Offer your customers a new, in-demand service with leather repair
Leather repair is one of the most highly sought-after additional services
detailing customers request. With over 53% of new cars delivered with leather or
faux leather interiors, each one will likely require a repair at some point in
its life, and with an average charge for a minor scuff of £120 and taking as
little as 25 minutes to complete, through to full interior re-colouring costing
upwards of £1000, it's become a must-have skill in a detailers arsenal for
customer convenience, instant up-sell of services, and a standalone service
instead of far more expensive re-trimming options.
The course is a three-day, one-to-one training and skills session, which will
take you through all steps of leather repair, from cleaning and assessment,
through to fixing common scuffs, rips and tears. In-house colour matching and
blending are taught, along with repair and recolour of steering wheels, and
plastic recolouring. This course will give you the skills and confidence to
complete leather repairs on all types of vehicles, with ongoing technical
support for as long as you need it. Once complete your business can then become
part of the Colourlock Accredited leather repair network. This includes;
Colourlock branding and accredited-level discount on tools, consumables and
materials.
Optionally available is the Colourlock LRT master kit, to give you the tools and
materials to complete repairs, the colour system to custom blend paints and
various practice kits. When purchased with booking this has a saving of over
£450 off RRP.

Split over three days, with the first looking at leather in theory and cleaning
and maintenance, the second on repairs and graining, and the third day spent
with us practising colour matching, looking at more unusual repairs, and being
able to spend the extra time on the practical repair side - until you can
complete it with little to no input from the instructor. This level of
instruction will lend you the confidence to immediately start minor repairs -
though we recommend a period of practice to enhance your confidence with aspects
such as colour matching and repair work.
