Leather Repair!

SO..... Let's Talk Leather....

You have leather furniture! Awesome! It is beautiful, glossy, smooth, luxurious, timeless, EXPENSIVE, and a signature piece in your home.

What happens when the family dog or cat jumps on it, and their nails scratch up that once pristine and smooth seat cushion??? Or something sharp on some one's clothes or shoes puts a deep scratch, maybe even a rip into that seat? Sometimes the placement of your leather in your home has lead to color loss and fading from too much sun exposure. High traffic areas often fade as well, simply from being sat on day to day over several years.

Thankfully,  THERE IS A SOLUTION! Leather repair is an amazing remedy, and an often overlooked option! Leather repairs are super effective at restoring the look and feel, and even the color of your leather furniture...and much more cost effective than replacing that leather furniture!

Leather Scratch Repair

Leather furniture is one hell of an expensive investement and it is something that most folks keep for many many years.
Over time, of course, everything begins to show its age. Leather furniture can become faded, dingy, rip, tear, have scratches from pets and from day to day use. The seams can split. The color can fade away. The sun fades the finish, and sometimes you just may tire of the color all together.
This is where leather repair comes in! Leather repair to your leather furniture can completely salvage your investment so that you can continue to get many years out of that investment.

St. Louis Leather Repair will assess the situation with your leather furniture and decide the best option for leather repair! It's that simple, and then they will come right to you at your location to do the repairs on site.  No need to drag that huge sectional or leather recliner to a shop somewhere and then have to haul it home once repaired, risking damages to yourself and to your leather! Nope. We come to you. And do the repairs right before your very eyes.

Once the leather is assessed for the type of leather repair needed, St. Louis Leather Repair's skilled technicians will carefully clean and prep the entire area before the repairs are begun.  Next the area is dried with heat to ensure the leather repair will bond effectively. Leather repairs are preformed according to the types of damage to your leather furniture. Finally, the technicians will then custom match the color of your leather furniture by hand blending a custom dye on site to exactly match your leather. It is air brush applied by hand evenly to smooth away any trace of age or leather repairs. The dye is cured with heated air to bond it with the leather fully, and then a sealing and glossy top coat is applied to lock in the smooth and lusterous finish your leather furniture has once again.

And that's all it takes! Your leather furniture will look just as good the day it arrived off of the showroom floor and into your home! Check out a video or two if you want to see the process in depth!
