How A Hole Gets Closed

A new panel never matches an aged hide, so the original is rebuilt where it stands, usually in the same visit.

Common Questions

Can you replace just one panel?
We can, but a new panel rarely matches an aged hide in color or grain. Repair usually looks better and costs less.
Is the visit free?
Yes, with a written quote.
Is the work done at home?
Mostly. Holes, seams, color and zips are done in the room. Full recovers and frame work go to the bench.
Can a burn be repaired?
Yes. It is filled, grained and colored like a hole. See scratches for pet damage.
What if the hide is bonded leather?
Peeling bonded leather cannot be rebuilt, because there is no real hide under the surface. We say so, and suggest reupholstery.
Do you fix vinyl and fabric?
Yes, vinyl and fabric too.
