Leather treatment

Cleaned leather as per instructions, applied dye as per instructions, applied leather conditioner as per instructions which promptly removed previously applied dye and left leather looking exactly like before I started. Good service, terrible product

Hi Paul, Im sorry you have had an issue. I suspect that unfortunately you have ordered the incorrect item for the leather you have. I have tried calling and I have emailed you to try to assist you but I have not heard back. Please get in touch if we can help.

First class product

I purchased a leather touch up pen to repair damage to one of my car seats. The colour was a perfect match and the result is virtually invisible. A first class product

A good product

The product itself seems to be just what I wanted. Scratchdoctor have been let down by their chosen courier - DHL. I was told it would arrive on a Thursday but it didn't. I was then told it would arrive on the Friday. The van driver just posted a "sorry we missed you" card through my letter box then ran away, all in about 30 seconds. I was then told it would arrive on the Monday but instead it was left outside in the rain sometime on Saturday. Terrible service, and if Scratchdoctor want to improve their score they need to find a better delivery system

Im very sorry you have had such a terrible time with DHL but it does feel very unfair that you have given us the poor review when it could have been left on the DHL Trustpilot page as it doesn't have anything to do with our products and does pull our rating down.

Let down by the Post Office

Scratch Doctor were great the first time I used them, they combined 2 orders into 1 to reduce postage with no trouble at all.
The third order left their premises at 1600 on a Friday arriving at a main sorting office nearby at midnight. I was notified the delivery would be 0800-1200 on Monday. Close to the promised 48 hours and acceptable. Parcel arrived at my local sorting office, Chelmsford,on Sunday morning, great. On Monday tracking showed it on way to Midlands main post office ??? OnTuesday tracking showed it on the way back to Chelmsford. Delivered Wednesday morning.
I would give Scratch Doctor 5 stars except for the Post Offices incompetance.
Their products are simple to use, effective with good back-up videos on YouTube. Highly recommend.

I followed step by step instructions to sand, prep, fill and paint the leather sofa, then applied top coat layers and it worked out great. I couldn't get the exact cream colour paint so mixed light grey with light cream until it was right, for anyone who is used to doing gel nails (or seeing them done) it's a very similar process :)

Does a great job

Other than a bit of a wait for delivery, I found the alloy wheel repair kit very good, the primer/filler took out the deep kerb dents and then the paint went over really well after I had sanded the filler down, I haven’t yet put the lacquer on but it’s already looking really good. Would definitely recommend, I also now believe it does say allow 10 days for delivery, I never see that before.

I orderd a week ago and nothing

I ordered a bottle of leather dye in a cognac-like color with the happy thought of repainting the seats in my car. It has now been over a week, and I still haven't received any update on my order beyond a receipt. I also can't log in to the site; it says I don’t have an account. No link has been sent so I can track my order. I feel very disappointed and worried because this was the only thing I could afford to treat myself to this month in a tight budget.

My wrong! All is well!

Sorry!

Im sorry you are experiencing an issue. We don't have accounts for individuals to log into? I have noticed that you haven't reached out to us for any assistance in this matter so we could have assisted you without the need to leave us a 1 star review? Your item arrived in Sweden on the 4th and is currently in customs. We do ask for upto 10 days for delivery and we are still within this window. I am hopeful it will be with you very soon.

Jaded leather sofas looking doomed - not now!

Leather sofas looking jaded and in need of upgrade. Saw the reviews on this product thought would give it a punt. Best decision ever made regarding the sofas. Product absolutely smashed it and colour was bonzer looks like sofas have another few years. Friends want to know what this magic cream is and I have told them.

Ordered All in one leather dye and the colour doesn't apply

I ordered Tan all in one leather dye to dye a car interior. However after I had prepped the surfaces (I know how to do this as I've bought a kit from them in the past) the dye hasn't seemed to do anything. It just puts a glaze of sorts over the leather, and no colour seems to apply.

The sponge I used to apply the product also has not dried with the dye in it as I forgot to clean them out, leading me to believe there is too much water in the product.

Im sorry you have an issue but i do see that you haven't contacted us for assistance in this matter so we could try and resolve it for you. I appreciate you know how to carry out the process of recolouring but there was no prep kit purchased with the All in One which is an integral part of the process. There is not 'too much water in our All in One. It is a water based non toxic paint that needs to be 'thin' as it is designed to go through a spray gun as described in the listings.

GREAT PURCHASE !!

I am so pleased with my purchase, I bought too big a size of the colour dye though 250 ml , but I thought I might have to cover all the 3 piece suite if it didn’t match and it does go a long way with a sponge.
Our leather 3 piece suite is 15 years old but the settee is the only bit that we sit on and use really. The 2 chairs are as new .
I used a 50ml tin covering the cracks in the two bottom panels.
Plus 5 coats of the colour dye.
A small hole in the back of one sofa seat has filled in well too.
Because it is such a dark brown, almost black, I wasn’t sure how good it would be , but I am really pleased with the result. Other patchy bits that weren’t cracked have covered well with the dye too.
I would be happy to review on trust pilot unless you would prefer somewhere I can attach my photos to.
Thank you for a great product.
Kind Regards.
Cheryl Worsley.

Did exactly what I hoped it would!

I have a Mercedes with Alpaca coloured leather trim. The bolster area on the driver's seat was looking a little scratched & worse for wear with getting in & out of the car over the years. I read on an MB blog site that they had success using this product, so I thought I'd give it a try.
I bought the 250ml all-in-one product, which was a perfect match for my leather seat. Simply by using a sponge to apply the 'paint' over the damaged area gave a brilliant result. The wear on my driver's seat is no longer noticeable & looks great.

Perfect result

I am absolutely thrilled with the result I achieved when changing the colour from brown to grey on a leather chair. I followed the instructions to the letter and I enjoyed doing it. Highly recommend, your product is amazing.
