Professional Service
Preparation & Repair
Good preparation is the foundation of every great paint job. We fill, sand, repair and prime so your finish looks its best and lasts longer.
Preparation & Repair in Bath
The secret to a professional paint finish is what happens before the paint goes on. Cracks, holes, peeling paint, damaged plaster and rough woodwork all need attention first. We take the time to prepare every surface properly — filling, sanding, priming and repairing — so the final finish is smooth, even and long-lasting.
We handle everything from minor crack filling and sanding through to larger plaster repairs and rotten woodwork replacement. We use the right fillers for each surface — specialist products for plaster, wood and masonry — and we always prime bare surfaces to seal repairs and provide a consistent base. Preparation is included as standard in every painting quote, because we know it's the foundation of a finish that lasts.

Common Questions About Preparation & Repair
Why is preparation so important?
Paint only looks as good as the surface underneath. Proper filling, sanding and priming ensures the finish is smooth, even and long-lasting.
Can you fix cracked or damaged plaster?
Yes, we can fill cracks, patch damaged areas and prepare plaster surfaces for painting. For larger plastering jobs, we can recommend a plasterer.
Do you charge extra for preparation?
Preparation is included in our quotes as standard. We'll let you know upfront if a job needs more extensive prep work that might affect the price.
