Services & Process

Leather repair addresses cracks, fading, peeling, tears, and discoloration that develop over years of use. The process typically involves cleaning the surface, filling damaged areas with a leather filler compound, then applying color-matched dye or paint and a protective topcoat to seal the repair. Leather reupholstery is a more involved option for pieces where the leather is too far gone to repair in place, replacing panels entirely with new leather or high-quality faux leather. The retail side of the business lets customers browse leather furniture and goods, which is useful for those who want to compare restoration costs against purchasing something new.

Service Area

Leather Restoration serves Waukesha and the surrounding communities of Waukesha County, including Brookfield, Pewaukee, Oconomowoc, and New Berlin. Milwaukee-area customers looking for leather-specific services will find the Waukesha location worth the short drive west.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can peeling or cracked leather on a sofa actually be repaired?
It depends on how extensive the damage is and what type of leather it is. Genuine leather repairs well, but bonded or blended leather often continues to peel after repair because of how it's manufactured.
How accurate is leather color matching in Waukesha?
Professional leather colorists can get very close matches, especially on common colors like black, brown, and tan. Unusual or aged colors are harder to match perfectly, but the result is almost always a major improvement over leaving damage untreated.
Is it worth reupholstering a leather sofa vs. buying new?
Full-grain and top-grain leather sofas are often worth reupholstering because the leather itself can cost more than the labor. Lower-quality bonded leather sofas may not justify the investment.
Do you sell leather furniture in addition to doing repairs?
Yes, the Waukesha location operates as both a repair service and a retail seller of leather furniture and leather goods. This lets you compare the cost of restoration against buying something new in the same visit.
How do I take care of repaired leather after the work is done?
Regular conditioning with a leather-specific conditioner keeps the material supple and extends the life of repairs. Avoid harsh cleaning products and direct sunlight, which both accelerate deterioration.
What's the difference between leather repair and leather reupholstery?
Repair addresses specific damage areas, patching, filling, and recoloring to restore the original surface. Reupholstery replaces the leather covering entirely, which is necessary when damage is widespread or the leather is too worn for targeted repair.
