We know price is one of the first questions people ask, and we believe in being transparent about it. Below is a detailed breakdown of what leather repair costs in the Woodstock and Cherokee County area for the most common jobs we do.

Leather Furniture Repair Pricing

Small scratch or scuff repair: $150–$250. This covers surface-level damage on one area — a pet scratch on an armrest, a belt-buckle scuff on a seat cushion, or a minor mark from moving furniture. The repair involves cleaning, filling, color matching, and topcoating.

Single tear or rip repair: $200–$400. Tears require sub-patching for structural support, filling, color matching, and finishing. The size and location of the tear determine the exact cost. A 2-inch tear on a flat panel is simpler than a 4-inch tear along a seam or flex point.

Color restoration — single cushion or panel: $200–$350. When one area has faded from sunlight or wear while the rest is fine, we restore just that section. This involves stripping the old finish, custom color matching, and recoating.

Color restoration — full sofa: $400–$800+. A three-cushion sofa with widespread fading needs complete color restoration across all surfaces. This is a larger job that takes more time and materials, but it's still a fraction of replacement cost.

Full leather sofa restoration: $600–$1,200+. This is the works — structural repairs, deep cleaning, color restoration, conditioning, and protective topcoat on a sofa with multiple issues. Typically makes sense for high-quality pieces where the frame is solid but the leather has seen better days.

Recliner repair: $200–$500. Recliners take more abuse than most furniture because of the mechanical movement. Headrests, armrests, and footrest panels are the usual trouble spots.

Car Leather Repair Pricing

Driver seat bolster repair: $150–$300. The bolster is the raised side of the seat that you slide across getting in and out. It's the single most common car leather repair we do. Wear, cracking, and eventually tearing are typical.

Single panel tear or rip: $150–$350. A tear on a seat cushion, backrest, or armrest panel. Includes sub-patching, filling, color matching, and finishing.

Steering wheel leather repair: $150–$250. The steering wheel gets handled more than any other leather surface in the car. Worn, shiny, and cracked steering wheel leather is common. We can restore it to factory appearance.

Full seat color restoration: $250–$450. When the color has faded across an entire seat from UV exposure. We strip, recolor, and topcoat the whole seat surface.

Complete interior restoration: $800–$1,500+. All seats, center console, door panels, and steering wheel. This is typically for vehicles being restored, prepared for sale, or just needing a complete refresh after years of use.

Commercial Leather Repair Pricing

Per-piece repair for offices and lobbies: $150–$400 per item. Waiting room chairs, office seating, and reception furniture typically need armrest and seat repair.

Restaurant booth repair: $150–$350 per booth seat. Vinyl and leather booth seating takes a beating in high-traffic restaurants. We repair tears, worn areas, and cracked finishes.

Maintenance contracts: Pricing varies based on the number of pieces and frequency. A quarterly maintenance visit for a medical office or hotel lobby typically costs less per-piece than one-off repairs because we catch problems early.

Specialty Leather Repair Pricing

Aircraft seat repair: $250–$600+ per seat. Private aircraft leather must meet specific standards. Materials and labor are specialized.

Marine seat repair: $200–$500+ per seat. Boat leather faces UV, saltwater, and moisture. Repairs use marine-grade materials designed for that environment.

Antique and vintage leather: $200–$600+. Older leather needs specialized techniques and products. The leather itself behaves differently from modern hides, and the repair has to respect the character and patina of the piece.

What Factors Affect Leather Repair Cost?

Several factors determine where your repair falls in the price ranges above:

Type of leather. Aniline and semi-aniline leather require more careful technique and specialized products. Pigmented leather is more straightforward. Bonded leather has its own challenges. The leather type directly affects the time and materials needed.

Extent of damage. A 1-inch scratch costs less to fix than a 6-inch tear. Localized fading costs less than whole-sofa color restoration. More damage means more materials and more labor.

Location of damage. Damage in high-flex areas like seat cushion edges and car seat bolsters requires extra reinforcement to ensure durability. Repairs on flat panels are simpler.

Color complexity. Solid colors are easier to match. Two-tone, antiqued, or distressed finishes require more skill and multiple color applications.

Accessibility. Built-in furniture, wall-mounted pieces, or items in tight spaces take longer to work on. Easily accessible items are faster and therefore less expensive.

Repair Cost vs. Replacement Cost

Here's where leather repair really shines — the comparison to replacement:

• Leather sofa: Repair $200–$800 vs. New $2,500–$6,000+
• Leather recliner: Repair $200–$500 vs. New $1,000–$3,000
• Car seat (per seat): Repair $150–$350 vs. Reupholstery $500–$1,500
• Dining chairs (set of 6): Repair $600–$1,200 vs. New set $2,000–$5,000

In almost every case, repair costs 10–30% of replacement. When the piece is well-built with a solid frame and quality leather, repair is the obvious financial choice. For a more detailed look at the value equation, read our article on whether professional leather repair is worth it.

Why DIY Kits Aren't Really Cheaper

A $25 store-bought kit looks like a bargain compared to $200+ professional repair. But most DIY attempts on anything beyond a tiny scuff end up at our shop anyway — now costing the original kit price plus the professional repair plus extra labor to undo the DIY work.
