Full Leather Sofa Restoration

Full leather sofa restoration gives the whole sofa a fresh look: we remove the signs of wear, even out the color and renew the protective finish on every seat, armrest and backrest. It takes one working day.

How we do it:

  1. We deep clean the leather and remove body oil and dark spots from the headrests and armrests.
  2. We repair cracks, tears and scratches in the leather.
  3. We match the original color of your sofa and apply it in one solid tone or recreate the patina.
  4. We finish with a new protective top coat.

You can use the sofa after 24 hours. For two weeks after the restoration, cleaners and leather conditioners should not be used on it. After that, you care for it as usual.

Tears, Cuts and Pet Damage

A tear or a cut in the leather, or claw and bite marks from a cat or a dog, don't always need a full restoration. We repair only the damaged areas and match the color, so they don't stand out on the sofa. A repair like this usually takes 2–3 hours.

Worn Seat Cushions: Reupholstery

The seats carry the most weight, so they wear out before the other parts of the sofa. When the leather on the seats is torn, thin or worn through and restoration is no longer worth doing, the right solution is to reupholster the seat cushions.

Often we replace only the top panel if the rest of the cushion is in good condition. We pick new leather with the same texture and thickness and dye it by hand, repeating the color and the pattern of your sofa, so the new seats look like part of it, not like a patch. We also have a range of ready-made samples of quality genuine leather.

1-year warranty on the seams and the work.

Only the seat tops were reupholstered in new leather matched to the sofa. The back cushions, arms and base kept their original leather and were restored.

Sagging Cushions: New Foam and Filling

Over time, the foam in the seats and the filling in the back cushions wear out, and the cushions sag, most of all where people sit the most. In the seats, we replace or add foam of the right firmness. In the back cushions, we add soft filling. The cushions look even and feel comfortable again. This can be done together with the restoration, during the same visit.

When the Whole Sofa Is Worn Out

If the leather across the whole sofa is dry, thin and tearing in many places, restoration will not hold up for long. In this case, full reupholstery with new leather is the better choice. We can tell which one your sofa needs from the photos.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the repair be visible?

Usually not. We thoroughly restore the leather surface, hand-mix a matching color and carefully blend the repaired area. If some damage can't be fully hidden, we'll tell you in advance.

Can you recolor only the worn areas?

We can, but we usually recommend restoring the whole sofa. A new layer of color and a new protective top coat over the whole sofa keep the color even and last much longer.

Do I need to move the sofa?

No. We do the work at your home. Only the seat cushions go to our workshop if they need to be reupholstered.

Can you change the color of my sofa?

Yes. We can give the whole sofa a new color, in one solid tone or with a patina, depending on your sofa. See examples of recolored furniture →
