With over five decades of experience through our trusted partner, Woodland Leathers, our skilled technicians have worked on thousands of jackets, coats, and accessories — breathing new life into pieces that customers thought were beyond saving. Whether you’ve got a tear in a vintage biker jacket, a faded designer coat, or a snug sleeve that needs adjusting, we approach every job with the same level of detail, respect, and craftsmanship.

We understand that leather isn’t just a material — it’s personal. It carries memories, character, and history. That’s why every service we offer, from minor scuff repairs to full recolouring and tailoring, is handled with care and professionalism. We use advanced tools, specialist techniques, and high-quality materials to ensure that your garment not only looks incredible, but lasts longer. Whatever your leather needs — repair, recolour, or alteration — we’re here to restore your item and your confidence in it.

Leather Clothing Repairs

Repairing Cuts, Scratches & Holes in Leather Jackets and Coats

A tear or rip doesn’t mean the end for your favourite leather jacket. At London Leather Repair, we specialise in restoring damaged leather garments — from surface scratches to deep cuts and worn panels. Our skilled tailors are trained in advanced leather repair techniques, ensuring seamless results that preserve both the structure and aesthetic of your jacket or coat.

We can replace entire leather panels, match grain and colour, and reinforce weakened areas — all while keeping the natural drape and original silhouette of your piece intact. Unlike basic sewing or DIY fixes, professional leather repair requires years of training and specialised tools. Poor repairs can stretch, discolour, or permanently damage the leather — which is why it’s essential to trust experts.

Common Leather Repairs We Handle:

Minor snag patch-ups
Scratch and scuff refinishing
Panel replacement for deep tears
Zip replacement
Button and stud replacement
Full lining replacement

Repairs – Starting Prices:

Sleeve Repairs: From £35
Panel Replacement: Quote Required
Lining Replacement: From £80
Zip Change: From £70

Leather Recolouring

Restoring Faded, Stained, or Worn Leather Back to Life

Leather ages beautifully — but over time, wear, sun exposure, and moisture can cause fading, uneven tones, and surface damage. Our professional leather recolouring service is designed to breathe new life into tired or stained leather garments, using industry-grade dyes, conditioners, and finishing treatments.

We don’t just paint over the problem — we clean, prep, and recondition the leather before applying custom colour treatments that match your jacket’s original hue or give it a completely fresh look. The final result is even, rich, and natural — with your garment’s original texture fully preserved.

Our leather colour restoration experts handle everything from spot touch-ups to full recolouring, including tone-matching panels and refreshing discoloured seams.

What We Can Do:

Restore sun-faded areas
Remove or blend stains and blotches
Refresh worn cuffs, collars, or hems
Full-jacket recolouring
Reconditioning & protection topcoat

Recolouring – Starting Prices:

Partial Colour Work: From £120
Full Garment Recolouring: Quote Required

Leather Alterations

Precision Tailoring for the Perfect Fit

If your leather jacket or coat doesn’t fit quite right — or if it needs style updates — our professional leather alteration service offers custom tailoring with expert precision. Whether you need the sleeves shortened, the hem adjusted, or the body tapered, we ensure the final result is both functional and flattering.

Altering leather is very different from adjusting fabric — it requires exact measurements, specific tools, and skilled hands. Done incorrectly, alterations can leave permanent damage. At London Leather Repair, we guarantee smooth seams, accurate symmetry, and a natural finish.

Our Leather Alteration Services Include:

Sleeve lengthening or shortening
Hem shortening
Cuff adjustments
Tapering sleeves or jacket sides
Zip replacement and repositioning
Button and stud refits
Lining adjustments or replacement

Alteration – Starting Prices:

Sleeve Shortening: From £35
Zip Change: From £70
Lining Replacement: From £80

Whether you’re adjusting the fit or breathing new life into your favourite jacket, we’ll tailor it to your exact measurements and preserve every bit of its original charm.

Fantastic service from Avy and his team. Husband’s favourite old black jacket which was scuffed and faded was completely renewed and is now solid black but still v soft nappa leather. Very quick turnaround and efficient communications. Great value.

Ankit Patel

Avi and Uncle Dave saved me when I was in dire need of someone fixing my legitimate lederhosen. They were both very helpful, efficient and easily available for communication. Thanks again guys. I’d highly recommend!

Rebecca Weir

I found Woodland Leathers on Google and they have been superb from my first email to them. They have beautifully restored and repaired a very old leather flying jacket. It was not cheap but worth every penny. Thank you!!!!

Callum

Just received my dad's old biker jacket that I sent in for repairs. After the last 30 years it was in a very sorry state for itself but now it looks like it's straight out of the factory where they once made this wolf brand jacket. My family and myself are just blown away with how good it's turned out! Would definitely use Woodland Leather again for any future needs.

Will Bartlam

After some online research I decided to use Woodland Leather and what an excellent choice, their quotation and ease of communication was spot on and after just under two weeks they returned to leather jacket sent as like new! Firstly, they did an invisible mend for an existing poor repair and a tear hole so good you cannot find any evidence of the damage. Secondly, they recoloured the entire jacket to an extremely high standard and can recommend their services without hesitation.

Lisa Wallace

Outstanding job and really appreciate the efforts. The jacket look great having repaired a large rip on the sleeve. I want to call out your customer service. You have an excellent set up with constant engagement and updates. First class so well done and thank you. Highly recommend.

Gaynor Thorne

Excellent customer care and repair service by Avy and his team for their amazing workmanship on the repair to a couple of tears and claw marks on my Jaegar soft leather jacket, caused by my kitten! Avy made sure I was happy with my choice of repair and the outcome. I would confidently recommend Woodland Leather for leather repair work.

Al Martelli

Had a leather jacket which needed a new lining and a new zip. The turnaround was very swift and the workmanship was outstanding. Happy to highly recommend this company.

Claire Curran

Woodland Leathers went above & beyond with their service. My son's beloved motor bike jacket needed relining, badges sewn on & tears fixed. A lot of care & attention went into the detail including a 50" zip to allow the lining to be removable & internal pockets made into the lining with leather trim. I had this done as a Christmas present for him & he will be one happy man!

Martin Sutcliffe

Woodland Leather did an outstanding job repairing and restoring my fathers leather jacket back to its former glory. It was a difficult job and we could not be happier with the result, excellent work. Communication with Avy throughout the process was also A++. A great company
