Before / AfterRecolour & Feed
Kolkata's high humidity and months-long monsoon keep the topcoat soft and slightly tacky, so the gloss goes flat and airborne grime sticks to the surface. We come in with a hide-grade conditioner and a colour-matched polish tuned to your hide type, then buff a dry even sheen back. Damp Ballygunge and Alipore homes need a recoat every 5–7 months; AC-dried New Town towers can stretch to 9.
A Park Street aniline that the damp has turned soft and faintly sticky no longer reads as the even satin the set was bought for — humidity holds the grime on the surface and the gloss falls flat. We buff that tackiness back to a dry even satin the wet season cannot re-soften, re-balancing the pigment only where months of damp have thinned it, the same finish we return to heritage drawing rooms in Alipore and Ballygunge.

On-site polish,
not a workshop job.
Indoor humidity here sits at 60-90% for much of the year and climbs past 85% through the monsoon, which keeps the finish soft and slightly tacky and dulls aniline fastest in the older heritage homes. The wetter the room, the shorter the satin holds. These intervals come from in-home readings logged street by street.
Inspect, clean, condition, polish and seal — the whole monsoon-tack reset done on-site, finished inside the 2-hour gate slot your Ballygunge or Salt Lake society allows.
Visit pre-cleared with your society gate. On arrival: hide audit (aniline / semi-aniline / pigmented), how flat or tacky the topcoat has gone, exact polish package and price agreed before any product opens.
pH-balanced cleaner lifts the grime that binds to humidity-softened topcoats, plus hair oils and skin transfer from the grain. Polishing a dirty hide seals contamination under the top-coat — this step prevents that.
Extra pass on seat front, armrest tops and headrest line where monsoon damp has dulled the hide most. Nappa and aniline get a pigment-safe formula so no colour pulls onto the cloth.
A pigment-matched finish goes on in thin coats — a breathable wax for older traditional hides, a water-based topcoat for modern pigmented sets — then hand-buffed down to a dry satin the wet season cannot turn tacky again. Whole job fits the 2-hour visitor window; room back in use the same evening.
"Our Natuzzi sectional in Ballygunge had gone cloudy and slightly sticky after the monsoon. They stripped the dull film, reconditioned the hide and buffed the sheen back to showroom level — no tacky feel left at all. Booked the next-season check-in."
"Salt Lake flat — society security gate slot was tight, but the team coordinated in advance and finished the full 3+2+1 set inside the 2-hour visitor window. The gloss that the damp had flattened came right back. Professional all the way."
"Park Street office reception Chesterfields — booked outside work hours so no team disruption. The patina they preserved was the whole reason we hired them over the cheaper service. Worth every rupee of the Atelier package."
