How To Fix a Tear in Leather Couch

Repairing a tear on a leather couch is actually easy, that’s if you have the right product. Although this guide is for fixing a leather couch, it can also be used for repairing a tear in any leather item such as a car seat, sofa, or even a jacket.

 

Step 1: Make sure that the area is clean and prepped. If there are any loose threads, cut them out. If there are any rough edges or raised spots, lightly sand them until they are smooth.

Step 2: Insert the backing fabric under the leather. Then apply a thin layer of leather adhesive in between the backing fabric and leather and press down firmly. Allow to dry.

Step 3: Fill any gaps with a thin layer of leather adhesive. Allow to dry.

Step 4: Apply a thin coat of leather repair color over the damaged area and allow to dry. This helps blend the repair in with the rest of the leather.
