Chair wobble, table legs and wooden furniture repair
A wobbly chair or a loose table leg is quote on inspection. There is no chair-joint price in the catalogue. Drawer slides, cabinet hinges and door laminate patches are published on their own pages and are easy to misuse as a furniture price. This page says which fault is which.

What this job actually is
Furniture repair Singapore, wooden furniture repair, and a wobbly chair are the searches. The work is usually a joint that has opened, a screw that has stripped, or a leg that no longer meets the apron. Singapore humidity does this to solid timber and to the particle-board cam joints in flat-pack. There is no published price for regluing a chair, rebushing a table leg, or replacing a broken apron. Quote on inspection. Competitor pages print call-out figures and chair-set ranges. Those numbers are not in this catalogue, so they are not repeated here as ours.
The faults that do have sentences should be named properly so the chair quote is not used to discount them, and their prices are not used to invent a chair price. Full-extension soft-close slides for one to three drawers are S$110 to S$220. A Blum Tandembox, Antaro, Legrabox or Hafele soft-close damper and carriage is S$160 to S$320. A collapsed drawer bottom is S$140 to S$280. Kitchen pull-out baskets are S$220 to S$520 on that same drawer page. Cabinet door alignment is S$50 to S$100 a visit. Hinge replacement on the cabinet page is S$40 to S$100 a hinge, and a generic hinge is from S$38 a door. Blum pairs are S$90 to S$180 for a 110 degree clip and S$120 to S$220 for a 155 degree clip. A room-door hinge is a different page, S$60 to S$120 for alignment. A chair leg is neither.
Laminate and veneer are the visual half of the search. Door veneer, laminate and pet-scratch patching is S$160 to S$350 on the door repair page. That sentence is a door leaf. A kitchen cabinet door with a peeled laminate skin is not automatically that door. If the photo is a room door, use the door row. If the photo is a cabinet door or a table top, say so and expect quote on inspection unless the door sentence truly matches. Parquet polishing is the floor: a scratch and spot varnish is S$220 to S$450, one bedroom of dustless sand and three coats is S$650 to S$980, and a localised 1 to 3 square metre patch is S$250 to S$580. Furniture refinishing of a sideboard is not a floor sand. No furniture-polish band is published.
Termites and water decide whether a repair is honest. A screwdriver that sinks into a leg or into the skirting behind a sideboard is rot or termites. Painting the leg hides the next swarm. Door-frame and skirting replacement is S$240 to S$580 for 10m to 30m of waterproof skirting, S$260 to S$480 to splice a rotted lower jamb, and S$680 to S$1,350 for a whole-unit skirting and architrave restoration when those sentences match. We do not claim to be the pest-control firm that treats the colony. An under-sink cabinet that is swollen is S$280 to S$450 for the base board, not a furniture-polish visit. Stop the leak first.
Chairs that need new seats rather than new joints are the re-upholstery row: four to six dining chair seats are S$240 to S$480. Leather dining chairs that need a clean, not a new frame, are S$140 to S$220 on the leather page, and that visit does not rebuild the frame. Rattan chairs are the rattan page. Office chair gas lifts are not in the catalogue. Massage chairs are not in the catalogue. Both stay quote on inspection, and a massage chair is often a dealer part rather than a carpenter joint.
Homey Furnishing Pte. Ltd. (ACRA UEN 202018148K), 27 Mandai Estate, #06-10 Innovation Place, Singapore 729931, invoices permit-exempt furniture assembly and repair. V On Construction Pte. Ltd. (ACRA UEN 201611708H), on the HDB Directory of Renovation Contractors, invoices an HDB renovation permit when the work is a new layout, hacking, or a built-in strip-out. Homey Furnishing is not a removal company and does not publish a truck rate.
Curtains, blinds and roller shades are not part of this booking. Fabric window treatments are a different product, and these pages do not quote them.
What to do first
Look at the piece in the room. Do not drag a tall wardrobe across a wet floor to test it.
- Photograph the open joint, not only the pretty front.
- Say chair, table, cabinet door, or drawer.
- Press a screwdriver gently at the foot of any timber leg. If it sinks, stop.
- Do not mix a door-laminate price into a table top without saying it is a door.
- Expect quote on inspection for the joint itself.
| What you see | Safe check | Stop |
|---|---|---|
| Chair rocks, joint is open | No chair-joint row | Quote on inspection |
| Drawer slams or sticks | Drawer page | S$110 to S$220 for one to three slides |
| Cabinet door sags, carcass is dry | Hinge visit | S$50 to S$100, or from S$38 a door |
