Whether the leather repair is worth it depends on the extent of the damage, the cost to repair, and the value of the leather item. If the leather is part of an item that’s very expensive to replace, then attempting to repair it may be worth it. Also, if the leather piece holds great sentimental value, it’s worth restoration or repair, if possible.
Most leather sofa repairs cost between $100 and $400. A small repair, like a single scratch or tear, may cost between about $100 and $150. However, larger, more complex repairs that may require total reupholstery can cost up to $4,000, depending on the type of leather, the build of the sofa, and the time required to complete the work. A leather repair specialist will provide an estimate based on the specific project and its damage.
Leather patches can last anywhere from two to 20 years, depending on use, maintenance, and the environment the leather is in. The longevity of the leather repair also depends on the nature of the original damage and the repairs required. Consult a leather repair specialist about how to make your leather fix last as long as possible.
It’s possible to repair damaged leather as long as the damage is not too severe. Professional leather repair specialists can fill, smooth, and refinish damage like scratches, cracks, and other damage by color matching the rest of the leather. Leather repair pros can evaluate the damage and recommend a plan for repair or replacement. If the leather is on furniture or another item that’s difficult or impossible to replace, repair is the best option, even if the repair does not match perfectly.
When deciding whether to repair your leather furniture or not, consider a few advantages and disadvantages:
Pros
Less expensive than buying a new piece
Extends the life of the leather before replacement is necessary
Makes your leather item look like new
Some repairs are relatively easy
Cons
Some repairs may be costly
Damage may not be repairable
Repairs may not blend perfectly with the original leather
May need to leave the piece with a repair expert
