Preparation & Repair
Good preparation is the foundation of every great paint job. I 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. I take the time to prepare every surface properly — filling, sanding, priming and repairing — so the final finish is smooth, even and long-lasting.
I handle everything from minor crack filling and sanding through to larger plaster repairs and rotten woodwork replacement. I use the right fillers for each surface — specialist products for plaster, wood and masonry — and I always prime bare surfaces to seal repairs and provide a consistent base. Preparation is included as standard in every painting quote, because I know it's the foundation of a finish that lasts.

Cracks are filled, damaged areas are patched, and rotten wood is treated or replaced.

All surfaces are sanded smooth and dust is removed for a clean base.

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, I can fill cracks, patch damaged areas and prepare plaster surfaces for painting. For larger plastering jobs, I can recommend a plasterer.
Do you charge extra for preparation?
Preparation is included in my quotes as standard. I'll let you know upfront if a job needs more extensive prep work that might affect the price.
