Office Chair Repairs Brisbane
Elko repairs office chairs from our Carindale workshop — gas lifts, castors, bases, backrests, armrests, tilt and recline mechanisms, seat foam and full reupholstery, all repaired by hand and returned ready to use.
What We Repair
Office chairs come to us for all kinds of reasons — here’s what we fix most often.
Gas Lifts
A failing or leaking gas lift — a chair that sinks, won’t hold its height, or won’t rise at all — is one of the most common office chair repairs we see.
Castors & Bases
Worn castors, cracked bases and wobbly star bases repaired or replaced so the chair sits and rolls properly again.
Backrests & Armrests
Loose, broken or misaligned backrests and armrests repaired, re-padded or replaced.
Tilt & Recline Mechanisms
Mechanisms that have stopped locking, tilting or reclining properly are stripped back, repaired or replaced.
Seat Foam & Cushioning
Flattened, split or lumpy seat foam replaced so the chair is comfortable again, not just re-covered over old foam.
Reupholstery
A full re-cover in fabric or leather, on its own or alongside structural repairs. See our chair upholstery page for fabric and leather options →
“Absoultey smash it!!! Couldnt be happier, I had a heap of quotes to get my very large and heavy office chair fixed up, new straps, new foam, new base and arms. I was a little bit nervous because this chair cost me thousands when I bought it but Elko has far gone past anything I could have thought. They even fixed things I didn’t know were wrong and called me and kept me in the loop the whole way through the process, and picked up and dropped off. If i could give more then 5 stars I would!!”

If your chair just needs a clean rather than a repair, see our furniture and upholstery cleaning service.
Commercial & Bulk Office Chairs
Corporate and office chair upholstery for Brisbane businesses, not just single chairs at home.
As well as individual chairs, we repair and reupholster office chairs for Brisbane businesses — a run of matching chairs from the same workplace, not just one at a time. Offices and restaurants both bring us seating like this; if your business needs new upholstery across a number of chairs rather than repairs to existing ones, see our commercial upholstery page for corporate and office seating.
How It Works
From the first photo to a chair that’s back at your desk.
Send photos or call
Send us a couple of photos of your office chair, or call 1300 048 152 and describe what’s wrong — a mechanism that won’t lock, a leaking gas lift, torn upholstery or a wobbly base.
We check the chair
We look over the frame, mechanism, gas lift, castors and upholstery to see exactly what’s needed before any work starts.
Mechanism & structural work
Gas lifts, castors, bases, backrests and tilt or recline mechanisms are repaired or replaced so the chair works properly again.
Reupholstered & returned
Foam and fabric or leather are fitted by hand at our Carindale workshop. We can collect your office chair and drop it back once it’s done — see pick-up & delivery — or you’re welcome to drop it in yourself.

Office Chair Repair FAQs
Straight answers to the questions we hear most from Brisbane offices and home workers.
It depends on the chair. A well-built ergonomic chair with a solid frame is often worth repairing rather than replacing — the mechanism, gas lift, castors or upholstery can usually be fixed without buying a new chair. A chair with a cracked frame or very low original quality is a different calculation. We’ll give you an honest opinion as part of your quote.
It depends on what’s actually wrong. A gas lift or castor replacement is a smaller job than a full mechanism rebuild or a reupholstery, and the fabric or leather you choose also affects the price. Send us a couple of photos or call 1300 048 152 and we’ll put together a quote based on what your chair needs.
Yes — a chair that sinks, won’t hold its height, or won’t rise at all usually means the gas lift needs replacing. It’s one of the most common office chair repairs we see, and it’s usually a straightforward job rather than something that needs a whole new chair.
Yes. We can reupholster office chair seats and backs in fabric or leather, on their own or alongside mechanism, gas lift, base or armrest repairs in the same job.
Yes — we take on jobs covering several office chairs from the same workplace at once. Send us photos of all the chairs involved and we’ll quote the job as a whole.
