The Upholstery Forum

I currenlty do furniture and Marine upholstery. I am looking at expanding into vinyl and leather repairs when customers only want something like a small tear reapired in their vinyl without a full re-upholster. I dont know anything about the best products to use and which company offers the best training/support for questions. Any help would be great. Thanks

Check out Vinyl Pro. They sell products for vinyl/leather repair and offer training. https://www.vinylpro.com/

That is really good. I think that is pretty amazing work.

Replacing a section and finding an exact match of material will be a real issue. I have done section repair, i told the customer i wouldnt recommend it , when sew a section in that has already been sewn it could make it weakier.

@ChapelWorx , encourage a rebuild , why not change the look and keep you busy!

Sometimes they just want to spend less.

@ChapelWorx , and sometimes it is sensible. I do not know much about that stuff but have a technician I refer people too.
