It's very easy when doing a clean to first get them wet or even worse start firing a steamer at them. Resist the temptation and always start a clean with dry clean methods. Our crumbly eraser/combi brush achieving great results on this pair of GT Manchester.
Amazing first day and thanks to everyone for they're well wishes, its really humbling to have so much support. Fantastic to see some of the lads who came to visit. Lots of trainers dropped off to work on. Already got our work cut out 😅 Much love from us all

Cleaning kit. 300ml (enough to clean 30+ pairs) bottle of our in house cleaner we use day in day out and natural hog hair brush with microfiber cloth. Your brush will be box fresh unlike this one thats cleaned god knows how many pairs. Price to be confirmed once finalised.
2 years since we separated the businesses & opened our little stall in the old market. Alot has changed since then with a new shop & our own product range. Another lockdown birthday, but we'll make up for it when we can. Thanks to everyone for the support. The Reno-Team
And then there was 4. Hoping to bring turnaround times down in the following weeks. But like last time we just ended up just getting more work in 🤦🏻♂️ Not a bad problem to have I guess. Thanks to everyone for the support as always its greatly appreciated.
Patch up, deepclean and protect. Used a piece of suede to patch internally then brush work to blend it in. Clean and Reno-Revive managed to drag enough dye from the shoe to not need a redye. Hopefully our colour reviver will be released in the next month 🤞
Gonna be a busy few weeks for us. Just an empty space at the minute but that's soon going to all change. Not going as active on social media platforms and as we're working though all current projects before we move. Exciting times ahead. Thanks for your support 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
*IMPORTANT NEWS*
We will be open throughout lockdown as services we offers (key cutting etc) give us essential status. Although it would be more financially beneficial for us to close we feel its more important to honour existing projects and can do it safely. Thanks, Stay safe.
Display parts of the shop complete. A massive thank you to everyone who's contributed to this (don't want to offend anyone that I forget so won't tag) As always your support is greatly appreciated. Reduced opening hours to start with in the market 9:00-16:00 due to the pandemic.
Not done a competition for a while so here goes.........For your chance to win either a Reno-Clean or Reno-Protect kit Just simply follow us (if you don't already) Repost and comment below. Winner will be picked at random on Thursday 22/2. Good luck 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Quick pint to celebrate the first year in our new shop. Not been the easiest but we got though it and massively down to the support we've had from everyone. As a thank you 15% off everything off the site for the next week. Use code Year15. Thanks again from the Reno Team 🙌🏽
Little custom on this pair of all white gazelle. Not really something we specialise in but don't mind dusting the decal machine off from time to time. Taking inspiration from an original Derby Country kit. Wasn't sure at first but love how they came out, VHS feel to them
Well it's our year birthday. Was hoping for a few beers with some of you for this and the opening of the new gaff (obviously delayed) But we'll have Twitter beer later (or bottle of something for those that dont drink) Thanks for the support and stay safe. Health is wealth 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Proper transformation on this pair for
@Darrenault1
Got a pair if Paris myself and never been able to take to them but these have come out amazing. Full repaint, trefoil added and lace change. Few beers now after what's been a hectic week 😅😅😅 Thanks for the support ✊
Scarily good products 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈 I'll grab my coat..........
Here's an off the cuff comp for Halloween. To win a Reno-Protect kit just RT, comment or tag someone and follow us. Winner will be picked at random tomorrow.
These 2 pairs finished today. Lads made the trip from Doncaster to drop them off. Both Deepcleaned and abit of dye work on gazelle stripes. No filters and fully dry when pics taken 😁
This happend over night 🤯 What started off as just an idea has exceeded all expectations and the support we've had off here has been huge. Thanks to everyone whos been apart of the journey so far. We just need more hours in the day now 🙈 lost of projects on at the minute.
And so it begins................ We're gonna feel like goldfish in here. Plenty of natural light is gonna make life alot easier. No restoring going on this week but hopefully back doing abit next week once we're fitted out 😅😅😅😅
Over 7k 🤯 Bad start to the year with us having the shut the shop to customers & everything was looking bad, but you've all rallied around and we're mad busy on the restores and products are flying. Hopefully our YouTube can be of use to you. Thanks for the support 🙏
🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
We've hit 10k!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A big thanks to everyone who got behind us. The support we've had since we opened an account has been immense and the business wouldn't be where it is without it. We've got a massive giveaway this weekend as a thank you.
