Leathercare Warrington fabulous results again

[TKH]

Well finally decided to take seats and sill cover out of car to be reconnolised

I took them to Steve at Leathercare in Warrington just off the M6 by Thelwall viaduct and all I can say is I am delighted with the results
Steve is a true craftsman and a petrolhead which always helps

heres a link to their website and no I am not on commission I just know how hard it is to find good craftsmen

I don't understand all that yellow dye and did they manage to get rid of the dent in the top pad?

I think that's just my iPhone photo finish is perfect colour

All cracks and indents fully removed

Can you give an indication of the cost?

[TKH]

Very reasonable prices I guess they price depending on each job and severity of wear but under £ 200 for my seat
here's a better picture seat back in place

Much appreciated, thank you.

Lovely garage by the way.

Let us know how long it lasts.. I have seen several reconnolised seats, including my own. All look great initially but in my experience it does not last very long and wears quickly back to original state. It is after all a process whereby they put a rubberised paint over the seat. It is not the same as bringing the leather back to it's original supple form. Have been shown two leather scraps, one reconnolised and one original.. and you can really see the difference in feel and flexibility.

i hear what you say but Steve did an Aston for me over 4 years ago and it still looks as good today he does it properly

did the 'House of Lords' seats so if its good enough for their bums its good enough for mine hahaha!

a quote from the website well worth a look
