Full lounge restoration —
the level above cleaning.
Colour, texture and protection — restored end-to-end
Restoration isn't cleaning. Cleaning only removes what sits on top; restoration rebuilds the colour, the texture, the feel and the protective finish. For anything beyond surface dust, restoration is what actually resets the life of the piece.
From $299 · Typically 5–15% of replacement cost

Why it matters who you choose
Independent specialist
vs franchise network.
Most Canberra customers don't realise until the quote arrives that the national brand they just rang is a franchise — with franchise fees, a call centre and a variable local operator.
Franchise network
The usual experience
- Franchise fees passed to clients
- You deal with a call centre — not your technician
- Quality varies by individual franchisee
- Generic national products and processes
- Response time depends on territory operator

Send a photo now →Cleaning removes surface contaminants. Restoration rebuilds what's underneath — colour, protective coat, conditioning. If your leather is cracking, fading, shiny or patchy, cleaning alone won't fix it.
Often yes. If the substrate is still intact (no major tears in the underlying leather), we can re-colour and re-seal old leather back to a better-than-factory finish. Send us photos and we'll tell you honestly.
No. All work is done in-home. We lay drop sheets and work around existing placement. For some recliner suites we may ask you to keep children and pets out of the room for 4–6 hours while the coat cures.
A two-seat takes 3–4 hours. A three-seat 4–6 hours. A full suite (3+2+1 or recliner bank) is typically done across a single day with a follow-up visit to buff and check the cured finish.
