Leather Cleaning & Repair in Sunderland & Washington
Leather sofas fade, dry out and pick up body oils on the arms and headrests. We’re trained in leather cleaning and repair, so faded Chesterfields, scuffed recliners and cracked seat cushions can be cleaned, re-fed and colour-restored rather than replaced.
Good leather is expensive and lasts decades if it's looked after, but most of it never is. A professional clean strips the built-up grime and oils, then conditions the hide so it stays supple. Colour restoration brings back faded arms and seat cushions. Repairs deal with scuffs, cat scratches, small tears and cracking.
The oxblood Chesterfield suite in the photos below is a typical job: dull, patchy and dry on arrival, deep and even by the time we left. That's a clean and a colour refresh, not a re-cover.
Covering Washington, Houghton-le-Spring, Hetton-le-Hole, Chester-le-Street, Sunderland, Peterlee, Gateshead and Birtley. Send a couple of photos and we'll tell you what's realistic before you book.

★★★★★I genuinely didn’t realise how dirty my sofa was until I saw the before and after photos, and my oven looks brand new. David was professional from start to finish, arrived on time, took great care, and the results speak for themselves. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending him to anyone. Worth every penny, I’ll definitely be booking again.
Questions we get asked
How much does leather cleaning cost?
It depends on the size of the suite and whether you want colour restoration or repairs as well as a clean, so leather is always quoted from a photo. WhatsApp a picture to 07380 979570 and we'll come back with a firm price. The £50 minimum applies.
Can faded leather really be restored?
Yes, in most cases. Faded and patchy leather is re-coloured and sealed so it looks even again. Heavily cracked or split leather can be improved a lot, though not always made new. We'll be honest about that from the photos.
Can you fix cat scratches and scuffs?
Usually. Light scratches and scuffs are filled, coloured and sealed. Deep tears may need a patch behind them, which we also do.
Is it safe for my type of leather?
We identify the leather first (aniline, semi-aniline, pigmented or bicast) because they all need different products. That's the difference between a professional job and a supermarket wipe.
