LAMPSHADE RECOVERING SERVICE, UK WIDE

Can't find anyone local to recover your lampshade? You're not alone, it's a specialist skill, and very few people offer it. At Lume Lighting, I offer a professional lampshade recovering service to customers across the whole of the UK. Simply post your shade to me, and I'll restore it to its former glory.

Whether your lampshade is a treasured heirloom, an expensive investment piece, or simply one you'd rather restore than replace, I can help. I recover a wide variety of styles including drum, tapered, coolie, and traditional hand-sewn soft shades, and I'll guide you through the whole process from first enquiry to delivery back to your door.

Why recover rather than replace?

A quality lampshade frame can last a lifetime. Recovering gives it a completely new look while saving it from landfill. It's the sustainable, sensible choice.

How does the postal service work?

It's simpler than you might think:

1. Send me a few photos and measurements of your lampshade for a no-obligation quote

2. Once we've agreed on fabric and price, I'll ask for a deposit

3. Pack your shade carefully and post it to me (I can advise on packaging)

4. I'll recover it and send it back to you via courier, fully insured

Customers send their shades to me from all over the UK, from Cornwall to Scotland, and are always delighted with the results.

Can I come in to talk to you about my lampshade if I'm local?

Yes of course! Please contact me to arrange an appointment. To give you an indication of cost before you come in, please send me an email with photos of your lampshade and the dimensions and I can give you a quote.

What styles can you recover?

I recover a wide range of lampshade styles, including:

- Traditional soft shades (hand-sewn and fully lined)

- Drum shades, single sided and double sided

- Tapered shades

- Coolie shades

Not sure if your shade can be recovered? Just send me a photo and I'll let you know.

How much does lampshade recovering cost?

Each recovering is priced individually based on the size, shape, and condition of your shade. Here's a guide to give you a rough idea:

- Extra small (up to 15cm diameter) - from £90

- Small (up to 25cm diameter) - from £120

- Medium (up to 35cm diameter) - from £170

- Large (up to 45cm diameter) - from £200

- Extra large (up to 55cm diameter) - from £230

Unlined shades are £10 - £30 less depending on size. Larger shades are also catered for, just get in touch.

Why do traditional lampshade recoverings cost more?

When you choose a traditional hand-sewn recovering, you're not just getting a new piece of fabric stretched over a frame, you're investing in a painstaking, skilled process that can take mulitple hours to days per shade.

Every recovering starts by carefully stripping the original fabric from the frame. I then inspect the frame fully, sanding and respraying it where needed so the foundation is sound before anything else begins. Next, the frame is bound by hand with cotton tape, this is what the fabric will ultimately be anchored to, and it has to be done precisely.

Once the frame is prepared, the fabric is hand stretched and pinned carefully into position. This stage requires patience and a skilled eye, the tension has to be just right across the whole shade before a single stitch goes in. Only once I'm completely happy with the shape is the fabric hand sewn onto the frame, before the binding and trim are attached to finish.

It's a labour of love, and the price reflects the hours of skilled work that go into every single shade. But the result is a beautifully restored lampshade that will last for many more years to come.

What about fabric?

I have a selection of in-house printed and plain linen fabrics to choose from. You're also very welcome to source your own fabric and I'll advise you on the right weight and type. If you'd like me to source something specific, I offer a fabric sourcing service for £25.

Customer Reviews

'I contacted Jo at Lume Lighting to see if she could refurbish the pagoda shaped lampshade on my oriental brass lamp. Jo was extremely helpful in advising me on material options and once chosen, I sent her the shade to recover it. The task was completed quickly and returned in very sturdy packaging. Some companies I approached would not tackle the job due to the unusual shape. Jo had the experience to take on the project and did an excellent job at a fair cost. I would not hesitate to recommend Lume Lighting if you have a cherished lampshade that needs restoring.'

Robert Bell

'A complete triumph!

I asked Jo to recover my faded pendant shades since finding replacements of the right depth was impossible. Reusing them was more sustainable, and I could choose fabric to suit my décor. I'm delighted with my bespoke shades, and it feels so much better to recycle than create waste. Jo did a fantastic job and is wonderful to work with - I highly recommend her.'
