How An Edge Grows

Small split starting at a leather seam01An edge opens

It usually starts at a seam, a fold or a burn.

Splits branching out beside a seam02Use pulls it

Every sit stretches the tip a little further into sound leather.

Adhesive applied into a split to stop it03We stop the tip

Bonded from behind so the split cannot run any further.

Torn leather edge consolidated from behind04Then we close it

Backed with a sub-patch, filled, grained and colored.

Common Questions

Can a small tear wait a month?
If nobody sits there, often. If it is a seat, it will be bigger by then. Leather repair Bronx visits price both now.
Is fading urgent?
No. It looks bad but does not spread. Conditioning slows it.
Should I glue it myself?
Please don't. Hardened glue has to be cut out first, which makes the hole bigger.
Is the visit free?
Yes, with a written quote that says which damage is urgent.
How fast can you come?
Usually within the same week for open edges. All services.
What if it is past repair?
Then reupholstery. We say so on the visit, before any work starts.
