You should budget at least $300 for the cost of labor and talent, on top of the cost of material, but you can call your re-upholsterer ahead of time to get an idea of their charges. For the average sized couch, you can typically expect to pay around $700. Of course, this will also depend on the type of material that you use (for example, linen will cost much less than silk or velvet) as well as who you go to to have the reupholstering done. A large couch will run you close to $1,000 and a small loveseat will typically be around $450.
Before you decide whether to replace or recover a piece of furniture, be clear on how much each option will cost in terms of money and time. A new couch may fit into your budget more feasibly than the costs of upholstery. The cost to repholster a sofa can range from $700 to $1,200. However, you may decide that a piece's quality or its sentimental or historic value justifies the cost of reupholstery.
