Authentic Heritage Craftsmanship
Bath’s architecture is known for its classical lines and intricate plaster detail. At Cornice Restoration, we understand the importance of maintaining the city’s heritage. That’s why we follow time-honoured plastering techniques, using high-quality materials that ensure durability and authenticity.
Our workshop can cast new mouldings from surviving sections, ensuring a seamless match. If no original detail remains, we work from period references or architect drawings to recreate the design in full fidelity.
Cornice Restoration for Modern Interiors
While we specialise in traditional properties, our expertise extends to contemporary homes seeking a refined decorative touch. From clean-lined coving to custom plaster features, we create stylish additions that lift the overall finish of any room.
If you’re renovating, extending, or updating a space, we can design and install plasterwork that complements both modern and classic interiors.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I tell if my cornice needs restoring?
Cracks, sagging sections, water damage, missing pieces, or loose fixings are the most common signs that restoration is needed. If in doubt, we can carry out an inspection to assess the condition.
Can you match an existing pattern exactly?
Yes. We specialise in precise replication. Using moulds taken from intact sections, we reproduce the exact profile, scale, and pattern detail of your original cornice.
Do you work on listed buildings?
Absolutely. We regularly undertake restoration work in listed and historic properties and ensure all repairs follow conservation principles.
What materials do you use?
We use high-grade plaster, traditional lime-based materials where needed, and quality reinforcement to ensure the restored cornice remains strong and true to the original.
How long does a typical restoration take?
Timeframes vary depending on the extent of the damage and the complexity of the design. Simple repairs may take a few hours, while full reproduction may require several days. We provide clear estimates before starting work.
Can you create bespoke cornice designs?
Yes. If you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind feature, we can design and cast a completely bespoke cornice or moulding to suit your interior.
