Case Studies
Recovering sofa
Client Problem:
This client had previously had a leather sofa reupholstered by us and now wanted another sofa to match.
The client had a specific need as she is quite short and wanted to be able to sit on the sofa with her feet touching the ground.
She also needed a sofa to recover as she didn’t already have one.
How we helped
The client contacted us so we asked around our contacts in search for a sofa that would be suitable as a base.
A local contact was moving and had a leather sofa that they no longer required and they didn’t want it to go to landfill.
So we arranged a pick up the sofa the day before they moved to their new home, then our client visited the workshop to “try out for comfort”
Once our client was happy it was the sofa for them, we reupholstered in the fabric of their choice to match their existing curtains, replaced foams as required and matched the legs to their existing sofa.
The benefit
The unrequired sofa did not go to landfill.
The client got the sofa she wanted matching her existing items.
The client got her desired sofa at a fraction of the cost of buying new.
Domestic Before & After Gallery
We absolutely loved working on these matching slipper chairs.
They were a wedding present to our clients grandparents, then passed to our clients mum and now requiring an update for her.
Although from the outside they looked ok once we were inside they required fully restoring, including stripping off the old finish from the frame, and refinishing them with Osmo PolyX satin oil. They have had new springs and stuffing and reupholstered in Clarke & Clarke Venus Fabric in colourway – Spice

Restoration of a well loved leather chair.
A lovely lady inherited a dresser from her mum, the heavy glass door swung open and with age and deterioration the hinges gave way and one of the doors fell to the ground breaking.
We sourced a tinted heavy duty Perspex to use in place of the heavy glass.
This solid oak dresser was made to fit perfectly to fit on top of a radiator cover, (also made by Rob). It still looks great 15 years later.
Ercol Sofa re-upholstery
“Robbie and Sharon (and Cricket), Many thanks for a fantastic and beautiful job on our sofa. Also thanks to Shaun & your team, hoping to see you next year for out leather chair” Andy & Karen
The following unit was restored from a heavy wood dresser to a brighter, lighter, painted finish, giving the dresser a modern look.
This means that heavy, dark furniture can be given a newer, modern lease of life, preventing the need to replace these expensive items with new.

