Leather Sofa Repairs and Restoration

Common problems with leather furniture can include colour loss due to spillages of household products e.g. paint, nail varnish, ink and incorrect cleaning products. Usually the colour can be restored using special pigments which are coloured to match your leather. The colours will then be sealed using a protective top coat finish. Other problems such as rips, scratches, broken stitching and broken frames can also be repaired by our trained technicians.

Leather Colour Restoration

Placing your leather sofa next to a heat source such as radiators or fires can dry out the natural oils, causing the leather to crack. The ultraviolet rays from direct sunlight over a period of time will cause fading.

Your local furniture repair and restoration technician can replace the individual panels that make up your leather sofa or chairs. A colour matched piece of leather can be stitched into place after removing the damaged piece.

Leather Scratch Repairs

Sharp objects like buckles, shoes and pets’ nails can cause small scuffs, cuts and scratches. These can be repaired using our precision leather repair and colour matching techniques.

If left unrepaired, areas of broken stitching will get worse. Using various traditional techniques broken stitching (including decorative stitching) can be repaired by hand.

To minimise inconvenience, smaller repairs are often carried out on site in your home.

Upholstery Filling Replacement

When leather sofas and other upholstered items are used often, the filling can often become flat and saggy.   Modern leather sofas are commonly bolted together – our technicians can easily dismantle them to allow the addition of extra fillings to the seat, back and arm cushions.
