Interior Trim Painting
small recoating jobs on sound painted skirting and architraves
Service overview
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.
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.
Grooves and moulded corners can retain loose paint or dirt that affects adhesion. The profile should be visible in the enquiry photos. Preparation must stay within suitable non-hazardous methods and does not imply stripping unknown old coatings.
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
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.
Low trim is easily knocked by cleaning equipment and furniture. Allow the product-specific drying and curing stages before normal contact. Exact readiness depends on the coating and conditions, so no universal same-day cleaning promise should be assumed.
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.
Lower Plenty property context
An occupied Lower Plenty property may need preparation before interior trim painting can begin. Send close views of the trim profile and current finish, wider room photos and an approximate length of the affected sections. Mention rooms that need to remain usable and identify who can agree the scope and arrange entry. For a Lower Plenty quote, describe each task separately and note height, parking, tenant access or preferred appointment windows. This gives the Owner enough context to assess the request without collecting unnecessary personal information.
