Repair or replace? We say which, and why.
Leather furniture insurance claim repair starts with the question the file needs answered: can this piece be put right, or is it a total loss?
Repair it
When the piece can be saved
- Damage is on the surface: stains, scuffs, color loss
- Tears or punctures in a panel that can be replaced
- Seams opened, cushions or foam affected
- The frame and springs are sound
Replace it
When repair is not the honest answer
- The frame is cracked or warped by water
- The hide has split along stress lines
- Contamination we cannot safely clean
- Repair would cost more than the piece is worth
A repair can also come in under the policyholder's deductible, which is worth knowing before a claim is opened.
