Product Details

What kit or tools do I need?

If you can feel the damage, such that a gentle sanding won’t correct it, then repair is recommended.

If you are repairing any vinyl or severe cat ‘scratching post’ damage, scaliness, or cracking on real leather like this:

Buy our Vinyl Repair & Leather Filler Kit. Use a needle tool for thin cracks or small gouges. Buy a palette knife for larger areas.

If you have tears or holes through the material like this:

Buy a Subpatch Kit plus the Vinyl Repair & Leather Filler Kit.

This article has more info and a video demonstration. For holes larger than 3" in diameter, consider glueing a top-patch of similar material to the subpatch before applying filler.

If you have isolated cat scratches or small scrapes or nicks on real leather like this:

Picture of cat claw scratches on aniline leather arm

Picture of minor scuffs on back corner of leather furniture

Buy our Leather Cat Scratch Repair Kit. Apply tiny beads of super glue and sand to create a filler. Learn how here.

If your leather is peeling or flaking like this:

Picture of cracking, peeling, flaking polyurethane faux leather

It ain't real leather! Here is how you'd repair it and why we don't recommend it.

If your leather looks like this:

Picture of worn microfiber faux leather couch

It is actually a fabric which can be painted using these instructions. No filler is needed.

How much filler do I need?

Key is understanding cleaning sanding preparation , how to properly apply the filler, learning to use the spreader blade and card, sometimes in sequential layers and light sanding or even alcohol on a rag light rubbing and letting it dry thoroughly. The videos show and explain everything. On a big project start small and learn. You can go back and fine tune for texture and smoothing. Honestly it’s very forgiving and you can refine your early efforts.

We were able to restore a very large sectional of two days in our living room over about 6-8 hours!!!

I have an ottoman that was gifted to us in pretty rough shape. The leather was pretty flaky from an old cat pee stain. I was able to confidently treat and fix it with the instructional video and soft filler! It was very satisfying to do! I was able to manage doing this with 3 large dogs, 3 cats (major culprits of damaging furniture), and 3 kids 3 and under!

I wish I recorded my husbands face when he saw the ottoman after fixing it.

I did a color change as well and I forgot to use a wet sponge at first... so follow all instructions haha. I love these products and this company!

I wanted my mom to hang on to her 25 year old stressless chair, but the arms were in really sad shape. One arm had a large hole and both had severe cracking from years of wear. I used the subpatch kit, the leather filler repair kit, the leather glue and the beige leather finish. The transformation was miraculous to say the least. I've included a before and after photo. The "before" photo doesn't tell the whole story because I took it after gluing in the subpatch. The hole was gaping with stuffing coming out. Everyone in the family is amazed at the results. RubnRestore is the best!!!

Using the filler was extremely easy. I did 3 light coats as per the video. It dried fairly quickly. When I added the colorant, I could still see the filler. I didn't want to add another coat of colorant, so I can see where I made the repairs. But it always like that when it is your own work. The texture of that sections is not the same as the rest of the couch but it is an 85% improvement.

Nearly a year ago, I refinished our leather living room furniture. It still looks amazing! The large hole you taught me how to repair is still 100% intact. And, drumroll, the dogs don’t sit on the furniture! Hope you’ve done alright during the past year. I recommended you to someone recently and hope she follows up. Take good care.

I wanted to thank you both for being there when I had questions regarding a recent project I did for my neighbor. For years he had wanted his club chairs to be presentable, but the high quotes he was getting stunted his hopes. He and I are both in our mid 60's with senior issues about money. I was able to provide him a fair quote due to the reasonable price of your products. I have had previous success using your products but one his chairs was going to be extremely difficult. One of his family members named Kasha; a 120 lb.German Shepard had claimed the chair. I used your filler scratch repair kit and cherrywood and satin sealer and the result was remarkable.

This product is fantastic. I had professionals look at the rips in our leather recliner and they said buy a new one and wouldn't touch it. I was fortunate enough to find the Rub n Restore video on line and called them to discuss my problem. The video is the best! They came back with the product I needed and the rest is history. My chair looks fantastic. Their customer service in 5 STAR. Lesandre is very knowledgeable and will go out of her way to help your repair go well.

Very happy with this product! I was swindled into buying a “leather” couch. 3 years in and the couch started to peel. Chili pepper dye, soft filler and glaze was perfect. Trick is to go slow, plan on many days to do it right, and don’t over texture. I will be a returning customer! Before, during, and after below!

I was skeptical that I could pull this off. I have two love seats that had several cracks in the vinyl and in need of new color. I had considered having them reupholstered but the cost is so high. I made the repairs with the Soft Filler then recolored them with the Walnut Dye. I finished up with the Clear Prep and Finish and I couldn’t be happier with the results!

I had bought the sub patch and filler kits. The sub patch kit worked great and the filler kit just as well. I had everything I needed to fix my leather sofa from a reckless child with a cigarette. And then I used the filler to go over some stitching that we had done on said sofa as one of the seams was coming apart. After the stitching was done you could see a little bit so I used the filler over the stitching and then colored it my paint. It looks great.

I repaired two vinyl chairs and an ottoman using the filler. It works, but it is very tricky to match the texture of the original vinyl. My patches of filler turned out to be too smooth with creases or lines at the edges. While working with it, I noticed that if you take off the gloves and use your fingertips to feather and texture the filler, it matches better. With the dye it still looks a lot better than before!!

This was my first time repairing leather as well as using this product. I was amazed at the transformation of my antique chair! The product filled in beautifully and the only flaws were due to my inexperience at texturizing the final layer (although others didn't see any problems with my repair job). I was glad to have the pieces in the kit for this first job since I didn't have all the sandpaper choices already. I didn't use as much filler as I thought but plan to repair another chair with it.

We had 3 fairly good size holes in one of our leather sofas and I was able to repair the holes using the subpatches and the filler. I used the entire container of filler and did 3-4 layers each. Was never able to get it to look perfectly smooth even after much sanding but with the dye, it is substantially better and we won't have to splurge on a new set yet. Thanks!
