  …a load of cobblers or A cobbler would be extremely helpful for advice on how to re-surface or worst case ‘patch’ a laura ashley leather sofa where the nappa surface has come off (cat- me).leaving two small circles with the surface ‘skin’layer removed?
  any help much appreciated.

  IT will be an upholsterer that you need.
  
  Should be able to replace a panel if that is all that is needed.
  
  If you were in the Midlands there is one that I would wholeheartedly recommend in Kenilworth.

  cheers guys,
  saw a friendly cobbler yesterday late p.m.- who informed me that once the nappa surface has been scratched – there is no real repair except replacing a panel. So consequently am going to touch up the ‘holes’ using a little painted oil paint to match surround and then polish.

  Slightly different……..but i watch the car shows on sky ‘wheeler dealers’ and they occasionally have cars with leather seats that look really tatty – they take em to a professional leather painter and they come back as new
