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:

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:

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:

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

I had a hole in the arm of my leather recliner. Using the sub patch kit you can hardly tell where it was! The color doesnt match as I’d like , the chair is old and sun faded, but it’s not noticeable.

Reply from lesandre:

Nicely done! You can always apply filler and a color like our Rust to improve its appearance and add more strength.

Kit was just what we needed to make a repair on the back top side of a leather cushion the had a 9 inch tear. The combination of the special glue and the supplied backing fabric was key. We were able to work the leather to eliminate the tear gap so using the filler and sanding it in steps virtually eliminated the imperfection on the cushion.

We had a few places where our old, leather couch was started to crack and split. We used the subpatch kit to hold the large splits together so that we could fill everything and refinish the couch with the soft filler. It all worked as promised and the couch looks awesome now.

This is a small but helpful repair kit + it takes the guess-work out of what is needed to make substrate repairs prior to filling or dying your leather furniture. Appreciate the easy instructions + video guidance available for this step as well.
