HOW TO PROPERLY REPAIR A TORN LEATHER SOFA?

WHY REPAIR THE LEATHER OF A SOFA?

Your leather sofa has been damaged, stained, scratched by cats or cracked. The good news is that this noble material can be easily repaired! As for leather clothes and shoes, products with repairing efficiency exist. They allow you to fill in tears while protecting the colours.
Be careful, if the hole is too big, the torn area will have to be stitched. A patch of fabric could be used to fill the hole.
Repairing a leather sofa (leather in English) means giving it a second life to integrate it perfectly into your home. This repair work is akin to craftsmanship, but the result is sometimes bluffing.

HOW TO REPAIR THE LEATHER OF YOUR SOFA?

LEATHER CAR SEAT RENOVATION TUTORIAL - SOFOLK

You will find many repair products sold in kit form, but most of them are of low quality. Our site specialising in leather renovation will advise you in the choice of items for the best possible repair of your leather sofa.

Our advice according to the leather of your sofa and the repairs to be carried out

Depending on the repairs to be carried out on your leather, several methods and products to renovate and repair leather are available. You will find on our site all possible techniques on all existing supports.
We invite you to go to sections such as the leather renovation or leather repair page, where you will find an outline of these working methods. We also offer them in specific pages according to the different supports.

Repair a torn leather sofa 

There are four steps to repairing a tear:

  1. Cleaning with light sanding with sandpaper of the tear to be repaired.
  2. Repair with paste or liquid leather. This repair phase can be repeated as many times as necessary.
  3. Colouring leather with particular attention to the dye used, which must be as close as possible to the original colour.
  4. Protect the leather armchair or sofa with a protective wax.
This technique can be applied to any type of leather furniture or accessory: sofa, armchair, clothing, shoes, bag, car seat, etc. It also works to eliminate cat scratches on leather..

IS IT POSSIBLE TO HAVE INVISIBLE LEATHER REPAIRED?

To obtain an absolutely invisible result, it is more than advisable to colour after repairing leather sofas with our products.
Ideally, plan to renovate the entire sofa and not just the damaged part, otherwise the difference in appearance would be visible either in colour or in the finish (varnish). By applying the colour to all the cushions and seats, you will obtain a perfect result. See some examples of leather sofas repaired with our products.
Renovating your entire leather armchair or sofa will allow you to obtain a homogeneous surface and colour. Whether your leather sofa is black, white or any other colour, the tear or scratch will not be visible anymore.

WHAT PRODUCTS CAN BE USED TO REPAIR LEATHER?

The repair is done in several stages: cleaning, repair, colouring and protection. For each step, there is a suitable product. But beware, depending on the type of leather, some of them will be more or less effective. These cleaning, repair or protection products are available on our site and in delivery. 
Consult all our renovation products for leather armchairs and sofas: cleaning product, repair kit, repair paste, leather dye, repair gel, leather patch to be laminated, colour retouching kit, etc. For a quick repair of the leather of your sofa, you can use a repair kit for 2/3 seater leather sofas with recolouring. 
If you don't want to repair a leather sofa by yourself, call a professional. Renovating a leather sofa can be delicate depending on the location of the tear and its surface. Ask for a free estimate for the repair of your leather sofa. The work of a professional craftsman promises a successful renovation of the fabric with imperceptible stitches.

CAN THE SAME PRODUCTS BE USED TO REPAIR A IMITATION LEATHER SOFA?

The imitation leather sofas are made from chemicals. If the surface is torn or punctured, the repair technique and tips will be different. The care, cleaning, colouring or repair products will also be different.
Articles are available for synthetic coverings such as imitation leather. A repair kit for vinyl leather sofas is available. In the form of a repair paste or patch, these quality products are suitable for imitation leather and leatherette.
