Coming from Malbork
Leather restoration — Malbork
From Malbork and the Nogat area we mainly get boat and motorboat interiors — and upholstery from cars that stand outdoors all year round.
Leather and upholstery on a boat work in conditions in which furniture material doesn't stand a chance: damp, salt, full sun for the whole season, and no ventilation below deck all winter.
Boat interiors
We use materials resistant to UV and damp, and we run the seams so that water doesn't collect in the stitching. With cockpit seats we also replace what you can't see — foam that has soaked up water and no longer dries out.
Cars parked outdoors
The second common case: a car with no garage, where after a few years the leather on the dashboard and the tops of the seats is hard and cracked. Softening stops the process before the cracks become irreversible, and a protector shields it from the next season of sun.
Getting here
Malbork is about an hour from Gdańsk. With boat upholstery it's usually enough to bring just the seats and covers — there's no need to transport the boat.
What customers from Malbork bring us most often
Each of these services has its own page — with a description, the course of work and photos.
Impregnation and protection
Products that protect against UV, water and denim dye transfer — the most common cause of stains on light-coloured seats.
More about this serviceLeather softening
Leather exposed to the sun goes stiff — fastest of all in a car. Softening brings back its suppleness before it starts to crack.
More about this serviceLeather refresh
A lighter option for leather that isn't damaged, just tired: cleaning, conditioning and protection without re-colouring.
More about this serviceLeather that lives outdoors
The upholstery of a boat or of a car parked outside all year ages differently from upholstery kept in a garage. The sun burns out the colour and dries the leather from the top, moisture gets in from below through the seams and foam, and the temperature swing between day and night makes the finish move and crack in the folds.
What we do with interiors like these
First a deep clean — salt, algae and dust from the fields get into the pores of the leather, and unless they are removed no colour will hold. Then softening so the leather regains its suppleness, filling the cracks and colouring. Finally a protector with a UV filter, which for interiors kept outdoors is not an extra but the condition for the result to last more than one season.
Foam and covers
If the foam under the cover has soaked up water, restoring the leather alone is not enough — the foam would keep it damp from below. We tell you this straight away when we quote.
