Short answer

It depends on the damage

Most couches we see need more than a touch-up: several worn cushions, scratched arms on both sides, or faded color across the whole piece. Those jobs take more material and more hours, so they cost more. Our minimum is $150, and that covers one small repair, such as a single scratch or a small tear.

We don’t publish a price list, because two “scratched arms” can be very different jobs. Instead, you send 2–3 photos and we reply with a firm price, usually the same day.

Real jobs from our clients, from small to large:

What moves the price

Five things that decide the cost

  • How many areas need work. One arm is a small job; every seat cushion on a sectional is a big one.
  • How large and deep the damage is. Surface scratches are quicker than tears that need a sub-patch from behind.
  • How much color work is needed. Matching the color on a few spots is less work than recoloring every panel of a faded couch.
  • The type of leather. Protected (pigmented) leather is the most common and the most predictable to repair. Semi-aniline takes more care to match the soft sheen.
  • Where you live. There is no travel fee inside the City of San Diego, including La Jolla. Farther out, a travel fee by distance is included in the quote.
First 24–48 hours: light use only; keep sharp or heavy items off the repaired area.
First week: no cleaners or conditioners on the repaired spot.
After that: follow your regular routine and keep the piece out of direct sun.

Repair or replace

When repair is worth the money

A new quality leather couch usually costs $3,000 or more, and a sectional often much more. If the frame is solid and the leather is genuine, repairing the worn spots costs a fraction of that.

Repair is not worth it for bonded or faux leather that is peeling — the surface keeps flaking after any repair. It is also not the answer when leather is torn or dried through across most cushions; that needs reupholstery, which we don’t do. We will tell you honestly from the photos.
