Issue · 042 · Spring MMXXVI The Practice of Restoration

A new colour is not paint -
it is a new finish chemistry on a living hide.

Spray-paint a leather sofa and the colour cracks off in 8 months. We use water-based pigments designed to bond at the molecular level into a stripped, prepared hide, then seal with a flexible topcoat engineered for daily flex cycles.

Why Choose Us

Pigment Chemistry, Not Spray Paint

A leather colour change is a chemistry job, not a paint job. The wrong product cracks off in months. We use water-based pigments and flexible topcoats engineered specifically for natural and pigmented leather hides.

Why Choose Us

UV-Stable Flexible Topcoat

The topcoat is the finish that fails first on cheap re-pigmentation jobs. Ours is a polyurethane micro-emulsion that flexes with the hide through 100,000+ sit cycles and resists UV-fading in Indian sunlight.

05
Why Choose Us

Two-Tone & Ombre Finishes

Hand-feathered pigment passes for two-tone, ombre, antique-rub or distressed effects. We re-create the original gradient effect from luxury Italian and French houses.

About TLR

A Real Colour Change, Not a Spray Job

Most leather colour change services in India are spray-paint jobs - automotive PU paint applied to leather. They look great for a season and crack off in panels by month nine. We do the opposite: an eight-stage process beginning with a full topcoat strip, then water-based pigment applied in 4-6 micro-coats, finished with a UV-stable flexible topcoat that bonds to the hide and moves with it.

Old Shade To New, Verdicts In Colour change projects across India - the original shade, the new shade, and the verdict.

"We bought a beige B&B Italia in 2014 and by 2024 our walls were charcoal and the sofa looked wrong. They came in for two days, took the beige down to a deep slate, and now it belongs to the room. Two years on, no cracking, no fade."

"Old tan Chesterfield from my grandfather's chambers, sentimental but the tan was tired. They matched a deep antique cognac with a hand-rubbed effect that genuinely looks 50 years old. Best money I've spent on furniture."

"My faded brown Roche Bobois got a full charcoal-grey conversion before our flat sale. The agent said it added 8 lakh to the asking price. Worth every rupee just for that."

With our 8-stage water-based pigment system and UV-stable flexible topcoat, expect 8 to 12+ years before any visible touch-up is needed. Spray-paint jobs (which we do not do) typically crack off in 8 to 18 months.
Yes. Dark to light is technically harder than light to dark - it requires more base coats to opacity-correct - but it is fully possible. Examples we have done: black to taupe, espresso to sand, oxblood to cognac.
Not when the pigment system is correct. Cracking and peeling are signs of solvent paint applied to leather without proper preparation. Our water-based system bonds into the hide and our flexible topcoat is engineered for daily flex cycles.
No - water-based pigments have a faint biscuit-like smell that fully dissipates in 12 hours. There are no solvent fumes. The room is safe to occupy after the 24-hour cure window.
Yes. Bring a Pantone reference, fabric sample, wall-paint chip, or even a photograph. Our colour kitchen carries 240+ leather pigment masters and we mix to match on-site under daylight reference.
Starts at INR 5,500 per seat; final total depends on seat count, confirmed at the free home diagnosis. All prices include doorstep application across India.
