Services & Process

Fix and Finish handles leather furniture repair including crack filling, color restoration, and structural fixes to frames and cushion bases. Their auto upholstery work covers leather seat repairs, full interior recovers, and dashboard or console material restoration. For general furniture reupholstery, they work in both leather and fabric depending on what the piece and customer require. Leather repair specifically involves cleaning, prepping, applying filler compounds to damaged areas, then color-matching and sealing the surface so repairs blend with the original hide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can cracked leather on a car seat actually be repaired, or does it need full replacement?
Surface cracks and light crazing on leather seats can often be repaired using filler compounds and color-matched dyes, especially if the underlying material is still intact. Deep cracks that have gone through to the foam or fabric backing may require panel replacement, which the shop can assess during your estimate.
How do you match leather color on a partial repair?
Leather color matching involves mixing dyes to replicate the original finish, then testing on a concealed spot before applying it to the repair area. It's rarely a perfect scientific match on aged leather since the original color has likely faded or changed, but a skilled technician gets it close enough that repairs are barely noticeable.
Is it possible to change the color of my leather furniture?
Yes, full leather redyeing or color changes are possible, though they require thorough prep work to strip existing coatings and ensure the new color adheres evenly. This is a more involved process than a standard repair, so expect a higher cost and longer turnaround time.
What's the difference between genuine leather and bonded leather for repair purposes?
Genuine leather can be repaired, refinished, and restored multiple times because it's a natural material with consistent properties throughout. Bonded leather, which is made from shredded scraps pressed together with adhesive, tends to peel in layers and is much harder to repair satisfactorily since the substrate breaks down over time.
Do you repair leather steering wheels and dashboards in addition to seats?
Many auto upholstery specialists who focus on leather work can handle steering wheels, dashboards, and center consoles in addition to seats. These are more delicate jobs because of the complex shapes involved, so bring your vehicle in for an assessment before assuming the work can be done.
How long does a leather repair last compared to replacing the whole panel?
A professionally done leather repair on a low-stress area, like the back of a cushion or an armrest, can last many years with proper care. High-wear areas like seat bolsters may need attention again after several years, but a good repair still extends the life of the original material significantly compared to doing nothing.
