Leather Repair & Recolouring
Leather is beautiful but it shows its age — and Auckland's climate doesn't help. We repair cuts, tears, and cracks in leather upholstery, filling and blending repairs to make them as invisible as possible. We also recolour faded or discoloured leather using professional dyes matched to your original colour. Leather repair is one of the most effective ways to restore expensive furniture, car seats, or marine upholstery at a fraction of replacement cost.
Fabric & Vinyl Repair
Small tears, burns, cuts, or worn patches in fabric or vinyl don't always require a full reupholster. We patch and repair fabric and vinyl upholstery using matching materials where possible, with careful stitching and finishing to blend the repair into the surrounding material. For vinyl, we also offer heat-bonded repairs that provide a seamless, durable result.
Seam & Stitching Repair
Failed seams are one of the most common upholstery problems, and they're often straightforward to fix if caught early. We restitch open seams, reinforce stressed areas, and repair piping that has pulled loose — on furniture, car seats, marine upholstery, and any other upholstered item. Addressing seam failures early prevents damage spreading.

Foam & Padding Replacement
When your upholstery looks fine but feels terrible, the problem is almost always the foam underneath. We replace compressed, flattened, or broken-down foam in furniture cushions, car seats, boat seats, and campervan bedding — bringing back the comfort and support that the piece had when it was new. We assess the right foam density for each application.
Full Reupholstery Service
When a repair isn't enough, full reupholstery gives your piece a complete transformation. We strip the item back to its frame or base structure, assess and address any structural issues, replace foam and padding, and apply new fabric, leather, or vinyl with professional finishing. Available for furniture, automotive interiors, marine seating, campervan interiors, and commercial seating.
Colour Restoration
Faded, sun-damaged, or discoloured upholstery can often be restored to its original colour without a full reupholster. We offer professional colour restoration for leather, vinyl, and some fabric types — cleaning, prepping, and re-dyeing or repainting the surface to restore a consistent, uniform colour. Particularly effective for leather car seats and boat vinyl.

FAQ
Q: How do I know if my upholstery needs repair or full reupholstery?
A: If the damage is localised — a small tear, a failed seam, a cracked area — and the rest of the upholstery is in reasonable condition, a repair is likely the right choice. If the fabric is faded or deteriorated across a large area, or if the foam is flat throughout, full reupholstery delivers better value. We’ll give you an honest assessment and never recommend more work than you need.
Q: Can you repair leather that has been badly scratched by a cat?
A: Yes — cat scratches are one of the most common leather repair jobs we see. For moderate scratching, we can fill, blend, and recolour the affected area to significantly reduce visibility. For severe, deep scratching across a large area, full reupholstery may give a better long-term result. Send us photos via WhatsApp and we can advise before you commit.
Q: Do you offer a pickup and delivery service for repairs?
A: Yes — for furniture repairs, we offer a collect-and-return service across Auckland. For automotive repairs, we can discuss drop-off options at our workshop. Contact us to arrange collection and we’ll make the process as convenient as possible.
Q: How quickly can you repair my upholstery?
A: Simple repairs — stitching, small patches, minor leather work — can often be completed in 1–3 days. More complex repairs or full reupholstery takes longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeline when you enquire so you know exactly what to expect.

Well done team, we look forward to providing you more work over the coming years- very impressed with quality of product - prompt and easy to deal with. CheersPosted on Ronak Modi It’s amazing to get our old stuff look new. Thanks to Upholstery World.Posted on Jenna Roake I reached out to Sejal to finish some new bench seats we had put in. Both Sejal and Viraj were really prompt with coming to visit, listening to the types of fabric and interior look we were going for and produced some stunning squabs that we are really happy with. We also had our curtains shortened to suit the new bench seats. The only slight issue was that we had get the squabs and curtains redone twice. The squab piping wasn’t on the edges of the squabs and there was bulk of fabric at the bottom of the squabs. The curtains & backing hadn’t been individually sewn causing bulging at the bottom. But Viraj was more than happy to understand what we were looking for and took both the squabs and curtains back to ensure a beautiful result. Thank you both for your patience and producing a stunning feature in our home.Posted on Joanne Jorgensen 22/7/25. Viraj came out and saw us in in our home in quick time to view our very cat scratched dining room chairs. Within 1 week they were looking brand new with the fabric we had chosen from samples Viraj had brought with him. Viraj was very helpful, professional and courteous in his approach to us. The cost was very reasonable and we would highly recommend anyone looking for upholstery needs to give Viraj a call.Posted on Alison Blaiklock We thought our old sofas were so munted and worn that they were beyond repair. But Viraj and Upholstery World did amazing, beautiful and affordable work restoring them and now we feel like we are in a luxurious resort! Viraj was considerate, great to communicate with, and gave very helpful advice.Posted on Andrew Malmo I agree with the other reviewers here. Upholstery World did an awesome job of two seat cushions, I'm super happy with the result. Really great service from first contact to delivery, thanks very much Viraj! Highly recommend.Posted on Anna Trotter Viraj has just delivered our beautiful 50+ year old arm chairs recovered and they look amazing! From the moment I contacted Upholstery World we had a five star service. He was super efficient, very reasonable, he collected and returned the chairs with no hassle at all. The upholstery job is top notch and he organised the purchase of the fabric from Warwick in Auckland for me. The entire process was seamless ... big thanks to Viraj, I would HIGHLY recommend him!
