Sadly leather can be torn rather easily. If your leather jacket has a tear in it, fear notโit doesnโt need to go straight in the bin!
We offer torn leather jackets a second chance at life with leather repairs in Norton-on-Derwent.
A sub patch is installed under the torn area of leather and secured with glue to the torn pieces of leather. Leather filler is then applied to the area in between the torn pieces of leather. This is applied and built up in layers and cured with a heat gun as each layer is applied. Once the filler is level with both sides of the leather, the area will be sanded down to ensure it is smooth.
After the area is filled and smooth, the experts in Norton-on-Derwent will apply leather dye using an air compressor and spray gun to ensure even distribution in light coats. Each coat will be dried using a hair dryer. Once the area is completely covered and blended in, the leather repairs technician will apply a lacquer in order to seal the repair.
Once sealed, the technician will apply further protections to help prevent additional damage from occurring and affecting the repaired area.
All repairs are durable and will wear the same as the rest of the jacket.
