Interior Trim Painting
small recoating jobs on sound painted skirting and architraves
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.
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.
Service overview
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.
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.
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.
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.
How it works

Confirm the Pakenham Upper address, access contact and preparation. Mention anything that limits safe handling or use of the space before scheduling.
Keep vacuum heads and furniture clear of the coating while it cures. Follow cleaning advice and report renewed cracking or moisture marks.

Planning the work
Agree the trim sections, protect adjoining surfaces and prepare and recoat suitable interior material with a compatible finish. Identify any additional items separately so the scope and preparation are understood by everyone arranging the work.
Send close views of the trim profile and current finish, wider room photos and an approximate length of the affected sections. Keep labels and instructions available so the item can be identified accurately instead of relying on a general description.
Keep vacuum heads and furniture clear of the coating while it cures. Follow cleaning advice and report renewed cracking or moisture marks. Discuss any final finish or product-specific restrictions before returning the area to ordinary use.
Clear the immediate working area where safe and explain heavy furniture or restricted entry. For rentals or managed properties, agree the appropriate permission and identify the person who can provide access.
