Inside the Office

Welcome to our web site!

The Leather Doctors are your local specialists for the repair & restoration of leather furniture. It may be a scratch, scuff, tear, burn or stain on your leather sofa,  chair or even your car seat.  We can restore your leather to 'like  new' condition, leaving little or no evidence of the repair. Is your leather suite just looking shabby, worn or just seen better days?  Well, don't throw it away just yet as for a fraction of the cost of replacement it can usually be restored.

Are you having trouble trying to remove ingrained dirt & soiling? Then you need a deep clean from The Leather Doctors. We will carry out the work in your home, with care and attention to detail. The cost to professionally clean the avarage suite is between £95.00 - £200.00 + vat.  Use the EXPERTS as some general carpet/upholstery cleaners have made expensive mistakes over the years, as there are many different types of upholstery leather which require diffrent cleaning products.

Scratches & Scuffs

scratch-after9.jpg

In many cases, scratches & scuffs can be repaired almost invisibly. We do this by cleaning and sealing the affected area & then applying a perfectly colour matched finish, also matching the level of shine ie. full gloss, satin or matt etc. Normally this work can be carried out in your home and as a rough guide the repairs would take between 30 mins - 2 hours. Approx cost would be between £50 - £100.00 + vat  (contact us here)
Small Cuts, Tears & Burns
Smaller cuts, tears & burns can usually be repaired to a good standard. We use professional leather adhesives and fillers, then apply a colour matched finish as detailed above.
Larger Cuts, Tears & Burns
For larger cuts, tears & burns we would normally recommend that the affected panel is replaced.

BEFORE

Here you can see the back of a Jag car seat which has been cleaned and recoloured to remove the dye transfer.

AFTER

Dye transfer is . very common problem which mostly affects very light coloured leathers. It normally shows as a greyish haze which cannot be removed by normal cleaning. This occurs mainly on the seats, inside arms and lower parts of the inside back. The common cause of this is denim jeans and many other clothing items.  Scatter cushions & fabric throws can also cause this problem.

Removal of Stains & Marks

Pigmented leathers or protected leathers do not mark or stain easily apart from dye transfer as described above. We are often called upon to remove a variety of stains, ink/biro marks, curry and hair dye etc.

Restoration to areas of Colour Loss

Colour loss is something that we see quite a lot of. This is more common on the antique finished or two tone finished leathers where the dark top coat has been affected thus showing the lighter base colour.
