Rattan chair and furniture repair
Rattan chair repair, rebinding and a broken frame are quote on inspection. No cane price is printed. A wash of teak, rattan or outdoor cushions is S$180 to S$380 on the patio cleaning page, and that visit does not supply new bindings or new covers.

How it works
- 1
Send one photo of each piece, the block, and whether the home is HDB, condo or landed.
- 2
We match a band already printed on HomeySG, or we say quote on inspection.
- 3
A layout change, hacking, or a built-in strip-out is named as V On Construction. A truck is not included.
- 4
You confirm the scope before anyone comes. Curtains, blinds and roller shades stay off the booking.
What this job actually is
Rattan repair Singapore, rattan chair repair, and rattan furniture repair are a small autocomplete cluster with real intent. The work is a binding that has unwrapped, a cane seat that has split, or a frame that rocks. None of those has a published band. Quote on inspection. A competitor handyman page may show a call-out. It is not copied here. Send a photo of the break and of the whole chair so the quote is about that chair, not about a generic rattan object.
The priced neighbour is a wash. The balcony and patio page prices teak, rattan or outdoor cushion and frame washing at S$180 to S$380. The includes line says cushion extraction and a frame wash, and new covers are not supplied. If your rattan is dirty from a condo balcony and the bindings are intact, book that wash. If the binding is gone, the wash price is the wrong sentence. Do not ask the cleaning crew to re-weave cane inside a wash.
Indoor rattan in an HDB living room fails for the same climate reasons as outdoor rattan, plus air-conditioning that dries cane and then a rainy week that swells it. Joints open. A wobbly rattan chair is the furniture repair problem as well as a cane problem, and the chair joint is also quote on inspection. Dining chair seat re-upholstery at S$240 to S$480 is for four to six upholstered seats, not for a cane hole. Do not stretch it.
Termites will eat a rattan frame that sits on a damp balcony or against a soft skirting. Probe the joint. If it is soft, stop. Skirting replacement after termites is published on the termite page. The rattan piece itself stays a quote, and we do not claim a pest-control licence on this page. Painting the cane to hide frass makes the next repair harder.
A rattan set that is finished and must leave a condo balcony is bulky disposal, not a repair. Town council bulky services are for HDB residents, not for a condo. The MCST sets the balcony and the service-lift rule. We do not publish that fee. We also do not sell a new rattan suite, a blind, or an awning on this page. The patio page mentions awnings because that is its cleaning scope. This repair page does not quote a new awning.
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 broken binding and the joint.
- Say indoor chair or balcony set.
- If it is only grey and the cane is whole, use the wash row.
- If a probe sinks, do not book a wash as the repair.
- Expect quote on inspection for rebinding.
| What you see | Safe check | Stop |
|---|---|---|
| Dirty, bindings intact | Patio wash | S$180 to S$380 |
| Cane unwrapped or seat split | No binding row | Quote on inspection |
| Frame rocks | Joint repair | Quote on inspection |
| Joint is soft | Possible termites | Stop, do 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 balcony rattan set is still not the town council if you live in a condo by mistake. | Do not leave broken cane in the corridor. | Service yard humidity is the usual storey. |
| Condo | Balcony wash is the patio page if it is dirt. MCST rules for the balcony. | Repair stays quote on inspection. | No town council bulky service. |
| Landed | A verandah set is the same quote. Rain and sun are harsher. | No HDB permit. | Do not use the patio wash as a rebinding price. |
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.
- Do not paint over a soft joint. If a probe sinks in, the frame is not a wash.
