About Leather Recolouring Balm

About Leather Balm

The Colour Renew Balm will renew, revive and restore the colour and characteristics of all absorbent leather items both old and new. There are 16 colours formulated for use on leather, from a dark to light shade.

It works great for restoring the colour back to any leather item which may have suffered from colour fading due to exposure to sunlight or direct heat; it also works to help repair minor damage such as peeling, cracking, scuffed surfaces and cat scratches. It works great on dried out leather too. The Colour Renew Balm dye works by soaking into the leather, keeping the surface soft, supple, and durable, and will not rub off onto your clothes. The Colour Renew Balm is made from leather conditioner with added colour restorer, which makes it an excellent leather restoration cream.

Simply reinstates the colour with only one application! Additional applications can be applied during the refurbishment in order to reach your desired colour. With use, the leather will fade again but this can be reduced by using our Luxgrove Leather Repair Salve. The Leather Recolouring Balm is generally re-applied once every three years.

Restored Cushions

NOTE: To fix scuffs and scratches, the Colour Renew Balm will only work if the scratch has gone to a lighter colour than the leather. This will allow the Balm to soak into the scuff or scratch, blending the damage in. If the scuff or scratch is darker than the surrounding area, you will need a Complete Leather Repair Kit. You can still use the Recolouring Balm in order to restore the colour to the rest of your item.

NOTE: For lighter patches, the Colour Renew Balm will only work if it is able to soak into your leather – to test this, put a tiny drop of water onto the damaged area and see if it soaks in within five seconds. If the leather is absorbent, the water will soak in and darken the leather. If the leather isn’t absorbent the water will bead up on the surface, and you will need a Leather Prep & Deglazer.

The Colour Renew Balm should only be applied to the lighter, absorbent areas of the leather to help blend them with the surrounding surface. If used on an undamaged area, the Balm will merely sit on the surface, drying without proper absorption, and will wipe away upon contact with water.
