A new year is the perfect chance to update your home, and giving your leather furniture a colour makeover is one of the simplest ways to transform your space. If your leather has faded in the Kiwi sun, developed uneven colouring, or just feels outdated, professional recolouring can restore its richness and give your furniture a completely renewed look.
The Leather Doctor provides professional leather recolouring and refinishing services that revive worn or faded leather, helping your furniture feel fresh, modern and ready for the year ahead.
A Fresh Start for Your Leather This New Year
Leather naturally changes over time due to:
- UV exposure
- General wear and daily use
- Oils and moisture from skin contact
- Incorrect cleaning products
- Age-related colour loss
Recolouring restores depth, vibrancy and consistency, giving your lounge suites, recliners and dining chairs a clean, updated appearance.

Recolouring vs Replacing: Why It Makes Sense
Replacing leather furniture can be costly, especially when the structure is still in excellent condition. Professional recolouring offers a more affordable and sustainable alternative with impressive results.
Recolouring can:
- Restore faded or washed-out surfaces
- Fix uneven tones and sun damage
- Conceal scratches and scuffs
- Modernise dated furniture colours
- Add years of life to your existing pieces
Our advanced colour-matching system ensures your recoloured leather blends seamlessly for a natural, uniform finish.
Leave It to the Professionals
DIY leather colouring kits often result in blotchy finishes, incorrect shades and potential long-term damage. Professional recolouring delivers quality, durability and a finish that looks and feels like new.
The Leather Doctor technicians use:
- High-quality leather-safe coatings
- Correct preparation and application techniques
- Precise colour matching
- Protective finishing coats for added durability
If your furniture has cracks, peeling or structural wear, our team can repair these issues first through our leather repair and restoration services.
Give Your Home a Fresh Look for the Year Ahead
A colour change can dramatically elevate your living space, especially as you reset your home for the New Year. Whether you’re refreshing your decor, updating your colour palette, or restoring sun-faded leather, recolouring offers a dramatic transformation.
Popular choices include:
- Deepening faded black or brown leather
- Shifting from outdated tones to more modern colours
- Restoring brightness to UV-affected areas
- Matching furniture to renovated spaces
Recolouring can make your furniture look newer, cleaner and more aligned with your 2026 home style.
Protect Your Newly Recoloured Leather
After recolouring, we apply a specialised protective topcoat to help your furniture stay beautiful for longer. This protective layer helps:
- Guard against spills
- Slow down future fading
- Reduce wear from friction
- Improve long-term durability
