Why Leather Chairs Deserve Special Care
Leather chair repair is the smart solution when your favorite seat starts showing signs of wear. Whether it’s a cozy reading armchair, an executive office chair, or a cherished vintage piece, leather chairs offer elegance, durability, and lasting comfort. But like all natural materials, leather is prone to cracking, fading, and tearing over time.
If you’ve noticed scuffs, split seams, sagging cushions, or discoloration, professional repair can restore both beauty and function — without the expense or inconvenience of buying new.

Common Problems Requiring Leather Chair Repair
Everyday use, exposure to sunlight, moisture, temperature fluctuations, pets, and even cleaning products can take a toll on your leather furniture. Here are the most frequent issues we handle at LaV REPAIR in Jacksonville:
- Cracking and drying due to age and sun exposure
- Tears, cuts, or punctures from accidents or pets
- Loose stitching or open seams
- Faded color or staining
- Sagging cushions or flattened padding
- Structural issues like wobbly frames or damaged legs
Don’t wait until the damage gets worse — early repair is faster, more affordable, and maintains the chair’s original look and value.
Our Leather Chair Repair Process
At LaV REPAIR, we follow a careful, professional process to ensure each repair blends seamlessly with the rest of the chair and restores both function and beauty.
1. Assessment & Estimate
We begin with a thorough evaluation of your leather chair. You can either send us photos for a free remote estimate or bring the chair to our workshop. We assess the type of leather, type of damage, and overall condition.
2. Cleaning & Surface Preparation
All repairs start with deep cleaning using pH-neutral products to remove oils, dirt, and old conditioners. This ensures a proper bond for fillers and dyes later in the process.
3. Repair Techniques
Depending on your chair’s needs, we use specialized materials and methods to:
- Fill cracks and blend them in
- Patch tears with matching leather or liquid leather
- Restitch open seams using strong upholstery thread
- Replace or restore padding and springs
- Restore faded or discolored areas with color-matched leather dyes
4. Re-dyeing & Conditioning
We use high-quality, non-toxic leather dyes to restore your chair’s original shade or refresh it with a new one. Then, a leather conditioner is applied to enhance flexibility and protect the surface from future damage.
5. Finishing Touches
Final steps may include polishing, hardware tightening, wood refinishing (if applicable), and quality checks to ensure your chair looks and feels like new.
