The color green has long been the traditional color of choice for billiards tables, but nowadays many people are opting for a different color to give their table a unique look. Many refelters will offer a selection of solid colors other than green, and some may also provide coverings that feature a fun pattern or image as well.

In most cases, the refelting procedure can be completely carried out in the customer's home, which is much more convenient for everyone involved. After obtaining the proper measurements for the surface, the worker will cut the felt to the right size, remove the table's rails and staples, and strip the slate surface of the old glue, in order to prepare if for the new adhesive.

Adhesive will be thinly spread to cover the surface and then the cut felt covering will be slowly and carefully placed over it. The felt cover selected by the customer will be stretched in all directions to ensure an even, flat contact with the underlying slate. Once it is in place and perfectly smooth, new staples will be affixed to the edges where the old ones were.

If the rails need recovering as well, they will be disassembled and this will be done before they are put back on. The new covering will be left to stand for a day with weights on top of it, and after this time has passed, it will be okay for people to play on it once again.
