Interior Trim Painting
small recoating jobs on sound painted skirting and architraves
Capel Sound property context
Capel Sound sits within the existing Greater Melbourne coverage. For interior trim painting, measurements, product information and access details are more useful than assumptions about the suburb's buildings. The underlying trim must be sound. Loose, split or deteriorated timber needs repair assessment before cosmetic recoating. A useful Capel Sound enquiry identifies the affected room or outdoor area, explains what has changed and includes wide and close photographs. Measurements and access notes help separate urgent repairs from work that can be grouped into a later visit.
Service overview
An existing glossy coating may require different preparation from a matt surface. Tell Fix Nik what product was used if known. A compatible coating system and finish should be agreed before buying materials solely to match an old colour label.
Fresh trim may look different beside aged walls or an unpainted door. Discuss the intended boundary and finish expectation. The quote should identify the actual surfaces rather than imply that all adjoining paintwork will be refreshed at the same time.
Mark which runs and door surrounds are included rather than describing the whole room as trim work. Profiles, corners and access can affect preparation. An approximate length and photographs help distinguish a small refresh from a larger renovation repaint.
The agreed service covers small interior trim preparation and recoating after substrate suitability review. Exclusions: Structural timber repair, hazardous coating removal, external window restoration, large renovation repaint.
Common situations
Carpet, hard flooring and adjacent walls need appropriate protection while low trim is prepared. Explain whether furniture can be moved away from the edges. Tight access may require more preparation than the visible length of skirting initially suggests.
Painting to a natural break may provide a clearer finish boundary than touching up several scattered spots. Whether that is useful depends on condition and matching expectations. Any extension of the paint area should be agreed before work begins.
A loose board or crumbling edge should not be hidden beneath another coat. Show splits, movement and moisture damage separately. Suitable trim repair may be discussed through the relevant repair service before any finishing work is planned.

FAQ
Send close views of the trim profile and current finish, wider room photos and an approximate length of the affected sections. Explain which spaces need to remain usable and who can arrange access. The appointment and preparation are agreed around the actual work; an occupied room should not be assumed to be clear or ready.
Agree the trim sections, protect adjoining surfaces and prepare and recoat suitable interior material with a compatible finish. List each additional item with its own photos and dimensions. Compatible tasks can be considered together, but grouping an enquiry does not expand the service into electrical, plumbing, structural or other specialist work.

Some questions can be clarified from product information and photos; others require direct inspection. Fix Nik can explain what remains uncertain before confirming whether the proposed task is suitable.
