Pieris leaf trouble

Hello,
My pieris (mountain fire I think) of 5 years has developed this mottle all over. The plant is 1,5m tall, sparsely leaved, but still produces new growth every year. Up until this morning, it was in a fully shaded corner due to an adjacent ceanothus having almost completely engulfed it. It is now in a sunny spot, but the leaves are unsightly and I fear for the worst. Any ideas what I’m dealing with?

They sometimes get a bit of lacebug damage if they don't have good airflow, the same as many plants. It also looks like that.
I can't be sure as I've never had problems with them.
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
