Our Leather Restoration Process
Photo or Workshop Assessment
Send us photographs or arrange an inspection at our Perth workshop. We assess the material, condition, colour and extent of the damage.
Cleaning
We remove body oils, dirt, sunscreen and previous product residue from the working area. Cleaning reveals the actual condition of the surface and prepares it for repair.
Surface Preparation
Loose or damaged finish is removed where necessary. The area is prepared so repairs and colour treatments can adhere consistently.
Repair
Suitable cracks, scratches, scuffs and damaged areas are repaired using products and techniques selected for automotive leather.
Colour Matching and Recolouring
We match the required colour to the surrounding interior and apply it in controlled layers. The objective is to achieve an even finish that blends with the existing leather.
Protection
After the repair or recolouring has finished, a suitable protective treatment can be applied to help make cleaning and ongoing maintenance easier.
Final Inspection
The completed surface is inspected before the vehicle is returned. We also explain how to clean and care for the restored area.
Before And After
Frequently Asked Questions
Can cracked car leather be repaired?
Many surface cracks, scuffs and worn areas can be repaired. The result depends on the depth of the damage and whether the underlying material remains structurally sound. Severely damaged leather may require retrimming.
Can you repair a worn driver-seat bolster?
Yes. We can assess surface wear, scratches, cracks, colour loss and suitable tears affecting driver-seat bolsters.
Can a peeling leather steering wheel be restored?
Many worn, faded and peeling leather steering wheels can be repaired and recoloured. Clear photographs will help us determine whether restoration is suitable.
Can you restore sticky car buttons?
Suitable sticky, peeling or faded buttons and control panels may be restored. The available treatment depends on the material, design and condition of the component.
Can you reproduce faded button symbols?
Suitable symbols and surface details may be recreated using precision laser restoration. We need to inspect the component or review clear photographs before confirming the work.
Can you match the original leather colour?
We carefully match repaired areas to the surrounding interior. Results depend on the leather’s age, fading, previous treatments and earlier repairs.
Does leather protection repair existing damage?
No. Leather protection is a preventative treatment. Cracks, tears, peeling and colour loss should be repaired or restored before protection is applied.
Will leather protection make the seats shiny or slippery?
The protection is selected to retain a natural appearance rather than create an oily, excessively glossy or greasy finish.
Is leather protection suitable for a new car?
Yes. New vehicles are ideal candidates because the leather has not yet developed significant staining, colour transfer or surface wear.
Can you treat synthetic leather or vinyl?
Selected synthetic leather and vinyl surfaces may be cleaned, restored or protected. We inspect the material before recommending a treatment.
How much does car leather restoration cost?
Pricing depends on the service, number of affected areas, material and extent of the damage. Send us clear photographs with your vehicle’s make, model and year for an initial assessment.
How long does leather protection last?
Durability depends on the selected product, vehicle usage, cleaning routine and amount of contact. Driver seats and steering wheels usually experience greater wear than less frequently used areas.
