REFURBISHMENT

Teach your old seats new tricks!

Revitalise Your Venue with Expert Refurbishment

Bring your seating back to life – beautifully, sustainably, and cost-effectively.

Whether you need a light refresh or a full-scale transformation, our expert team delivers tailored refurbishment solutions that extend the life of your furniture while maintaining the highest standards of comfort and performance.

We begin with a free site visit to assess the condition of your existing seating. Our specialists will advise on the most effective and sustainable refurbishment options, providing a clear scope, timeline, and cost breakdown - with no pressure to commit.

We understand your venue can’t stop functioning. That’s why we schedule our work around your calendar, to ensure minimal disruption to your operations.

Choose from a wide range of modern, high-performance fabrics, leathers, and finishes. We’ll refresh your seating with precision upholstery, updated padding, and detailing that enhances both comfort and appearance.

Where needed, we replace worn or damaged parts - including arms, bases, mechanisms, and foam - with quality components designed to last. We can also upgrade elements to meet updated accessibility, fire safety, or design standards.

We’re proud to offer environmentally conscious refurbishment, reusing as many original components as possible to reduce waste and carbon footprint. Our methods extend the life of existing furniture while keeping materials out of landfill.

Depending on your needs, we can complete refurbishments on-site for speed and convenience, or transport your seating to our dedicated workshop for more complex transformations.

We handle the entire logistics process - from collecting your seating, transporting it safely, refurbishing it to spec, and reinstalling it in your venue, ready for use.

“The renewal of our seating came at a busy time for us. The Race team understood our needs perfectly, installation was swift, efficient and smooth. The result elevates our auditorium into something really special”.

Robin Byers, Service Manager – Place & Experience, Durham County Council

Environmental Impact

Choosing to refurbish instead of replace not only extends the life of your furniture — it dramatically reduces environmental impact. At Race Furniture, sustainability is at the core of everything we do.

Sustainable Benefits of Refurbishment

Less Waste to Landfill
By restoring existing seating structures, we keep tonnes of materials – like timber, metal, and foam – out of landfill every year.

Reduced Carbon Footprint
Refurbishing furniture consumes significantly less energy than manufacturing new products. We reuse frames, reuse or recycle fabrics, and use local supply chains wherever possible.

Lower Resource Consumption
Refurbishment conserves raw materials like steel, plastics, and textiles, helping reduce pressure on global resources.

Eco-Friendly Materials
We offer a range of sustainable fabric and finish options, including those made from recycled fibres and low-emission materials.

Designed for Circularity
Our approach supports circular design principles – keeping furniture in use longer, with components that can be repaired, reused or recycled.
