What Causes Leather to Crack and Peel Over Time?
Leather is a natural material that requires regular care and conditioning. When leather loses its natural oils and moisture, it dries out and becomes brittle, leading to surface cracks.
Peeling typically occurs when the protective topcoat or color layer breaks down due to age, sun exposure, harsh cleaners, or lack of proper maintenance. Below are the most common causes of leather cracking and peeling.
Dryness & Lack of Conditioning
Without regular conditioning, leather loses its natural oils and moisture. Over time, this causes the surface to dry out, stiffen, and develop cracks or peeling. Proper leather care is essential to prevent long-term damage.
Sunlight & Heat Exposure
Excessive sunlight and heat dry out leather fibers, leading to fading, cracking, and surface peeling. Areas near windows, heaters, or direct sunlight are especially vulnerable to premature leather deterioration.
General Wear & Aging
Daily use creates friction, stretching, and creasing — particularly on seats, armrests, and high-contact areas. As leather ages, its protective finish weakens, making it more prone to cracks and peeling if not properly maintained.
Harsh Cleaners or Improper Care
Household cleaners, wipes, and alcohol-based products can strip leather’s protective coating. This often accelerates cracking and peeling, even when cleaning is done with good intentions.
Low-Quality or Faux Leather Materials
Bonded and faux leather materials are more likely to peel and crack over time. While repairs are possible, damage may reappear. In some cases, we recommend professional reupholstery with genuine leather for a longer-lasting solution.
Professional Crack & Peeling Repair
Understanding what causes leather cracking and peeling helps prevent future damage. When deterioration has already occurred, our crack & peeling repair service restores the leather’s surface, color, and durability — extending the life of your furniture without replacement.
Benefits of Professional Crack & Peeling Leather Repair vs. Replacement
Cracked or peeling leather doesn’t mean your furniture needs to be replaced. In most cases, professional crack and peeling repair restores both appearance and durability at a fraction of the cost of buying new furniture.
Crack and peeling repair is usually completed on-site in a single visit. No waiting weeks for delivery, no removing furniture, no disruption to your home or business.
Our technicians repair cracked leather surfaces, restore flexibility, and refinish peeling areas so your furniture is usable immediately.
Repairing cracked or peeling leather is significantly more affordable than replacement. New leather furniture or full reupholstery can cost thousands, while professional crack & peeling leather repair targets only the damaged areas — saving you money without sacrificing results.
Professional crack peeling repair should be performed with leather-safe methods and proper surface preparation. For general guidance on safe cleaning and exposure prevention, you can review resources from IICRC and CDC.
