Understand the repair
What this service does
Leather re-colouring is a meticulous process that restores the vibrant look of your car's interior. We use high-quality pigments designed specifically for automotive hides to ensure the color does not flake or peel. This service is ideal for Range Rover and Jaguar owners who want to maintain a showroom aesthetic.

What you may notice
Signs you need this service
- Faded patches from sun exposure
- Permanent discoloration from clothing dyes
- Uneven tone across the seat bolsters
What can cause the problem?
- Prolonged exposure to UV rays through the windscreen causes pigments to break down.
- Chemical reactions from harsh cleaning products can strip the original factory tint.
- Constant friction from entering and exiting the vehicle wears away the surface dye.
From inspection to finish
How the work is carried out
Inspect and identify
A technician performs a digital color analysis to identify the exact factory pigment code. We then prepare the leather surface by removing all waxes and silicone residues that might prevent adhesion.

Repair the confirmed fault
We apply the custom-blended pigment using precision airbrushing techniques for a smooth, streak-free finish. Multiple thin layers are built up to ensure complete coverage and a natural look.

Check the result
Once dry, we apply a matte or satin clear coat to stabilize the color. The seat is then buffed and checked under high-intensity lighting to ensure color uniformity.
The exact procedure depends on your vehicle and inspection findings. A technician confirms the work before repair.
Why it matters
Ignoring faded leather leads to the hide drying out and becoming brittle. Eventually, the leather will split, necessitating an expensive full replacement instead of a simple recolour.
Before you drive
Avoid using household oil-based cleaners as they can cause the new pigment to delaminate.
