Leather Sofa Repairs & Restoration in Telford, Shrewsbury & Shropshire

Welcome to Shropshire Leather Care, professional leather sofa repairs & restoration, based in Telford and Shrewsbury and all of Shropshire

Leather upholstery is usually a big investment. When a favourite sofa or chair starts to look tired, worn or damaged, many people reluctantly begin thinking about replacement. Often it’s not just furniture — it’s the most comfortable seat in the house, or something that fits perfectly with your décor. Once leather starts to look a little sad, replacing it can feel like the only option — and an expensive one.

Before you make that big decision, STOP. We’d always recommend speaking to us first to see what can realistically be done. Every job starts with a full pre-inspection. This allows us to explain clearly what can be achieved — and just as importantly, any limitations.

What we can usually fix

In many cases, leather furniture can be repaired or restored far more effectively than people expect, including:

• Colour fading and wear patches

• Cracking and dryness

• Scratches and scuffing

• Small tears and splits

• Heavily worn arms, seats and cushions

What we can’t always do

We’re always honest about results, and there are some limits with leather:

• Not every repair can be made completely invisible

• Some materials (such as bonded leather or PU) have restrictions and cannot be fixed

• Very weak or degraded leather may not be suitable for long-term repair

We’ll always explain this clearly during inspection, so you can make an informed decision.

Why repair instead of replace?

• Far more cost-effective than buying new

• Keeps a sofa or chair you already love and feel comfortable with

• Less waste, and far more sustainable

We offer a range of leather sofa repairs and leather furniture repairs. Work can be normally be undertaken at your home, we also offer to take items away up to a certain size if required

Colour fade or wear –  This normally happens from everyday wear and tear. We can re apply coloured pigmented finishes and clear protective topcoats to virtually blend them back to their original colour using our latest spectrometer technology.

Rips, tears, cuts and burns* – From small tears and cuts to burn marks and holes. We are able most of the time to correct the damage and blend the repair back into the upholstery leaving a virtually invisible repair.

Pet damage* – It’s sometimes really unavoidable to stop your pets from scratching our favourite furnishings, but don’t fear in most cases we are able to carry out leather scratch repairs and refinish the leather back to as close to the original colour as is possible.

*Please note

whilst all efforts are made to ensure repairs are invisible, it may sometimes be impossible to fully hide a repair. Also, some manufacturers use imitation leather or vinyl on some suites. We are unable to repair cracks and tears on this material

Love your sofa, chair or favourite leather item but the colour looks faded? In many cases, leather furniture can be recoloured to like new, rather than replaced.

For pigmented leather finishes, we can restore the original colour and sometimes change the colour to virtually any shade you choose, using professional colour-matched coatings and protective finishes. So before you discard a sofa that no longer fits your space, it’s always worth speaking to us first.

If your sofa has simply faded with age, we can often restore the colour back towards its original appearance. Prefer a darker shade instead? That’s usually possible too.
This type of colour work applies to aniline leather finishes, where the dye is absorbed into the leather rather than sitting on the surface.

If you have a piece of furniture that needs leather restoration or a colour refresh, give us a call and have a chat about what can realistically be achieved.
