat for every sofa and chair style, and ottomans, benches and headboards are ₹2,500 a piece.
How many metres you need depends on the shape of the sofa. A modern or Chesterfield sofa takes about 4.5 metres per seat, an Indian carved sofa about 3.5, a single seater sofa chair or a recliner 6 metres, and a slipper chair 4 metres. Each figure covers the seat and the back.
What it costs, piece by piece
These examples use Bikaner collection fabric at ₹1,440 a metre and the starting labour rate. Your final figure depends on the fabric you choose and on your frame.
| Piece | Fabric | Fabric cost | Labour from | Total from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Two seater modern sofa | 9 m | ₹12,960 | ₹5,000 | ₹17,960 |
| Three seater modern sofa | 13.5 m | ₹19,440 | ₹7,500 | ₹26,940 |
| Three seater Indian carved sofa | 10.5 m | ₹15,120 | ₹7,500 | ₹22,620 |
| Single seater sofa chair | 6 m | ₹8,640 | ₹2,500 | ₹11,140 |
| Recliner or lounge chair | 6 m | ₹8,640 | ₹2,500 | ₹11,140 |
| Slipper chair | 4 m | ₹5,760 | ₹2,500 | ₹8,260 |
Choosing a different fabric changes only the fabric column. The same three seater in Lukora at ₹1,780 a metre comes to ₹24,030 for fabric, or ₹31,530 with labour from ₹7,500.
What can push the number up
A large pattern
Plain fabrics and small textures can be cut in any direction, so very little is wasted. A big motif or a bold stripe has to line up across the back, the seat and the cushions, which uses extra fabric. Our tailor checks the repeat on your chosen fabric before cutting.
The frame, the foam and the stitching
Labour starts at ₹2,500 a seat, and the final figure depends on the frame, the foam and the stitching detail you choose. That is why it is quoted at the home visit rather than online.
Extra cushions
Loose scatter cushions are separate from the per seat figure. You can add them in the same order, choosing each cushion size and quantity.

Questions people ask us about reupholstery cost
Is the home visit really free?
Yes. In Delhi NCR and Gurgaon, Jagdish Store's tailor visit is free. The tailor measures your sofa, confirms how many metres it needs and gives you the labour estimate at home, so you know the full cost before a single metre is cut.
How much does it cost to reupholster a dining chair?
Re-covering labour for a dining chair at Jagdish Store starts at ₹2,500 per chair. The fabric depends on the size of the seat and back, so our tailor measures the chair and confirms the metres at the free home visit before giving you the full figure.
Is it cheaper to reupholster or to buy a new sofa?
That depends on the sofa. A well-built frame you love is often worth re-covering, and you get to choose any fabric from our racks. At the free visit our tailor looks at the frame and foam and gives you an honest estimate, so you can compare before deciding.
Can I order the fabric online and book the tailor later?
Yes. Ordering the full fabric also books the visit, and the tailor confirms the exact metres at your home before cutting. If you would rather see the frame measured first, book the free visit on its own and choose a slot.
