Depending on the colour of the leather you can use a felt tip pen. This works best with brown and black leather. If its a very dark chocolate a black pen may work better than brown.

Good tips Bronco and Bree - think I may be in luck as it is a dark brown colour!! Alot cheaper advice than buying all the pricey stuff!

Thanks!

We had some damage to our dark brown leather sofa, phoned a company called Frurniture Doc (you may have to google it for the number), he advised us to try brown boot polish, rub it in then dry with hairdryer, repeat a couple of times and then buff with clean cloth, it worked for us 2 years ago.
Hope this helps.

Hello,

Please be gentle with me, I've just taken a trip here from the DFW boards.

A got double glazing yesterday and somewhere between yesterday and today I've discovered a scratch on my (cheap) leather sofa. It's not very deep but I will always notice it.

Is there anything I can do to either cure or disguise it?

Thanks everyone.

on our old and rather worn leather settee, we used shoe polish!

Hi KTjazz,

There's an earlier thread with some ideas that may help:

I'll add your thread to that one later to keep the suggestions together.

Get a local upholsterer to come out and repair it?
They'll be able to cover it up for you

We've done the shoe polish thing too. Some sofa polish is coloured. Just a general shine will improve it.

Hope this helps
