Leather Re-dyeing & Color Restoration in NYC — Exact Color Matching
Faded, sun-bleached, and discolored leather can look years older than it is. We restore the original color using custom-blended pigments mixed and tested on-site against the actual leather. Whether it's patches of UV damage, transfer stains from jeans, or a sofa that's simply lost its richness, we bring back depth and uniformity without removing the piece from your home.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you dye leather a completely different color?+
We specialize in restoring leather to its original color. A full color change is possible but requires stripping and full refinishing — contact us to discuss your situation.
How do you match the original leather color?+
We hand-blend pigments on-site from a professional library of bases, testing against your leather until the color and sheen read correctly before applying to the full surface.
My sofa has sun-bleached patches — can that be fixed?+
Yes. Sun bleaching is one of our most common repairs. We restore the bleached areas and apply a UV-protective top coat to prevent future fading.
Is sun damage the same as fading?+
Sun exposure often causes fading, but it can also dry the finish and weaken the leather surface. Color restoration works best when the leather is still stable; cracked or brittle areas may need repair before recoloring.
Can dye transfer or dark clothing stains be color corrected?+
Yes. When cleaning alone cannot remove dye transfer, the affected area can often be prepared, color corrected, and sealed to blend with the surrounding leather. Severe dye migration may require a wider recolor for an even result.
How long does re-dyeing take?+
Spot color restoration takes 1–2 hours. Full sofa recoloring takes 3–6 hours depending on size — all in a single on-site visit.
How much does leather re-dyeing cost in NYC?+
Spot restoration starts from $200. Full sofa recoloring from $300–$500 depending on size. Free estimate before we begin.