Decal machine dusted off for another little custom job. Tried not to over do these. Decals + hand painted stripes. Themed customs not really our thing but don't mind the odd one from time to time.
Little giveaway to end the year. For your chance to win everything in this video (we'll throw some Reno-Roast in as well) Just follow us, retweet and comment or tag a friend. Winner will be picked at random new years eve. Check below for prize. Thanks for getting involved.
Stockies completed today. Deepclean didn't come up with the desired results so redye it is. Nap was pretty flat on these. But managed to salvage it and nice and soft now. Where possible we live it original and that was the case with the stripes and heeltab.
Well even after the miserable news of us being put in tier 4 we've still had a smile on our face after receiving this pic yesterday. As abit of a thank you for the laces he sent us. Ourselves & Matt
@vinylsoulimages
sent Carlos a T & sole searching mug months ago and they arrived
Gardening trainers no more 💫💫💫
Deepclean, lace change and protect. Thanks to everyone for there patience with the projects we have on. The line between work and home is pretty blured at the minute but we're getting there. (Not taking any jobs on at the minute)
Bit of an update on our cleaner as I know alot of you are interested. Will be landing in the country mid/end July and we'll be getting our hands on it a few days later. Big delays due to social distancing in the factory and reduced workforce. Thanks for your patience.
And that's a wrap (well until Wednesday) massive thanks to everyone for the support. All the best to all our customers, many of which we'd regard as mates. Have a fantastic Christmas 🙌
There's right and wrong ways to dye a trainer. We had these slimes in and as you can see from the first and last (Google image) the colour is totally wrong from a previous redye. With a fair bit of work we got there using our custom made dye ✊
Before/after of these Ardwicks. If this pair don't get your attention nothing will. Had a massive amount of support from the Adi community already and people sending trainers in they've been putting off for a while. All greatly appreciated in the most challenging of times 🙏
Completed Samba job from the earlier prep pic. Suede dead in so many areas so lots of nap work needed using various methods (blade, eraser and brushes) then only the deepclean using Reno-Clean. We'll put a link on underneath of dry work instructional for anyone interested 🙂
Here's our homage to the Dublin using a Silver base with a little tongue in cheek decal added. Took a good few coats of our electric blue but we ain't far off 😅
With the current situation we've not been doing as many restores as normal but still managing to get a few in. This pair in for the works. Suede was pretty beat up but managed to do abit of rescue work on them. Full redye (shoe&sole) and new decals fitted.
Good evening. A hectic past week with the opening, apologies if we've not got back to everyone. We've had alot of jobs in through the post and dropped off. We're working though them. As we've always said we'll never rush the job we do, we'd rather extend the waiting time 👍
One last walk into out little stall (that was once a cake stall, if you spotted the cooker) That's all the gear over to new place. Just a matter of unpacking and finding somewhere for it to live. This little workspace has seen some belting trainers.
It's been a fantastic experience having William as part of the team and his smile has been infectious. We have taken as much from this experience as he has if not more. Big thanks to everyone for the support especially you lot on here 🙏
***** Important Announcement*****We will not be excepting any work in both postage or drop off for the next few weeks due to sheer volume of trainers we've had in. We are literally running out of space in the shop 🤯 Thanks for your understanding 🙏
4 years since we outgrew our unit in the old market & had to separate the traditional shoe repair etc. side of the business and Renovation Station was born. In an extremely competitive market we're boxing above our weight, but still have a way to go. Thanks for the support
A question we get alot is how do we paint around the decals and the answer is..........luckily we don't have to in most cases 😅 Dye doesn't penetrate metallic but be carful around white and non metallic as it will potentially stain them.
End of our first week and what a week it's been. Couldn't of done it without the best team, family and friends behind us. We're truly thankful for the support we've had especially from the lads on here. Much love, this is just the beginning. Ste and the lads.
