Zips: Please note we do not deal with replacing, inserting, repairing zips on any items. We only deal with the actual leather part of items and "minimal" hand sewing (up to approx 4 inches in length) should the need arise. Should you require zips or comprehensive stitching, then we recommend 'The Menders' in Crewkerne
Torn leather restoration:
When you love the fit you and your sofa have together and want to try and keep it a bit longer, although the leather is starting to fail. Give us a call and we will come out and make it stronger, and to all intents and purposes, in most cases a repair that visitors won't even notice has happened.
Vintage car leather restoration:
These seats came from a 1928 Sunbeam car, a true vinyage vehicle. Time had come to deal with some sewing and adhesion problems. To finish off the job there was the re-coating of the outer leather to offer not only a better cosmetic look by taking it back to the original colour, but also to help slow down the deteriation of the actual leather.
Postal service:
Hugo Boss leather jacket which had received over zealous DIY cleaning, resulting in the surface pigment being taken off. Customer needed a fast turn around because of an upcoming holiday, so this item arrived in the morning and was repaired then back in the post the same afternoon. You can't get much quicker than that!
'Help me sell' restoration Task:
This BMW didn't have a particulary high milage, but the very nature of these seats means it is nigh on impossible to get in or out without rubbing the leather bolster.
Over time this does mean the leather surface gets rubbed away, but by specialist and experienced colour matching we can recoat the effected panel without the need to recolour the complete seat.
This car which had been seen by many but wouldn't sell, was sold within two days after this work had been carried out, because the condition of the seat now matched the price ticket.
Supporting local events.
Because of the local community that have supported us since bringing the operation to Somerset, it is only right that we return the favor when the occassion arises. So last few years we sponsored the Martock Fireworks display which allows the event to be free for the community and will continue to support future events. Previously over the years we have been one of the main sponsors for the Retro weekends which raises thousands of pounds for local charities.
Come in Mr SAAB your time is ready.
Now and again a job comes in where we look forward to the challenge and the results afterwards! Let's be clear, we don't recommend waiting until your car leather seats get to this state before asking us to save the day, but in the event you have left it that long, then you can be assured that we will get you the best repair standard possible, other than replacing the seats with brand new items.
And now for another item left a few years too late, but with a new identical item being over £800 perhaps calling us in to get a few more years out of it will be a solution.
There's a combination of issues going on here primarily resulting from head grease, but we will offer you some free advice how to limit any future issues and it doesn't involve cutting off your head or sitting on the floor!
A well aged and used leather sports bag going back a couple of generations, which had been found in the attic and required a lot of surface work.
A new firmer base was also constructed, which when fitted into the bag returned the shape and ability to hold items much better.
Leather is a material that should last for decades even generations, and as a 'hand me down' will hold many historical and family memories.
All is not lost and a cheaper course of action, compared to having new cushion covers made which probably wouldn't be compatable with the rest of the aged chair.
In this case the cover is removed, turned inside out, a backing piece secured which holds the broken parts together, cushioned turned again, any gaps filled, then the item recoated to match rest of chair.
This sort of repair should last many years and will probably outlast the remainder of the chair.
Every year something different crops up, and as a first in 20 years two leather bean bags were delivered.
Initially repaired to stop the filling from escaping and then as per the customers request, the bean bags were dyed darker to give them a better look to their current colour scheme, then sealed to make them more durable for many more years to come. (September 2024)
We've always known that Dry Cleaning leather any leather. was a bad idea because dry cleaners use solvants to carry out their work.
And here we have the perfect example of what happened to a leather jacket when it came back from the dry cleaners, totally stripped the outer pigment coating leaving a bleached out, rough finish.
So after some prep work to smooth down the surface the correct coloured pigment was applied and sealed in.
