Damages We Repair

If it's leather, we can probably fix it.

After 30+ years and thousands of restorations, very little surprises us. Here's a look at the most common issues our clients bring in.

01

Cuts, Tears & Punctures

Structural repair with color-matched fills and re-grained finishes so the repair vanishes into the surrounding hide.

02

Pet Damage

Scratches, chews, and claw marks from cats, dogs, birds, and small mammals. We rebuild the surface layer by layer.

03

Cigarette Burns & Heat

Small burns, iron marks, and heat damage. We rebuild the burned area and refinish to match the surrounding leather.

04

Sun Fading & Discoloration

Aniline and semi-aniline leathers fade fast in daylight. A light color coat restores the original tone.

05

Ink Stains & Body Oils

Ballpoint, marker, hair product oils, and headrest wear. Deep cleaning followed by re-finishing where needed.

06

Split & Torn Seams

Overstressed or weak seams are re-sewn with matching thread and reinforced from behind where accessible.

07

Scrapes & Abrasions

Everyday wear on armrests, cushion edges, and bolsters. Repigmentation restores the intended color and sheen.

08

Cracking & Dryness

Neglected leather becomes brittle. Deep conditioning followed by protective finish extends life by years.

09

Peeling Bi-Cast / Bonded

Coating failure on lower-grade leathers. Targeted resurfacing or re-coating when full replacement isn't warranted.

10

Bullet Holes

Yes, really. We've patched a few over the years — no questions asked.
