Decorative cornices and mouldings are a definitive interior feature. From elegant Georgian townhouses to Victorian terraces and modern homes inspired by classical design, these architectural details bring depth, character, and heritage to a space.
At Paintr®, we specialise in the careful restoration, preparation, and painting of mouldings and cornice work across Bath and surrounding area, delivering crisp, refined finishes that honour the craftsmanship of the past while elevating the style of today.
Specialist Painting for Period Features
The local area is renowned for its architectural heritage, and many homes contain original plasterwork that requires a delicate, skilled approach. Decorative mouldings, ceiling roses, and cornices often feature intricate patterns that demand precision and patience. Paintr® brings both.
Before any paint is applied, we carry out a detailed assessment of the plasterwork. This includes identifying cracks, chips, or previous paint build‑up that may affect the final finish.
We use specialist tools and fine‑grade sanding techniques to prepare the surface without damaging the detail. The result is a smooth, clean base ready for a flawless coat of paint.
A Premium Finish for Cornices, Ceiling Roses & Mouldings
Painting decorative mouldings is not the same as painting walls. It requires a steady hand, the right brushes, and a deep understanding of how paint behaves on curved and textured surfaces. Paintr® uses premium paints designed for sharp definition and long‑lasting durability, ensuring every ridge, curve, and shadow is beautifully highlighted.
Our approach includes:
- Careful cleaning and preparation of plasterwork
- Fine-detail brushwork for crisp, elegant lines
- Colour matching for period‑appropriate finishes
- Specialist primers for older or porous surfaces
- Smooth, even coats that enhance architectural detail
Whether you prefer a traditional white finish or a modern, design‑led contrast colour, we help you choose a look that complements your home’s style.
Restoring the Beauty of Historic Homes
Many properties contain mouldings that have been painted repeatedly over decades. Thick layers of old paint can soften the detail and hide the craftsmanship beneath.
Paintr® offers gentle restoration techniques to revive these features, removing excess paint where appropriate and repairing damaged sections to bring the original design back to life.
For homes with missing or incomplete mouldings, we can also work alongside specialist plasterers to recreate period‑accurate sections before painting them to match the existing finish.
