Summary
Assess the damage: bonded leather peels easily, real leather lasts longer. Then, clean with a matching leather recolour kit (sponges, gloves, balm included). Wipe flakes, lightly sand for grip, vacuum dust, and dab thin balm layers (don't rub). Apply first coat, dry 2 hours, add two more (drying fully between), then press with plastic wrap overnight. After 2 days, condition with spray; test spot first, patch/glue big tears and avoid sun and water exposure.

Here is how you repair your peeling sofa:


  1. Check the extent of damage first. See if it is bonded leather that is cheap and peels easily, or if it is real leather. 

  2. Then, cleaner thoroughly with a leather cleaner by first ordering the right repair kit. Get a leather recolour restorer kit that comes with sponges, gloves, balm, etc. Ensure you colour-match the shape of your sofa accurately.

  3. Preparation: You can then wipe peeling flakes, sand lightly with a suitable grit sandpaper and vacuum the dust. Then, apply a thin layer of balm with a sponge and dab, don’t rub.

  4. Layer and Cure: Apply the first layer of the product and let it dry completely. Ideally, the drying time is 2 hours. The, apply two more layers, waiting for the previous layer to dry fully before applying the next layer. Press with a plastic wrap overnight.

  5. Finishing Touches: Apply leather conditioning spray after 2 days and avoid direct sun or water. 


Before you start, make sure to test the product on a small spot first. If the tears are big, glue and patch underneath.
