Lamp Repair and Shade Studio, a longtime Tampa Bay business, has opened a new location in Lakeland, bringing its unique services to Polk County. The studio has served customers across the Tampa Bay area since 1985, repairing and restoring everything from everyday table lamps to ornate chandeliers and treasured family heirlooms.
A Long History
The shop moved from South Tampa to Lakeland in May 2026, continuing to serve longtime customers throughout the region. Inside the studio, technicians repair damaged sockets, cords, switches, and other electrical components. They can also duplicate original brass parts, repair halogen and fluorescent lamps, clean chandeliers, and restore metal finishes through polishing, lacquering, sandblasting, and powder coating.
The company says its technicians have a combined 60 years of experience. For many customers, the work involves more than simply fixing a light. Some lamps carry sentimental value, have been passed down through generations, or feature craftsmanship that would be difficult to replace.
Creating Something New
Lamp Repair and Shade Studio also carries more than 2,000 lampshades in different sizes, shapes, and styles. Customers are encouraged to bring their lamp into the store so the staff can find a shade with the proper proportions and fit. The studio can also transform unexpected objects, including porcelain vases and wine bottles, into working lamps.
The studio has provided services for recognizable Tampa landmarks, including the Henry B. Plant Museum and the Columbia Restaurant in Ybor City. While its address has changed, the mission remains the same: preserve distinctive lighting, restore pieces that might otherwise be discarded, and keep a rare hands-on craft burning bright.
Lamp Repair and Shade Studio is located at 2500 Drane Field Road, Suite 114, Lakeland, FL 33811. The studio is open Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. It is closed Sunday and Monday.