Won on ebay Monday and got here today from Japan. I've had lads receiving trianers back 13 days after we've sent them and in the UK🤦🏻♂️Made up with these though, absolute quality 👌
Just another day in the office. On the traditional shoe repair side of the business we also sharpen blades but it's the first thunders cats sword we've done 🙈
Not been very active on here this week due to being crazy busy. Combination of our own projects, product purchases and restorers buying our gear. We have to pinch ourselves sometimes 🤯 Massive thanks to everyone for the support, to many to mention. Always greatly appreciated 🙏
Amazing week. Had visitors from all over. Midlands, North Wales, High Peak + many closer to home. Thanks for the support. We endeavour to reply to everyone but with work load and family commitments sometimes we may miss people on social media. Appolgies if we do. Time to relax
Suede was pretty beat up on this pair of gazelle but salvaged them to some extent. The flat nap doesn't make life easy. Full redye and replaced to tongue label as well. Went for rope places to give them a new look.
UA's completed today. Stunning pair and hard pressed to find anything to this build quality. Redye as there wasn't much dye left in them and abit of shoe cream on the soles as there was oxidation. Fully protected and ready to go. These and churches well up there for me.
As promised here's the project William has completed. We've been working with him over the weeks on the dry clean element of restoration and as you can see he's put it into practice. Having him in the shop with is a breath of fresh air for us all.
@Willow_Green_
Another display done today. I'm sure someone will recognise the Tokyo poster and coincidently we had the full collection of adidas pepsi caps sent from Japan. We're working though projects we had in before the move and we'll be excepting new restores. Officialy opening 6th July.
Not often you see never mind get your hands on footwear from 1957. I wonder what tails they could tell. Didn't go to mad with these and kept them as original as possible. Good clean and leather condition keeping the character of the boot. Was an honor to work on these 🙏
We're ready for another day 👊👊👊. Not possible of all trainers but in some cases we can resole. Keglers the perfect example. Resole and leather restore
#keepthefaith
✊
This job was abit of a challenge. Not perfect but back to a wearable state. Reshape was challenging and obviously due to pretty much full dye loss redye was the only option. Deepclean is always our first option but sometimes jobs go beyond that. We do what needs to be done.
So close to 10,000 followers 🤯
Funny when people contact us over email imagining some massive company with customer services departments etc and in reality its myself and 2 lads. All mates with an attention for detail with belief in our products and the direction we're going 🙌
Not quite the Cyprus holiday we booked but this is our residence for the weekend. Who needs overseas when you've got Haven, Cala gran 😆 Won't be much going on over all social media platforms as I'll be run ragged by a 2 year old. See you on the other side 🙈
Update on the CP's. Repaint and some restoration work on the stripes. Still a slight mark but miles better and barely noticeable on foot. Another pair saved 🙌
Cardiff complete. Pics up tomorrow. Brushes now received and being sent off tomorrow for professional picture (I'm dropping them off local this time 🤦🏻♂️) then I can get the ecomerce site up and running. Never really sold products, so thanks for your patience. Learning as we go 😅
Been a long time coming.....but from tomorrow the shop is back open for business 💥💥💥💥💥💥 Full cabinet of our products ready to go and we're looking forward getting back at it. Open 9:00-17:00 Monday-Saturday
It's been a long lockdown but we got though it ✊🏼✊🏼
#keepTheFaith
Custom paint on these BC's for one of our regulars Trevor. Heel, Stripes and lace change was the original plan but decision was made after that to go for tongue repaint to break the colours up that little bit more and leaving the tongue print gives it a nice look.
We recently won a job lot of Adidas merch in a charity auction for an amazing cause . 4 Adidas pepsi caps where a part of it. So did a little research on them and now have the full set of 60 coming from Japan. Mega geeky but cool as 👌 Theyll be on display in the new place 😬
Hard work, knowledge and the right tools for the job pay off. William doing a great job on these LG's. He joined us on a supported internship from
@Willow_Green_
over 6 weeks ago and has been developing new skills with our support.
Here we have it.....Reno-Protect.
Using Flairosol technology there's no need for nasty aerosols & we'll be keeping waste to a minimum with refills in various sizes and store refills. We'll be arranging a launch/get-together once we've finalised dates etc. Be good to catch up 🙌
