Is it a color issue?

Matching the color

How we land on the shade

The match decides whether leather color restoration CT owners end up pleased or with a sofa that looks coated in paint.

Matching leather color: find the shade
1. Find the shade
We hold swatches up to a clean area of the piece that has not worn.
Matching leather color: blend a test
2. Blend a test
The blend goes onto a card first, and never directly onto your sofa.
Matching leather color: compare once dry
3. Compare once dry
Wet color looks different, so the judgment is made on a cured card.
Matching leather color: topcoat
4. Topcoat
A clear coat at the factory sheen holds the new color in place.
Every color

Treat these as reference points rather than a list to choose from. We blend each color to the actual piece, shades missing here included.

An honest read

Where recoloring is not enough

New color only lasts on healthy leather. For these problems you hear it from us first, along with the repair that will last.

Leather needing a repair before color: flaking finish
Flaking finish
The surface layer is coming away, so new color has nothing to grip.
Leather needing a repair before color: bonded leather breaking up
Bonded leather breaking up
Splitting into plates right down to the fabric backing.
Leather needing a repair before color: a tear or hole
A tear or hole
Openings get repaired first, and only then is color applied.
The causes

Where the color goes

Most leather color restoration CT requests start with one of these four.

Bright rooms

In rooms facing south or west, the end of the sofa closest to the window bleaches.

Everyday rubbing

Denim, belt buckles and getting up and down wear the shade off arms and seat edges.

Strong cleaners

Household wipes and multi-surface sprays wear the finish down bit by bit.

Winter heating

Radiators and furnace air dry out the topcoat until it thins through.

What does leather color restoration involve?

It replaces color that has faded, worn thin or rubbed away. The leather is cleaned and prepped, a matching color is blended, applied in light coats and sealed. Leather color restoration CT customers hire us for returns the shade the piece started with rather than a different one.

Will you match my color exactly?

Yes. The blend is made against an unworn, clean area of your furniture and tried on a test card before it goes near the piece, and the sheen is matched along with the shade.

Is this the same thing as dyeing?

No. Dye penetrates the hide and changes it. Restoration rebuilds the factory finish on top, so the leather feels the way it did.

Will the new color come off on my clothes?

No. After the topcoat cures, the color sits sealed beneath it and does not transfer.

Could you do just one cushion?

Yes. One faded cushion or arm can be recolored and feathered into the rest, and often that is all a sofa needs.

How do I find out the price?

Send a picture of the worn spot, one of the full piece and one taken by a window in daylight, by text to (347) 310-7483 or by email to office@leatherrestorepro.com.
