In many cases, damaged leather seats can be repaired without full retrimming. Surface cracks, colour wear, scuffs, bolster wear, small holes and minor tears can often be repaired and colour-matched to the surrounding leather. However, if the leather is badly stretched, heavily split, structurally weak or missing large sections, retrimming may be a better long-term option. We assess each job based on the condition of the leather, the location of the damage and the finish you are expecting.

Not always. Recolouring alone does not repair the underlying crease, crack or surface damage. If colour is applied directly over damaged leather, the finish may not last and the same marks can quickly return. For a more durable result, the area usually needs to be cleaned, prepared, repaired and blended before colour is applied. This helps the repaired area look better and last longer.

We use a colour-matching device to help identify the closest colour formula for your vehicle’s interior. The colour is then adjusted and blended by hand to match the surrounding leather as closely as possible. Because leather naturally ages, fades and develops different texture over time, the final result can depend on the condition, grain and previous repairs on the surface. Our goal is to achieve a natural-looking repair that blends well with the original interior while preserving as much of the existing leather as possible.cement.

The easiest way to get a quote is to send clear photos of the damage, along with your car make, model, year and suburb. Please include both close-up photos and wider photos showing the full seat, steering wheel, dashboard or door trim. Once we review the photos, we can advise whether the damage is repairable, what type of repair is suitable and whether the job can be completed by mobile service or at our workshop.