| Leg is soft at the floor | Termite or rot | Skirting and frame page, not paint |
HDB, condo and landed
The building changes the permission and the disposal path. It does not invent a second price.
| Question | HDB | Condo | Landed |
|---|---|---|---|
| HDB | A loose chair needs no permit. A wardrobe that must be hacked off the wall may. | Weekday drilling rules still apply if a new anchor is required. | Do not leave a broken frame in the corridor while you decide. |
| Condo | Same quote rule. MCST quiet hours if any drilling is needed. | A deposit is not a repair price. | Service lift if a table has to leave. |
| Landed | Same catalogue. Stairs are access. | Termites in a stair stringer are not a chair price. | No HDB permit for a loose chair. |
How you're charged
How you're charged
A furniture job that already has a sentence on HomeySG uses that sentence. Nothing in this table is a fuel surcharge, and the handyman hour is not added on top of a band unless the written scope says so. IKEA publishes its own checkout fee. That percentage is not a HomeySG band.
| Charge | What it covers | 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Published furniture band | The photo matches a row already on a furniture page | That row |
| Bed frame assembly | The bed row on the furniture assembly page | S$80 to S$150 |
| Wardrobe assembly | The wardrobe row, confirmed from photos | S$100 to S$650 |
| Cabinet door alignment | The hinge-adjustment visit on cabinet repair | S$50 to S$100 |
| Soft-close slides, 1 to 3 drawers | The drawer-runner page | S$110 to S$220 |
| Dining chair seats, 4 to 6 | Seat re-upholstery, not a new sofa | S$240 to S$480 |
| Custom carpentry, a truck, a full sofa re-cover, or rattan binding | No catalogue row for that product | quote on inspection |
Who may do the work
Who is allowed to do the work
The permit guide on this site already splits hardware from a renovation. A cabinet hinge, a gas strut and a drawer runner do not need an HDB renovation permit when the layout stays. A new kitchen or bathroom layout, hacking, or removing a wall does. Fines for unauthorised work are already written there as up to S$5,000. Homey Furnishing does not sign the permit invoice.
- Flat-pack assembly uses the furniture assembly catalogue. Tall units are wall-anchored on that visit. A separate anti-tip price is not printed, except the child-gate and anti-tip bundle at S$180 to S$420 when that bundle is the job.
- A built-in that has to come off the wall can become a strip-out. That is V On Construction if the flat is HDB and the work needs a permit. A loose shelf inside a carcass is not a strip-out.
- Town councils collect some bulky loose items on their own rules. We are not the collector, and we do not publish their fee.
- A new cable inside a wardrobe is an electrician. Assembly does not include a new circuit.
- Do not anchor into a household shelter wall. The permit guide already keeps TV brackets and shelves off that wall.
- A hollow partition or a false ceiling is a poor anchor for a tall wardrobe. If the fixing cannot reach structure, the visit stops.
- Active termites are not painted over. Skirting and door-frame replacement after damage uses the termite page bands. We do not claim to be the pest-control operator.
- Curtains, blinds and roller shades are not quoted here.
Ways to keep the bill smaller
Ways to keep the bill smaller
- Photograph every piece before a carpenter is booked. A hinge visit is not a new kitchen.
- Put the flat-pack in the room where it will stand. Carrying a built wardrobe down an HDB corridor is a second job.
- If the drawer only sticks, use the published slide row. A new carcass is the cabinet page, and only when the board is swollen.
- Book the town council bulky slot before you pay anyone to truck a loose sofa. Many councils collect a limited number of loose items. Built-ins are usually excluded.
- Tighten nothing with a longer screw into a stripped hole. The hole gets larger, and the quote gets harder.

Price, or quote on inspection
The priced neighbours are listed so a chair is not billed as a drawer, and a drawer is not billed as a chair.
Match a published band
Pick the job the photo actually is. The result is a band already printed on HomeySG, or quote on inspection. It does not add a new number.
Anything not in that table is quote on inspection.

|---|---|---|
| Chair wobble or table leg | quote on inspection | No catalogue row |
| Soft-close slides, 1 to 3 drawers | S$110 to S$220 | Drawer page |
| Cabinet door alignment | S$50 to S$100 a visit | Cabinet repair |
| Generic hinge | from S$38 a door | Cabinet repair |
| Door veneer or laminate patch | S$160 to S$350 | Door leaf, not a table top by default |
| Furniture refinishing | quote on inspection | Floor sanding is the parquet page |
