I have quite a few pieces of Oceans rattan garden furniture, which I bought from the previous owner of my property as part of the overall purchase.

Several pieces are now becoming worn and need repair. I messaged Oceans, who don't offer a repair service and couldn't recommend a repairer (presumably as they want me to buy new replacement furniture!).

Can anyone recommend a company that can repair this type of furniture?

TIA

We had a similar problem with items purchased from a company in  Albox. The problem is that the weave usually goes throughout the item (sofa for example) so, they cannot replace just one section.

Looks like you will have to replace the whole thing. Sorry !

Talk to the company you purchased from, as we  did and maybe…… just maybe, you can come to an arrangement.

Good luck.

Hi, 

You could possibly repair it yourself ? You can buy the necessary items online & YouTube how to do it yourself.

Possibly use matching tape to cover it up & maybe put you on for another season or so.

Furniture here is so expensive.

All the best.

Kindest Regards 

Sue

The material used sadly goes brittle if you expose it to the sun - useful for outdoor furniture,

Ours (British-made from Fred) lasted less than 4 years before it started shedding bits like a mangy cat.

Chuck it away and buy a metal-framed set.

Just replace it with non woven rattan style furniture it just doesnt last in the sun and becomes brittle and splits and breaks….

Thanks for the various advice.

There is quite a lot of furniture so it will be costly to replace all and I don't want to have non-matching pieces!

I'll have a look at trying to repair it myself to maybe make it last a couple more summers - learning rattan weaving could help pass the time over the winter!
