Uticolor Information

The seventies brought a massive increase in the use of plastics in motor vehicles and accordingly Uticolor created materials and repair techniques to bond, weld and finish these plastics. The eighties saw a resurgence of leather upholstery in both motor vehicles and domestic furniture. Uticolor adapted again by developing its own leather repair materials and processes. It was at this time Keith's son Lindsay took on a managerial role with the company after working as a Uticolor sub-contractor in the field and studying plastics and surface coatings. In more recent years Uticolor has formulated range of highly specialised water-based coatings that perform to the exacting standards of product performance required for modern leather finishes. It is this technology that allows Uticolor technicians to regularly service the furnishing needs of clients such as Australian Parliament Buildings, The High Court and The Reserve Bank of Australia. Not forgetting our roots, our repairers are just as willing and able to attend to the needs of individual clients and households should even a small nick or cut might need attention. Sadly, founder Keith Smith passed away in 2009 but he has left behind him Australia's premier mobile plastic and vinyl repair service whose franchisees take pride in their standard of work, the sharing knowledge within the system and our achievements over the passage of time.
