Inspect, clean, condition, polish and recoat — all in one doorstep visit that fits inside your society's 2-hour visitor window.
Visit pre-cleared with your society gate and service lift. On arrival: hide audit (aniline / semi-aniline / pigmented), how far coastal humidity has clouded or made the surface tacky, exact polish package and price agreed before any product opens.
pH-balanced cleaner lifts the sticky salt-film, hair oils and skin transfer that coastal humidity binds onto the grain. Polishing a tacky hide seals contamination under the top-coat — this step prevents that.
Extra pass on seat front, armrest tops and headrest line where sea-spray and humidity soften the topcoat most. Nappa and aniline get a pigment-safe coastal formula so no colour pulls onto the cloth.
Pigment matched to your hide and laid on thin - a wax-based dressing on traditional aniline, a water-based coat on modern pigmented sets - then hand-buffed and sealed with a topcoat tuned to hold against salt-laden air, so the gloss does not turn tacky again by the next spring tide. Whole job fits the 2-hour visitor window; room back in use the same evening.
Mumbai's coastal air carries salt and sits at 60-80% humidity year-round — that combination softens the leather topcoat, clouds the gloss and leaves the surface feeling sticky and tacky to the touch. We come in with a coastal-grade conditioner and a colour-matched polish tuned to your hide type. Seafront flats in Bandra, Worli and Juhu need a recoat every 4-6 months; inland Powai and Andheri homes can stretch to 9.
On a sea-facing set, the first thing you notice is not the colour - it is the hand-feel. The topcoat goes faintly tacky months before it reads as dull, because salt and saturated air keep it from fully setting. We strip that salt film off the grain, feed the hide back to a leather-safe pH of 4.5-5.5, then seal a hand-buffed gloss so the air cannot soften it again - the same sticky-to-sealed finish we return on the sea-facing sets in Worli and Lower Parel.

On-site polish,
not a workshop job.
Air this close to the Arabian Sea carries salt and holds 65-85% humidity for most of the year, and the spray reaches sea-facing flats first. The nearer a home sits to the water, the sooner its gloss flattens and the surface turns tacky - so the recoat window shortens street by street. Belt-by-belt readings logged across more than a decade of in-home visits.
"Our Natuzzi sectional in Bandra had gone matte and sticky from the sea-air all monsoon. They lifted the salt-film and used a coastal conditioner — sheen back to showroom level, no tacky feel. Booked the 4-month check-in."
"Powai high-rise — the service-lift slot was tight, but the team coordinated with the society in advance and finished the full 3+2+1 set inside the 2-hour visitor window. Professional all the way."
"Juhu seafront flat — the gloss on our Chesterfields had completely flattened from the salt-spray. The patina they preserved while recoating was the whole reason we hired them over the cheaper service. Worth every rupee of the Atelier package."
One salt-air read decides the price. We gauge how far the sea-air has clouded and tacked your topcoat on-site, then lock the figure before any product touches the leather.
