Interiors carry the miles honestly: leather cracks in the Algarve sun, steering wheels wear smooth, headliners let go in the heat. Our upholstery side rebuilds rather than disguises — seats re-stitched and re-trimmed by hand, wheels brought back to factory touch, and a straight answer about what's worth restoring versus replacing.
Small damage repairs invisibly: a cracked bolster, a cigarette burn, a worn seam. Recolouring revives faded hide — honestly labelled as cosmetics, because aged material can keep ageing and we say so before starting. The gold standard is the re-trim: new leather, cut and stitched to the original patterns or upgraded to your spec — and that work, like headliner replacement and panel work, is guaranteed. Changing leather colour entirely? Possible, but in most cases a full re-trim beats repainting old hides on both quality and lifespan for similar money.
“I'll always try the honest repair before I sell a re-trim — a cracked bolster or a worn seam usually disappears with careful work, and I only reach for new leather when the hide itself has genuinely given up.”
The wheel wears faster than any seat — smooth patches, shiny leather, flaking paint on spokes. We rebuild them: re-padded where needed, re-covered in leather or alcantara, stitched by hand, spokes refinished. The before-and-after steering wheel work in our portfolio is some of the most-watched content we publish, because the transformation is total.
Upholstery work starts clean: extraction cleaning of seats and carpets, alcantara handled with the care it demands, ozone treatment when smells live deeper than surfaces. Cars come back dry — in rainy weather a hint of dampness may linger a day, never wet seats. And where a soaked or mouldy interior needs full recovery, that's a service too, from €1,000 depending on depth.
Often, yes — localised repair and recolouring handle cracks, burns and worn seams. When the hide is structurally tired we'll recommend a re-trim instead and show you why on the car.
Where we re-stitch, re-trim or replace — headliners, panels, leather — yes, guaranteed. Cosmetic recolouring of already worn material is honest cosmetics: it looks right, but old material can keep ageing, and we tell you that before we start.
Yes — re-padded, re-covered in leather or alcantara, hand-stitched, spokes refinished. Two to three days in most cases; the before/after examples are in our portfolio.
Yes — alcantara care, fabric extraction cleaning, headliners in both. The material dictates the method; the standard stays the same.
