When care is enough
If the surface is in good condition and dirt is the issue, cleaning and care suited to the material may be the starting point. Stain removal needs assessment — not every stain can be removed by cleaning.
When restoration is needed
Abrasion, colour loss or surface damage may require restoration. The material type, extent of wear and possible result need to be assessed first. Only then can the scope of work be established.
When to consider upholstery repair or replacement
For cracks, deformation, extensive damage or a change in the interior's character, care alone may not be enough. An assessment is then needed to decide between repair, replacing a section or making a new component.
Why the material matters
The cleaning or restoration approach depends on the material and its condition. What works on one surface may not suit another. It also helps to mention previous repairs or products used.
Frequently asked questions
Can every type of leather be restored?
Restoration depends on the material type and extent of damage. The surface needs to be assessed first.
Does cleaning remove abrasion marks?
Cleaning is intended to remove dirt. It does not rebuild worn or missing material. This damage needs a separate assessment of whether repair or restoration is possible.
Can you change the colour of interior components?
This is treated as a bespoke project. The scope depends on the material, component and desired result.
