The damp never leaves.
So the bond cannot either.

Kolkata barely gets a dry month. Indoor humidity stays high through most of the year, so the adhesive under the leather surface never firms up and the face keeps lifting. We pare, re-adhere, recolour and seal in the room - no pickup, no workshop trip.

A bond rated for the damp

Our PU compound cures and holds at the 85-90% RH Kolkata runs most of the year, where ordinary adhesives never set hard enough to stay.

MOULD STRIP & TREAT

Mould, dealt with under the finish

We strip the affected coat, treat the hide and reseal - because wiping mould off the surface leaves what undermines the finish from below.

If it does not survive the damp,
it was not a repair.

Bond, dye and seal all have to hold on a panel that sits in 85%+ humidity for most of the year, with mould always trying to get back under the finish. We test for that before anything ships to a Kolkata job.

FAQ · Kolkata

What Kolkata asks,
answered plainly.

Six things people ask before they let us into the house - cost, year-round peeling, mould under the finish, coverage, and whether repair beats replacement. Anything not on this list, just call.

Still have questions about the humidity peel or the mould under your finish? Our Kolkata leather specialists give straight answers - no scripts, no upsell.

Call a Specialist
Starts at ₹6,500 per seat. The final number depends on how much panel area the peel has reached and the exact leather grade. We do the diagnosis on-site in your Kolkata home for free and hand you the figure before anyone opens a tin. The ₹999 numbers you see online are cyanoacrylate patches; those lift again within a season in this humidity.
Kolkata almost never gets a dry stretch. Indoor humidity stays high through most of the calendar, so the adhesive layer under the leather surface stays soft and the face keeps lifting in long sheets rather than failing once and stopping. The fix is to pare the lifted edges, prep the substrate and re-adhere with a humidity-rated bond - not cyanoacrylate, which fails again within a season here.
Yes. Mould in Kolkata homes works under the finish, not just on top of it, so wiping it off is never the end of the job. We strip the affected finish back, treat the hide, then recolour and seal the panel so the mould has nothing to feed on when the damp returns. A surface wipe alone lets it come straight back.
Yes. Same-day if we get a morning call, next-day otherwise. Ballygunge, Alipore, Park Street, Gariahat and Tollygunge in the older south are routine for us. So is the newer stock in Salt Lake, New Town, Rajarhat, Lake Town and Dum Dum, plus Behala and across the river in Howrah.
Depends on what is under the finish. If the substrate is still strong and the damp has only loosened the surface, a humidity-rated rebond plus a breathable sealer holds and saves you a new sofa. If the hide has rotted through from years of wall damp, I will tell you to replace it, not repair. We do not take on jobs we cannot stand behind.
Plan for 1.5 to 3 hours on a 3-seater from the time we walk into your Kolkata flat to the time you can sit on it. A big sectional needing a full mould strip, treat and reseal can run 4 to 5 hours. Either way it is one visit - we do not stage returns to drag the job out.

Testimonials

Trusted across Kolkata homes from Ballygunge houses to Salt Lake flats

"Our Ballygunge sofa had been peeling in long strips for two summers - the damp here just never lets the surface settle. Tyson's team rebonded the lifted layer with a humidity-rated bond and re-tinted the panel at home in one visit. A full year on, it has held."

"Green mould had crept across the seat cushions of our Salt Lake sofa during the rains. They explained it was working under the finish, stripped the affected coat, treated the hide and resealed it. Priced before starting, done in one afternoon, no smell left behind."

Bappa Chakraborty
Salt Lake, Kolkata

"We live in an old Alipore flat and the wall damp had soaked into the back of the sofa - the leather felt clammy and was losing colour. They pulled the moisture out, recoloured, and finished with a breathable seal so the hide can still let the damp go. Feels dry to the touch now."