Furniture Medic Bournemouth Happy Customers
I would like to say that I’m over the moon with the quality of the work. Unsurpassable standard.
Thank you very much.
Just wanted to say what fantastic service from Shaun, credit to the business
My teak dining chair was beautifully repaired with little sign of where the work was done.
My Symbolic Experience with Furniture-Medic of Bournemouth.
As a savvy customer who have been trying to get workmanships for some of my furniture and a wooden bed that needed a really delicate and expertise refurbishment, for almost a year, I/we have been restlessly searching and contacting various furniture companies around Poole, Bournemouth, Christchurch and around Dorchester and Weymouth, but to no avail. Miraculously as soon as we got in touch with Furniture Medic of Bournemouth and Dorset, and although it was during the most fearful periods of COVID-19, despite that, when I spoke to Sharon, whose welcoming and gentle voice and honest support was just enough to make us fall in love with the whole Furniture Medic Company. As promised and without errs and excuses and without any delay, Sharon asked a team of Furniture Medic professionals to visit and assess and review the whole situation. Then promptly, two professionals (Shaun and Nigel) were determined to happily take on the job of taking our king-size wooden bed apart into pieces and take it away just to bring it up and back to an excellent state even better than when it was first made fresh from the factory. This massively delicate and complicated job started two months ago and as promised by Sharon the bed returned today by the exceptionally knowledgeable, hard working and humane Shaun and Nigel. That is why I and my whole family and friends decided to realistically acknowledge that the company Furniture Medic is not only the best furniture medic company around but also a human medic organisation. Your relationships with your clients is not only nurturing but diversely and lovingly family-oriented.
In the final analysis, the Furniture Medic of Bournemouth and Dorset has proven be a National Treasure of our uniquely wonderful nation. We cannot thank you enough for an exceptional workmanship.
Thank you so much for your help. The communication, work and friendliness of the team had been fantastic.
From the initial visit to our home to the return of our last refurbished piece of furniture we have been delighted with the service and ease of communication. Sean, Sharon and Robbie have brought new life to our treasured pieces and they look better than they did when we bought them 18 years ago!
I would like to say a big thank you to Shaun for being very professional and taking the time to explain how the work would be carried out on the restoration of my chair.
A very pleasant person.
Also a big thank you to all the staff on the restoration. I could not believe it was my chair. I am so pleased, it looks great.
Thank you also to the carpet cleaner, he worked so hard and did a great job.
I would certainly recommend your company and in fact, I already have.
Thank you & 5 stars for a job well done.
Excellent result. Our sun-damaged dining table is now as good as new.
I had the pleasure of using Furniture medic. Shaun is very knowledgeable and provided some very good advice to assist me when deciding if I need to restore my old sofa or buy a new one.
I am glad I went with the first option as the sofa came back on time and in much better condition than when it left. I am a large person so I needed the cushions replaced after 7 years and it now has proper large cushions that feel like they will last longer than the previous ones.
Please note. A good sofa with proper foam cushions is better for your back and posture so if you like the sofa you already have its a good idea to have the cushions replaced, they put much better ones in that your sofa came with!!
They even lend you a sofa whilst they work on yours.
Well worth the cost!
I cant thank you guys enough
Thanks to the chap that came to fix my sofa. He’s done a brilliant job.
Thank you to furniture medic Dorchester for the first class work carried out on two leather sofas. The cream sofa (approx 20 years old) needed a deep clean, polish and final lacquer. It has now been returned to a ‘new condition. This work was carried out diligently by Wayne at my house with no disruption whatsoever.
The brown sofa (around 15 years old) needed to be taken away for a complete refurbishment which involved a strip and replacement of all the padded areas. It was then cleaned, polished and lacquered. Again this has been returned to a ‘new condition’
Thank you to all the staff at furniture medic Dorchester
Highly recommend and well very priced
A small enquiry about a damaged armchair but it was very helpfully handled with good advice which solved the problem.
Dear Sharon and Team,
Just a quick note to say a huge thank you for our table and chairs, they look amazing!
My Chairs have come back and I’m absolutely thrilled.
When the chairs were collected, I said if any other work was needed that was fine and what the upholsterer has done is amazing.
I also asked the guys this morning that IF there is any material left over to please keep it for me and when I give you some more work in the Autumn, it can come back to me.
I’m very delighted with the result. So thank you I will be asking you to do some more work in the future and will certainly recommend to friends.
I just had to email straight away to say how amazing all the chairs look, I am absolutely thrilled with what you have done and utterly delighted with them!
Thank you so much and please pass on my thanks to everyone who worked on them, they are even better than I’d imagined they would be!
You have done a great job from start to finish, so please email me your invoice so that I can pay for all the hard work as soon as possible.
I can’t wait to use them now!
A massive thank you to you all for the work and more importantly how friendly and accommodating you all are. Wouldn’t go anywhere else for any future works!!!
Delighted with the finished result, You could not get better service than we received from everybody involved from start to finish
I just wanted to thank you all for the wonderful job you did on my rocking chair. It looks fabulous and I’m really pleased with it. I nearly cried when your lovely, friendly guy delivered it. My dad would have loved it.
Thank you again and I hope you all stay busy and safe.
First of all, thank you to everyone for re-stuffing my sofa cushions at such short notice. And secondly, could you give Robbie a message for me?
Could you let him know that my dad walked into the house, sat on his chair and immediately said ‘have you done something to the furniture? This is very comfy. Have you had them cleaned? No, you’ve re-stuffed them haven’t you? They’re very comfy.’ He then proceeded to stay in the chair for the rest of the day!
Just to say a big thank you for the fabulous work done fixing the arms of the sofa in my student rental.
Recently my wife and I had four chairs recovered by your firm and, I write to say that we are most impressed and pleased with the work done.
Furthermore, if asked to comment by others, we should not hesitate to recommend your firm.
In addition, we found that all of your staff, that we dealt with, to be most pleasant and helpful.
I’d just like to say how delighted we are with the quality of workmanship demonstrated by the renovation of our kitchen chairs.
We had a choice of trying to find suitable new chairs to buy or to find someone to renovate our existing chairs. I’m so glad we found Furniture Medic because we now have chairs that we think are better than buying new!
We’re enjoying sitting on our renovated chairs and showing them to visitors who remember how they used to be (rickety, with deteriorating upholstery!). They are most impressed.
Your staff were courteous and friendly, and in conversation we learned about other services you offer, so we will definitely be returning customers when we need more work done!
The work which has been completed is fantastic, my wife and l are very pleased with the workmanship and finish, it is like two new sofas at a very much lesser price than to renew them, they were well worth waiting for.
Please can you pass on my thanks to whoever restored my bureau.
It is just wonderful and I am so pleased with the excellent job they have done.
Also the gentleman who came and collected and delivered it is a real credit to your company.
I just wanted to say how happy we are with the table and all the work done. The leg extensions work really well, and the table looks beautiful back in place.
Also, all the staff we have had contact with have been friendly and professional. We will know where to come if we ever need more work done.
Thank you, all of you.
Just wanted to say a big thank you for the level of service and quality of workmanship I received – I was really pleased with the communication and would definitely recommend your services and use your company again should I need to in the future.

My experience with Service Master Dorset was exceptional in everyway – from my initial contact to make the booking, to the prompt and agreeable manner of the pickup and delivery. My special armchair had been badly damaged but it was returned to me promptly, immaculately repaired, as if nothing had happened. I have been delighted by every aspect of the Service I received.
Thanks for the job done – and thanks especially for being so flexible and obliging re getting us the sofas back early Thursday. Much appreciated.
We have just used Furniture Medic to re-upholster a wicker chair and to replace all the insides of our sofa cushions, giving them a brand new lease of life.
We are extremely pleased with their work and impressed with the speed and professionalism of all the staff. Would thoroughly recommend them.
