Reupholstering leather suite

We have a leather suite with a sofa and two arm chairs.

It is 12 years old, but a decent quality one. Inherited it with the house we bought.

The previous owners cat has scratched the arms quite badly (ripped).

Does anyone have any idea how much it would cost to get the arms reupholstered? (All six of them!)

We love the sofa, so would like to try and get it repaired rather than buy a new one.

No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)

    if you just got the arms upholstered would they not be a different colour from the rest of the suite?

    It may be possible to repair the damage without replacing the leather.
