2025-09-30

Leather sofas are luxurious and comfortable to sit on. However, they are prone to damage and cracks over time. Once a leather sofa is damaged, its appearance is greatly affected. Many leather sofas only have a small tear, and it is a pity to throw the entire sofa away. So how can you repair a damaged leather sofa?

Depending on the situation, we can repair it ourselves. If a leather sofa is accidentally scratched or rubbed by a sharp object, resulting in a scratch or hole, you can choose a piece of leather of similar color and size based on the shape and size of the scratch, apply neoprene glue, and then stick it in place. This method can be used regardless of the brand of leather sofa.

If the damage to a leather sofa is minor, you can use eggs to repair it. Beat an egg, extract the egg white, and mix some paint, trying to match the color of the leather as closely as possible. Once mixed thoroughly, apply it to the damaged leather. Avoid rubbing with water, and the paint will stay put. Once dry, apply a little leather brightener. Leather sofa manufacturers typically use animal hides like cowhide, which have excellent absorbency, making this method suitable for repairing leather sofas.

If the leather sofa is damaged extensively and has seriously affected its aesthetics, you should contact the leather sofa manufacturer for repairs. For example, if a common living room leather sofa is severely damaged, you should contact the leather sofa manufacturer immediately and ask them to send someone to repair it. After purchasing a sofa, there is a corresponding warranty period. During or after the warranty period, you can have the sofa repaired for a fee.
