Absolutely amazing experience with Alexander. He made our couch look brand new after our kittens had left scratches. He was great at communication, punctual and respectful. Would definitely recommend his work and have him fix our couch in the future :)

I highly recommend this company to anyone who wants to master leather restoration. A big thank you to Alexander for an outstanding training experience. I learned how to restore leather couches and other furniture, and he was extremely knowledgeable, making sure I understood every practical detail of the craft. I now feel fully confident in my skills. Thank you for your professionalism and support.

Alex did an outstanding job fixing a dye transfer stain on a leather car seat. His work was beautiful (it looks brand new), his price was fair, and he was really pleasant to work with. I'd recommend him without hesitation.

Alexander did a great job fixing a small cut on our 1960 T-Bird back seat. The color and texture was better than our expectations! We finally had to tell Alex to stop as he is a true perfectionist! We also appreciated his honesty in telling us that our RV vinyl would be more practical to replace than repair. He could have repaired them, but advised us that the damage would continue do to poor quality of vinyl used by the manufacturer.

Alex did an amazing job fixing the dashboard crack on my truck! You can’t even tell it was there. Great work, very reasonable on the price and a pleasant person to deal with. I will likely have him come back to refresh my bottom front seat bolsters.

Alex and his team did a fantastic job with car seat repair for our old SAAB. My husband is very happy. They took time and care to sand, polish, spray, matched the color perfectly, very satisfied customers here!

I had a vintage Chanel bag that needed a new top coat and Alexander and his staff provided amazing service, including home pick up and drop off. All throughout the process, Alexander was very responsive, and the bag came back beautiful. The price was incredibly reasonable, as well. I will definitely be a returning customer!

Couch problems we fix

Where leather couches and sofas wear out — and how we fix each spot

Cat claw scratches on a brown leather sofa

Cat scratches on arms and seat fronts

Cats go for the front of the arms and the edge of the seat. Each scratch is filled, re-grained and color-matched, so the arm looks like the rest of the couch again.

Filling a crack in a brown leather couch

Tears in seat cushions

A tear from keys, a buckle or a dog’s claw gets a sub-patch from behind and is filled flush with the surface — strong enough for everyday sitting. We fix tears up to about palm size.

Worn leather sofa armrest

Cracked seats and worn armrests

The middle seat and the arms take the most wear. Dry, cracked and rubbed-through leather is cleaned, filled, recolored and sealed, so the whole couch wears evenly again.

Burn mark and ink stain on brown leather

Headrest marks, stains and dye transfer

Hair oil darkens the top of the back cushions, and new jeans leave blue marks on light couches. We remove or refinish the stain and blend the color back in.

Applying leather dye to a faded sofa cushion

Sun-faded backs and cushions

A couch by a window fades on the back and on the side facing the sun. We recolor the faded parts — or the whole couch — to one even color.

Replacing a power recliner motor

Reclining couches and sectionals

Manual and power reclining sofas and sectionals: we fix the leather and a stuck or noisy mechanism in the same visit.

Couches we work on

Every kind of leather couch and sofa

From a two-seat loveseat to a large modular sectional — genuine leather of any age and brand, in homes across San Diego County.

The leather we repair — and how

Most common

Protected (pigmented) leather

A colored finish on top of the hide. Water beads up on the surface. Scratches, cracks and wear repair almost invisibly, and the whole piece can be recolored.

Soft and natural

Semi-aniline leather

A light protective coat over dyed leather. Water soaks in slowly. Repairs blend well; we match both the color and the soft sheen.

What we don't repair: peeling bonded or faux leather. That surface keeps flaking after any repair, so replacement is the honest answer — we'll tell you from the photos. Small cuts, cracks and punctures in vinyl we can fix.
Repair or replace?

When a leather couch or sofa is worth repairing — and when it is not

A new quality leather couch usually costs $3,000 or more, and a sectional often much more. Repairing it usually costs a fraction of that. The final price depends on the damage and how much work is needed. From your photos we’ll tell you straight which side of the line your couch is on.

Worth repairing

  • Genuine leather with a solid frame and firm cushions
  • Scratches, tears or cracks on a few cushions or arms
  • Faded, patchy or worn color — even across the whole piece
  • A designer, heirloom or hard-to-replace couch

Better to replace

  • Bonded or faux leather that is peeling or flaking
  • Leather torn or dried through across most cushions — that needs reupholstery
  • An inexpensive couch where a repair would cost close to a new one
Our process

How we repair a leather couch or sofa in your living room

  1. Clean and prepThe damaged area is deep-cleaned and the old finish and body oils are removed so the repair bonds.
  2. Repair the damageTears get a sub-patch from behind; cracks, scratches and holes are filled in thin layers and the grain is recreated.
  3. Match the colorWe mix the color on site against your leather in daylight and apply it in thin, even coats.
  4. Seal and protectA protective topcoat in the original sheen — matte, satin or gloss — so the repair wears like the rest of the piece.

FAQ

Leather couch and sofa repair questions

Our minimum is $150 for a small repair, such as a single scratch or a small tear; larger damage costs more. The price depends on how many spots need work, how large they are and whether the whole couch needs recoloring — one scratched arm costs far less than a sectional with several worn cushions. Outside the city a travel fee may apply depending on distance; it is included in the quote. Text us photos for an exact price.

Yes — it is one of the repairs we do most. Light scratches are sealed and recolored; deeper claw marks on the arms and seat fronts are filled, re-grained and color-matched so they disappear into the leather.

Yes, tears up to about palm size. We slide a sub-patch behind the tear, bond the edges, fill it in thin layers and recreate the grain. Bigger holes, or leather torn across most of a cushion, need reupholstery, which we don’t do — we’ll tell you from the photos.

No. We come to your home anywhere in San Diego County and repair the couch where it stands. Just leave a little space around it — we bring drop cloths, tools and materials.

Most repairs are done in a single visit, usually in a few hours. Recoloring a whole couch or a large sectional can take longer — we’ll tell you when we quote.

We mix the color on site against your leather in daylight and match the sheen, so the repaired cushion or arm blends in with the rest of the couch.

If it is genuine leather with a worn finish, yes. A peeling bonded or faux leather couch can’t be repaired reliably — the surface keeps flaking — so we’ll tell you honestly from the photos.

Every repair comes with a 1-year warranty.

Leather couch and sofa repair across San Diego County

San Diego is hard on leather couches. Strong sun through big windows fades back cushions and armrests, dry Santa Ana winds pull moisture out of the hide, and pets add their share of scratches. We repair couches every week in homes from the coast to East County — and fix it on site, usually in one visit.
