Recliner sofas
Multi-seat reclining sofas, corner units, footrests, cables, motors and frames.
Common Recliner Faults & Our Fixes
Clear diagnosis first, then a practical repair plan agreed before work begins.
Motor & electrical faults
If the recliner will not move, hums without operating or shows flashing handset lights, we diagnose the motor, transformer, fuses, handset and cabling before recommending repair or replacement.
Mechanism & cable issues
Stuck mechanisms, broken cables, loose handles and recliners leaning to one side can often be fixed with cable replacement, re-routing, adjustment and lubrication.
Structural & frame problems
Broken frames, uneven feet, damaged bases and leaning recliners are assessed for reinforcement, levelling, brace installation or full frame restoration.
Recliner Repair Process — 3 Simple Steps
Send the fault details, get an honest assessment, then let our technician restore the recliner on-site where possible.
Send Photos or Description
WhatsApp or email photos, a short video, or a description of the fault. We’ll advise if repairable and give a free ballpark estimate.
We Visit & Confirm
Our technician visits on-site, confirms the exact fault and agrees final pricing before starting. Most issues are diagnosed in 15–30 minutes.
Repair Completed
Most mechanical repairs are completed the same day, so you can use your fully functioning recliner again that evening.

Repair or Replace?
A faulty recliner often needs a cable, handset, transformer, motor or mechanism adjustment — not a full replacement. We diagnose the fault first and explain the most cost-effective option before work starts.
For older or heavily damaged recliners, we will tell you if replacement would be more sensible than repair.

Recliner-Specific Customer Reviews
Real feedback from electric recliner, riser-recliner and mechanism repairs.
“Better than new.”
Two leather electric recliner chairs. Richard revamped the seating and they are better than when new. Fair pricing, no hesitation recommending.
Verified, NG10 • Checkatrade
“Fixed my dad’s riser-recliner.”
The motor had seized and nobody else would touch it. Richard came, diagnosed it and had it working within the hour.
Mr. T., Loughborough
“Rescued my wall-hugger recliner.”
Thought the motor was dead, but Richard fixed the cable for a fraction of the cost of a new unit. So glad I did not replace it.
