A small selection of our leather recolouring repairs
Leather colour loss can be the result of normal wear and tear. Leather repairs offer a solution to damage caused to the finish by dye transfer from non colourfast clothes where the colour of the leather is stained by the dye from new blue jeans for example or by spillages of chemicals such as nail varnish and nail varnish remover, ink or hair products such as hairspray. This can usually be remedied by cleaning, mixing a correct colour and applying a leather pigment and sealer to the affected area.
