Love your sofa but not the wear and tear? Plumbs’ made-to-measure sofa covers offer a simple, cost-effective way to refresh your seating without buying new furniture. Their fitted covers hug your sofa perfectly, giving it a sleek, tailored finish while protecting it from spills, pets, and everyday life.
“Our sofa covers aren’t just stylish; they’re practical too,” says Sophie. “Many of our designs are machine washable at 30 degrees, colourfast, and require no ironing—just wash, dry, and refit for a fresh look every time.”
With over 100 precise measurements taken for a perfect fit, these covers work for almost any shape or style, including corner sofas. Plus, they come in a wide range of fabrics, so you can match them to your existing décor or try something new!
Reupholstery: Revive & Reimagine Your Favourite Furniture
Why say goodbye to a beloved armchair or sofa when you can give it a brand-new lease of life? Plumbs’ expert reupholstery service takes your existing furniture and transforms it with fresh fabric, making it look and feel like new.
“Reupholstery is an amazing way to recycle furniture and reduce waste,” says Sophie. “Our experts will strip your furniture back to its natural frame and assess any structural requirements before carefully restoring internal elements, followed by finishing with one of our 800 different fabrics. It’s sustainable, cost-effective, and allows you to keep the comfort and quality of the pieces you already love.”
Each piece is handcrafted in Britain, ensuring durability and comfort while bringing your furniture up to date with modern styles. Whether you want to restore a vintage heirloom or modernise a tired sofa, Plumbs makes it easy.

Sometimes, it’s the little things that make the biggest impact. Plumbs’ bespoke cushions and accessories are the perfect way to add personality to your home, with beautifully crafted designs that tie everything together.
“Mixing and matching cushions in different textures and colours is a great way to bring new life to a room,” Plumbs advises. “Our customers love how easy it is to switch up their décor without making major changes.”
