Recovering & Bumpers

Worn cloth is the most common reason a good table plays poorly. Cloth that has thinned, pilled, or stretched loses its consistency. Balls roll differently in different parts of the table, speed is unpredictable, and English becomes unreliable. The fix is straightforward: new cloth, professionally installed.

We recover with Simonis and Championship cloth, the two brands used on professional and tournament tables worldwide. Simonis 860 is the worsted wool cloth of choice for serious players and commercial rooms. Championship offers a wider color range and an excellent play surface at a more accessible price. We carry both in 26-plus colors and can walk you through the right choice for your room, your playing level, and your table.

The installation matters as much as the cloth. Cloth that is stretched unevenly, stapled with inconsistent tension, or applied over a slate surface that was not properly cleaned will not play correctly no matter how good the cloth is. Our crew installs cloth the same way every time: tight, even, properly finished at the rails and pockets.

Reclothing prices are quote-based. Call us with your table size and cloth preference and we will give you a number. We also replace cushion rubber when the cushions have lost their rebound response. A table with dead cushions and new cloth is still a table with dead cushions.

Recovering is available in Tier 1 and Tier 2 markets. Extended Tier 3 markets (130+ miles) are delivery and setup only. Call us if you are in a Tier 3 city and need recovering and we will discuss options.

Frequently Asked

What cloth brands do you use?
We install Simonis and Championship cloth, the two brands used on professional and tournament tables worldwide. Simonis 860 is the worsted wool standard for serious players and commercial rooms. Championship offers a wider color range at a more accessible price. Both are available in 26-plus colors.
How much does recover cost?
Reclothing is quote-based. Pricing depends on table size, cloth selection, and whether cushion replacement is needed. Call us at (901) 290-6271 with your table size and cloth preference and we will give you a straightforward number.
Do you replace cushions as well?
Yes. If your cushions have lost their rebound response (balls die on the rail rather than kicking back cleanly), cushion replacement is the fix. We assess cushion condition on every refinishing visit and will tell you honestly whether replacement is needed.
How long does recovering take?
A standard recover on a residential table takes two to three hours. We remove the old cloth, clean the slate surface, install new cloth, and re-seat the rails. The table is playable the same day.
Is recovering available in all your service cities?
Recovering is a standard service in our Priority and Secondary markets, listed on our Service Area page. In our Extended markets, delivery and setup are the standard offering. If you're in an Extended market and need your table recovered, call us and we'll talk through what's possible.

“Brooks Billiards was absolutely amazing to work with. They answered all our questions about recovering our table and new bumpers. They had several felt options and colors it made all the difference in picking out the perfect color. They knew we were trying to get our table covered before a holiday and called us when they got our felt in sooner than expected so we got it done when we needed.”

“Greg and his team did a fantastic job! Especially Greg, who was very meticulous and ensured the table was set up right. I am extremely happy with the service and would happily recommend him to anyone looking for a pool table to buy and have set up right!”

“I purchased a beautiful pool table from Brooks Billiards. They did an excellent job helping me choose a pool table that matched my style and complemented my room. They delivered the pool table on the agreed date and installed it professionally. I highly recommend Brooks Billiards if you are in the market for a quality-built and professionally installed pool table.”
