When leather sofas are exposed to a great deal of everyday wear, they become more liable to damage unlike their fabric alternatives. Once the top coat of the leather begins to wear away, stains can easily occur thanks to the children, household pets or even yourself! Here are just a few examples of leather colour damage we can repair:
In most cases maker, pen ink and dye cannot be cleaned or removed from leather. Ink penetrates the top coat of leather, which is frequently exposed wear. This thinning down of the top coat makes it easier for stains to seep through, making your furniture look old and tired. Our team of leather care specialists clean and prepare the affected area before mixing and applying the matching colour. The repairs are not only strong and flexible, but give your sofa and living space the 'show room standard'.
Leather's top coat can become weak due to everyday wear or poor manufacturing. Natural oils such as those from hair and skin can penetrate the top coat and saturate the porous leather leaving a darker patch in its place. The cheaper option is often to replace the top coat of the affected area with a durable, flexible pigment colour which matches the surrounding leather. Instead the affected leather panels can be replaced with brand new leather that matches the surround.
Leather can change colour when the top coat has broken down. Dye from clothes (mainly dark jeans) can transfer from the fabric to the leather whilst sun light exposure bleaches the leather's colour. We clean and prepare the affected areas before mixing and applying the matching colour. The repairs are not only strong and flexible, but give your sofa and living space the 'show room standard'.
Everyday wear can remove leather top coat, this problem is most common in two toned suites, where the top colour is removed exposing a different colour underneath. Natural oils from hair and skin can also cause this breakdown. We clean and prepare the affected areas before mixing and applying the matching colour. The repairs are not only strong and flexible, but give your sofa and living space the 'show room standard'.
