At Paintr®, we know that the smallest details often make the biggest difference — and nothing sharpens a room quite like beautifully painted skirting boards. These low‑level trims frame your walls, protect them from everyday knocks, and bring a sense of structure and polish to your space.
Our skirting board painting service is designed to give your home crisp lines, smooth finishes, and long‑lasting durability that instantly lifts the look of any room.
Whether you live in a Georgian townhouse in Bathwick, a Victorian terrace in Widcombe, or a modern family home in Odd Down, freshly painted skirting boards help your interior feel cleaner, brighter, and more refined. They’re the finishing touch that ties everything together.
Why Skirting Boards Matter More Than You Think
Skirting boards take more wear and tear than almost any other part of your home. From vacuum bumps to shoe scuffs, they’re constantly being knocked, scraped, and marked. Over time, this leaves them looking tired — even if the rest of the room looks great.
Freshly painted skirting boards:
- Make your walls look sharper and cleaner
- Add contrast and definition to your décor
- Refresh tired or yellowing woodwork
- Protect against future scuffs and damage
- Create a polished, professional finish
They’re a small detail with a big visual impact.
Expert Preparation for a Flawless Finish
At Paintr®, we never rush woodwork — especially skirting boards. Preparation is everything, and it’s what separates a DIY job from a professional finish.
Our process includes:
- Cleaning and degreasing to remove dust, dirt, and old residue
- Sanding to smooth rough patches and key the surface
- Filling dents, gaps, and imperfections for a seamless look
- Caulking between the skirting and wall for crisp, clean lines
- Priming where needed to ensure strong adhesion
- Applying durable topcoats in your chosen finish
This careful approach ensures your skirting boards look immaculate and stay that way.
Choosing the Right Finish for Your Home
Different homes and different rooms call for different finishes. We help you choose the right one based on style, durability, and the overall look you want.
Popular options include:
- Satinwood – A modern, subtle sheen that’s easy to maintain
- Eggshell – Soft and elegant, perfect for period homes
- Gloss – High shine and traditional, ideal for older properties
- Matt trim paints – Contemporary and understated
Whether you prefer classic white skirting or something bolder, we guide you through the best options for your space.
Perfect for Period and Modern Properties Alike
we tailor our approach to suit each property. Period homes often require more delicate preparation and heritage‑appropriate finishes, while modern homes benefit from clean lines and contemporary tones. Whatever your style, we deliver a finish that enhances your home’s character.
