Everything you need to run your upholsterer business

Packed with powerful tools to grow your revenue, streamline your bookings, and boost client retention.

Site Visit & Measurement Booking

Offer dedicated slots for in-home measuring and condition checks, with time buffers for travel and parking. Customers can pick a time, and you get the details you need before you quote properly.

Photo & Fabric Details Collected Up Front

Ask for photos, rough dimensions, and whether they’re supplying fabric or choosing from your books. Fewer “it looked smaller on the phone” moments, and less chasing for the basics.

Quote-to-Booking Follow-Ups

Send a tidy quote summary and let customers accept it online to lock in a workshop slot. Automatic reminders stop good jobs going quiet after you’ve spent time measuring and advising.

Workshop Slot Limits for Large Items

Set rules for how many sofas, armchairs, dining seats, or headboards you can take in per week. Keep the benches workable and stop overbooking when you’re mid-stripdown on a big job.

Deposits for Fabric, Foam & Trims

Take a deposit at acceptance so you can order materials with confidence. Reduce cancellations after you’ve opened the fabric roll, cut foam, or booked delivery time.

Job Checklist from Strip to Final Dress

Track the practical stages: strip, frame check, springs/webbing, foam/wadding, cut & sew, fit, finishing, and collection/delivery. Everyone knows what’s next, even when you’re juggling several pieces.

The challenges every upholsterer faces

Quotes Depend on What’s Under the Fabric

Customers want a price before you’ve even seen the frame, springs, or previous repairs. One settee can be a straightforward recover; the next needs re-webbing, new foam, and frame work. You need a booking flow that captures photos, dimensions, and notes before you commit time.

Workshop Capacity Isn’t Unlimited

A couple of big sofas can block the benches, drying space, and storage for days. If you take on too many collections at once, you end up with furniture stacked everywhere and jobs slipping. You need controlled intake with proper lead times and slot limits.

Deposits and Materials Ordering Create Cashflow Pressure

Fabric, foam, wadding, zips, studs, and trims aren’t free, and many suppliers have minimums or lead times. If a customer delays or changes their mind after you’ve ordered, you’re exposed. You need deposits taken at the right point, with clear terms.

Collection/Delivery and Home Visits Add Hidden Time

Measuring, advising on fabric choice, carrying awkward items, parking, and loading all eat into the day. If you’re doing a mix of site visits and workshop work, it’s easy to lose hours to travel. You need bookings that account for location, timings, and buffers.

Built for real upholsterer workflows

A typical day usually starts with a quick look at what’s on the bench: a chair halfway stripped, a sofa waiting for foam, and a set of dining seats due for collection. Then the phone starts. Someone’s inherited a wingback and wants “a rough idea”, another customer is chasing a completion date, and a third has found a fabric online and wants to know if it’s suitable. With an upholsterer booking sy...

Quick Setup

Get started in 3 simple steps

Your upholsterer business accepting bookings in under 5 minutes

1

List Your Upholstery Job Types Properly

Add services like sofa reupholstery, chair recover, cushion refills, sprung seat repairs, frame repairs, and furniture restoration. Set different booking paths for “send photos for a quote” versus “book a measurement visit”, because they’re not the same job.

2

Set Intake Rules for Workshop Space and Lead Times

Define how many large items you can accept per week, your typical turnaround ranges, and when you do collections/deliveries. Build in buffers for stripdown surprises, supplier lead times, and finishing work like piping, buttons, and studding.

3

Turn Quotes into Confirmed Slots with Deposits

Choose when to take deposits (usually on quote acceptance) and what the deposit covers (materials and booking the slot). Share your booking link on your website, Google Business Profile, and social pages so customers can book 24/7.

FAQ

Questions? Answers.

Everything you need to know about our upholsterer booking system.

Try it free
Can I handle urgent upholstery jobs, like a ripped cushion or a broken chair leg, without wrecking my schedule?

Yes. You can create “small repair” or “quick turnaround” slots that only appear on certain days or times. That way you can take the urgent jobs that are genuinely quick, without pushing back larger reupholstery work already on the benches. You can also add a surcharge option for priority work if you offer it.

What job types can customers book online for upholstery?

You can offer bookings for site visits and measurements, workshop consultations, cushion refills, dining chair recover, armchair reupholstery, sofa reupholstery, and repairs like webbing/spring issues. For bigger pieces, it’s common to route customers into a “request a quote” flow first. The system can collect photos, sizes, and fabric preferences so you’re not guessing.

When should I take payment for upholstery work — deposit, part-payment, or on completion?

Most upholsterers take a deposit when the quote is accepted, especially if fabric and foam need ordering. You can then take the balance on completion, before collection/delivery. For larger projects, you can split payments into stages (deposit, mid-point, final) to protect cashflow.

Does the system help with seasonal demand, like pre-Christmas chair rushes?

Yes. You can increase lead times and limit intake for certain services during busy periods like autumn and December. If January is quieter, you can open up more slots or promote consultation bookings. The key is controlling how many pieces come into the workshop at once.

Can I manage multiple upholsterers or a small team in one diary?

Yes. You can assign bookings to different team members or benches, and keep visibility of who’s on site visits versus who’s in the workshop. This helps when one person is doing collections/deliveries and another is on the tools. You can also avoid double-booking the van or the cutting table time.

How does it help convert quotes into actual booked jobs?

After you send a quote, the customer gets a clear accept-and-book step instead of a vague “let me know”. Automated reminders nudge people who go quiet after getting prices. Because customers can pay a deposit to secure a slot, you get fewer time-wasters and more confirmed work.

Can I keep customers updated without constant phone calls and WhatsApp?

Yes. You can send automatic confirmations, reminders for site visits, and messages when a job is booked in or ready for collection. You can also set expectations up front about turnaround times and what you need from them (access, parking, fabric decisions). It cuts down on “any update?” messages while you’re trying to work.

How flexible is pricing for different upholstery jobs and unknowns?

You can set starting prices for common work (like cushion refills) and use quote-based pricing for anything that depends on what’s under the cover. You can add options for collection/delivery, customer-supplied fabric checks, priority turnaround, and extras like new foam or new webbing. That keeps pricing fair without locking you into the wrong figure.

Why iBookFast for your upholsterer business?

Upholstery work doesn’t fit the neat, hourly appointment style that works for other trades. One “chair repair” could mean a loose leg and a quick glue-up, or it could turn into frame work once you find old staples, cracked joints, and a seat that’s been bodged before. Customers, though, still want a firm date and a clear price. That’s where most traditional booking goes wrong. You get an enquiry,...
