Peace Lily problem

Hi. Two of my peace lilies have recently developed discoloured leaves, they appear to have lost both shine and colour but are not wilting or dying. I've kept peace lilies for 25 years and have never had this before. All advice welcome. I've inspected thoroughly and there are no signs of any infestations. Thank you

    If it was an outdoor plant I would say that was sun scorch,  but don’t know about house plants,  if you’ve kept them for many years,  you’ll know where to keep them.
    It’s not insect damage though.
    Maybe just needs a boost of feed or repotting?

    The slight yellowing, droopy leaves and leaf over the spotty chicken, look like signs of possible over watering. They can grow hydroponically and people grow them out of fish tanks but if the soil is to wet they seem to go like this. So the first thing I'd check is the soil to see if it is on the wet side and if it is you might want to dry it out a little and see if any visible roots are still healthy. There does look like new healthy growth so I think it might lose some of the old leaves but it should quickly regrow new ones next spring.
