Past repair

When commercial leather upholstery repair stops working

Repair works when damage is in one place. When it is everywhere, patching only moves it. These four signs mean new leather. Local damage belongs to commercial leather repair.

What we recover

The new leather

Contract leather, chosen for the room

Reupholstery is when the leather can change. Hides come from contract tanneries such as Sørensen Leather, cut from one lot so a whole run matches.

Semi-anilineSofter hand with light protection, for lounges.

Questions

Commercial leather upholstery repair FAQ

Repair or reupholstery: how do you decide?
Commercial leather upholstery repair fits local damage on sound leather. Peeling, cracking through or splits in several places mean the leather is finished, so we recover it.
Can fixed booths be reupholstered on site?
Yes. Built-in booths and banquettes are recovered in place, usually overnight. Templates and panels are prepared beforehand, so the night is fitting.
What happens to loose chairs and sofas?
They go to our workshop, are stripped to the frame and have the base corrected before new leather is fitted. Pickup and delivery are arranged for you.
Will a whole room match?
Yes, when it is done together. The hides are chosen once and cut for every piece, so color and grain run consistently across the room.
Can we change the color or the leather?
Yes. Reupholstery is the moment to change both. We help pick a contract grade that suits how the room is used and cleaned.
Is there a minimum project size?
Commercial leather upholstery repair projects start at five units. Single pieces go through our residential service.
