Services Offered

We offer a full leather cleaning, repair & restoration service covering Gateshead, Newcastle, Sunderland, Durham and all other surrounding areas in Tyne & Wear, and County Durham.

We specialise in all aspects of leather: furniture, car interiors, handbags, clothes, shoes and all other leather types.

Re-Upholstery Services

• Panel Replacements: Replacing a panel with brand new leather when the damage is beyond cosmetic repair. We use specialist colour matching machinery to guarantee an exact colour match.

We have searched for a long time and now have access to a batch of original connolly leather - ideal for classic car interiors. We also have a very good supply of premium quality hides, which we use for furniture and modern car interiors.

• Re-padding & Filling: We create customised foam and padding to match the shape and size of cushions, arm rests & car seats.
• Spring Replacement & Webbing: For added firmness, comfort and support.
• Stitching: We can re-stitch leather either in your home/car - some larger jobs may need to be brought back to our workshop.

Adam spraying a two tone effect onto a leather arm chair.

The top coat of colour has worn off with use, which is being re-applied by airbrush. We match the colour exactly and spray it on in a way, which replicates the original two tone or mottled pattern.

Gary sewing two panels of leather together to be re-upholstered. This job was to replace the arms of an Ekorness Stressless leather chair.

We first remove the old leather and use it as a template to cut the panels. We then match the original colour exactly using a spectrophotometer, and spray to match. The leather is then sewn and re-upholstered.

Before we apply colour to leather we gently sand the surface down to create a lovely and smooth texture.

This makes the end result so much better, as it removes any roughness on the leather.

This Mercedes CLK 320 came in with colour loss to the back seat caused by a child’s car seat. She thought we would have replace the leather so when I told her it could be repaired she was delighted!

What made our job a little trickier was the fact her brother had tried to paint it himself using poster paints.

We used the prep to remove the paint. Matched the colour exactly and re-sprayed the areas of damage, we then sprayed a semi-matt finish over the repairs to seal our colour.

Last of all we applied a layer of protection cream to the seats to help stop that sort of damage re occurring as quick.
