Leather Car Seat Repairs


 Share

Recommended Posts

Both my front seats now have a split in the front base panel plus general age related wear as shown in the photograph.

You can buy repair/ refurbishing  kits but after contacting several companies they are saying the rip is too big and a new panel would be needed.

So onto plan B find a local company to perform the repairs, first search “Nationwide Repairs” .....”We don’t cover your area” ?? Next company “You will have to bring the seats to us” which is fair enough but they are attached to the car which means leaving the car and then getting home then back to collect.

Third point is are these companies any good? All checks out on the website, plenty of before and after pictures and good customer testimonials from Mr.B.Smith of London.

So does any other member have previous dealings with these companies and recommendations preferably within the midlands area?

I cannot recommend a particular company, not having used one myself, but have you tried this company?:

I imagine sorting out the rip would involve glueing a backing behind it to restore structural integrity, after which the seats can be cleaned, coloured and treated, so essentially fairly straightforward, in theory. This is based watching The Repair Shop!

Try these people, not too far away from Derby. These guys are ex Rolls Royce leather trimmers, possibly the best in the business unless they are Lexus of course!

Thank you, the link gives the address as Sandbach Cheshire, do you mean the one in Mickleover, Derby?

Cheers Howard, I’ll make enquiries.

I would advise you to give this one a miss, just look on Trust Pilot and also few people that used Leathermend and Leathermend used a third party rather than do the work themselves named Leather Repair & Restore that was shocking (which I used before and wish I never ) - this third party I believe has now folded for obvious reasons (bad workmanship and service).
