Lampshade Recovering

Through our lampshade recovering service we can help you hold onto lampshades for longer. We recover most styles of lampshade so can help if you have a lampshade that has seen better days.  We can also recover in any combination of fabric and trim from our swatch or in your own fabric if you prefer.

Lampshade recovering has been happening in our Devon workshop for over 50 years. Every recovered lampshade is made by hand from start to finish.

Our lampshade recovering service is invaluable if you are struggling to find the perfect replacement lampshade.

Recovering your lampshade can also be a cost effective solution to insuring your lampshade matches a new decor.

Soft Lampshade Recovering

Soft shade recovers are the most popular lampshades that we recover. Also as traditional lamp shades they have a rigid wire frame that the outer and inner fabric is stretched over.

Consequently providing your lampshade frame is in good condition it should be possible for us to re-cover for you.

We recover a lot of lampshades that have been purchased as a complete lamp set, quite often from Asia or America. It is usually necessary to recover these lampshades due to them having a different fitting to most UK lampshades, the most popular being what is know as an American fitting, which looks like a polo mint size fitting that sits towards the top of the lamp shade.

Hard Shade Recovers

When it comes to recovering hard shades we can offer two methods for restoring your lampshade.

Providing the lampshades rings are in reasonable condition we can recover the shades in an agreed fabric. We also offer a selection of inner lining options including white and various metallic options.

If it is not possible to recover your lampshade we do have the facility to replicate the shade from scratch.  A lot of the lampshades we recover tend to have been damaged in a house move or a stray football when looking after the grand children !  

How it Works

If you would like to proceed with recovering a lampshade we will discuss fabric and trim options and are happy to send you free swatch samples. Please note we can also recover your lamp shade in your own fabric.

Once your happy please post us your lampshade, if you have concerns about posting your lamp shade please contact us as we can arrange for the shade to be collected (additional charge would apply).

Lampshade recovering usually takes 3 weeks, once finished we will dispatch it via on overnight service straight to your door.
