Technicians trained by Leather Repair Center

Alexander Evstafiev has taught the repair and recoloring methods we use in San Diego to technicians who now run their own businesses in other cities. Each of them has a page here: who they are, how they came to the trade, and the work they do now.

These are independent businesses. Each technician owns and operates their own company and sets their own prices, schedule and warranty.

The training

What every technician learns

Training happens in person in San Diego and ends with practical tests.

1

Structural repair

Tears, cuts and holes sub-patched from behind, filled in thin layers and finished to the surrounding grain.

2

Color matching on site

Color mixed in daylight against the customer's own leather, with grain and sheen recreated so repairs blend in.

3

Full recoloring

Cleaning, prepping and re-dyeing a whole piece that has faded or worn through, then sealing it.
