Naturally, with a heritage dating back to 1877 and with key benefits such as toughness and durability, there are countless examples of properties containing Lincrusta dating back through the twentieth century, and even into the late nineteenth century.

Every now and again, accidents happen and old examples become damaged (eg. a leaking shower, a burst water pipe or something similar), or a derelict building may be due for renovation or restoration. Whatever the reason, we are often asked if it is possible to purchase an old design to replace a damaged section of a wall, thus avoiding destroying the original Lincrusta feature.

Until now the costs and timings were often prohibitive, requiring the hand engraving of a steel roller with the original design, taking up to 6 months and costing in the region of £25,000.

However, keen to do everything we can to protect our heritage, at Lincrusta we have developed a Lincrusta Restoration Kit – ideal for restoring damaged designs in repeats up to 1 square metre and for wall areas up to 20 square metres.

Made from a Plaster-of-Paris compound, this allows the damaged design to be replicated exactly and decorated to match perfectly, whilst being flexible enough to be used on curved as well as flat walls and ceilings.

Pictured left (top) is an example of an original damaged ceiling, and the completed job below – a great way to preserve a great product for future generations!
