Why color fades

What takes the color out

Leather color restoration NJ calls usually trace back to one of these.

Sunny windows

South- and west-facing rooms fade the side of a sofa nearest the glass.

Daily friction

Jeans, belts and sliding in and out wear color off seat fronts and arms.

Harsh cleaners

Wipes and all-purpose sprays strip the finish a little at a time.

Dry heat

Radiators and forced air dry the top coat until it wears through.

What is leather color restoration?

It puts back color that has worn, faded or rubbed off. We clean and prepare the leather, mix a color to match it, apply it in thin coats and seal it. Leather color restoration NJ owners book with us brings back the original shade, not a new one.

Can you match my exact color?

Yes. We mix against a clean, unworn part of your piece and test on a card before anything touches the furniture, then match the sheen as well as the shade.

Is it the same as dyeing leather?

No. Dye soaks in and changes the hide. Restoration builds the original finish back on the surface, so the leather keeps its feel.

Will the color rub off on clothes?

No. Once the topcoat has cured, the color is sealed under it and won't transfer.

Can you restore just one cushion?

Yes. A single faded cushion or arm can be restored and blended into the rest, which is often all a sofa needs.

How do I get a price?

Text or email a photo of the worn area, one of the whole piece and one taken near a window in daylight to (347) 310-7483 or office@leatherrestorepro.com.
