Assess the damage accurately

Upholstery repair considers the material and the nature of the damage together. Small tears, burns, scratches and colour loss call for different methods. Inspection establishes how much of the existing finish can be retained and where repair has limits. Larger or structural damage may require replacement, rather than assuming that every surface can be returned completely to its original condition through a local treatment.

Plan the treatment

The repair area is cleaned and prepared appropriately. Filling, surface correction or recolouring may be considered according to the material. Colour and texture matching take surrounding wear into account. The finished appearance and the area’s use are checked afterwards. Care guidance is particularly relevant on frequently contacted seat edges, and the distinction between cleaning and physical repair should remain clear when agreeing on the work.

Inspection after the repair

The treated surface is inspected carefully and relevant use instructions are explained. Cleaning products should suit the material, while unsuitable pressure or abrasive work on the repaired area should be avoided. The result is considered against the original damage and the chosen method. If an unexpected change appears, consulting the dealer allows reassessment and a suitable care decision rather than further improvised treatment.
