Scratch Doctor Leather Filler Repair Compound Fill Holes Cracks Scratches Scuffs on Leather Furniture Car Seats Shoes and Bags (Cream, 10ml)

I had an expensive pair of winter boots with horrible PU faux leather coating which after only three wears had started to peel off making them look awful and not weatherproof at all, unfortunately I still really liked the original look of them and grudged that if paid a lot for what I thought were good boots and thought I might be able to rescue them. I stripped the PU coating off with my dremel and a semi round stone attachment, I found sanding ones too abrasive. I used a brush to apply first and second layer then allowed it to dry overnight. Once dry I wanted some leather texture so next layer I used a brush to put blobs on then flat make up sponge to dab it evenly. Once dry I did a very light sand with 800 grit wet and dry(used dry) followed by application of kiwi express black cream polish. My boots now look fantastic and if I saw them in a shop I would totally buy them, most importantly they are now weatherproof as they should have been. I'm really pleased with the results, would definitely recommend this product but I will stress you do have to be patient to get the results. I have attached photos once I stripped the coating and when I finished recoat and polish.

Despite telling her off each time, our cat hasn't twigged that we don't want our leather sofa clawed to bits. We were on the verge of getting rid of it (the sofa, not Puss), until I had a look at products which claim to be able to repair cat scratch and other similar damage and thought this would be worth a try. As you can see from my "before" photo, there were lots of claw-holes, where the underlying substrate had been pulled through. Initially, I trimmed these as best I could, using nail scissors. I then used a Q-tip to dab small amounts of the filler into each hole. left it for an hour or so and then, after a gentle sanding to smooth out any lumpy bits, I polished it all up with the Scratch Doctor Dye Restorer. The results? Well not perfect, but a lot better than it was and I reckon we'll keep this extremely comfortable leather sofa for a bit longer now.

Good product

I have been using this to repair cracks and tears in my leather settee arm For tears I glue some leather underneath and then fill in the join with this Can't quite get the colour match so some more shades of brown would help

Never again! Only writing this to tell you what NOT to do as I made a total balls up when using this on a pair of boots and, if you do the same, how I eventually managed to fix it. Firstly, the instructions tell you to use a wooden stick to put this on in thin layers...I knew better and used a small paint brush (for the bend cracks in country boots)...dried it off with a hair dryer (as instructed)...eek...dull coloured grey/brown streaks that wouldn't buff up or polish up to match the natural shine of the original boot...just awful. Tried to use soap and water to remove...no...nail varnish remover...nope...turps...not budging! The only way I managed to get most of it off was to reappy another layer in circular motions (small patches at a time) and use a cloth to quickly rub as hard as I could. It worked to remove the majority and, not sure if I am imagining things or if I am just relieved that I now how a wearable boots again, but I think it might have made the boot coverage slightly improved??????...hence at least one star. Good luck!

Considering it was going to cost me £175 to get these shoes repaired and they don’t even cost that much new, I knew I had to try myself... This stuff is a game changer! The first image is the damage I’d done and the second is after applying the filler (the third is how it looks now I’ve added the paint as well - I’m beyond impressed!!). It’s so easy to use and mega value for money - the pot is tiny and I was surprised when it arrived thinking how expensive it was for that much, but a little goes a long way - I could probably do a whole sofa with this pot, hahaha! It takes a few coats and you have to be patient but the drying process is fast and it leaves the product feeling so smooth - no ridges or gaps, as good as new surface - I’d thoroughly recommend!!

Unfortunately I have to rate this at two stars. The positives are that the filler is easy to apply with a workable viscosity which aids in getting a smooth finish. Also the colour is consistent. However for me the most important quality is missing which is the robustness of the filler itself when dried which is severely lacking. I have experience performing leather repairs and thought I'd try this filler but I cannot recommend it due to its low adhesion and all round poor strength. I had build up several layers over days to ensure sufficient drying and to get a perfect finish. The finish WAS good to the eye but not practical in terms of useability. I found the filler quickly started to come away and within a day all that was left was the original leather. Unfortunately I have tried a few different attempts with ensuring the leather was cleaned, dry and sanded back to have a nice surface to grab too but no joy. If you require a filler which will not be touched, strained, etc then this could be suitable, however if you require the repair to be under any type of duress then avoid this filler.

The product does what it says. I bought this to repair the split leather on my steering wheel. It was easily applied using the supplied wooden coffee stirrer, and easy to fill and smoother off after as instructed to good effect. The only down side is the product life... meaning once opened it won't last, so if I have another repair to make I'd need to buy another tin. Overall, great product.

Ottimo Prodotto per riparare piccoli danni.Effetto stucco.

Difficult to match colour and apply filler to an upight area.

Werkt goed op kleine gaatjes. In verschillende keren op te vullen maar resultaat is ok

Bonjour, je pensais que c’était plus efficace pour boucher les trous sur des sièges en cuir. Vu la description ne correspond pas aux produits.

The paste worked well.
