Cutting‑In: The Key to a Professional Finish
Cutting in is the technique of creating perfectly straight, hand‑painted lines where walls meet ceilings, skirting boards, architraves, door frames, windows, sockets, and switches. It’s a skill that requires control, patience, and experience.
Poor cutting in leads to wobbly edges, uneven borders, and messy transitions — all of which make a room look unfinished. Paintr® delivers crisp, accurate lines that define a premium finish.
Why Cutting‑In Quality Matters
High‑quality cutting in is essential for achieving a professional decorating result. Clean lines create visual balance, symmetry, and a sense of craftsmanship. Whether you’re refreshing or redecorating an entire property, sharp cutting‑in lines make the colours pop, enhance the overall design, and give your space a polished, high‑end look.
Our customers often tell us that the precision of our cutting in is what sets our work apart from other decorators.
Our Cutting‑In Technique: Skill Over Tape
At Paintr®, we rely on skill — not masking tape. Tape can bleed, lift paint, or leave jagged edges. A trained hand produces cleaner, more natural, more consistent lines every time. We use premium brushes designed for accuracy, combined with careful preparation to ensure every surface is ready for a flawless finish.
We do use tapes, where necessary or when asked. If done properly it creates an amazingly sharp line but there’s a lot of extra work needed before you can tape. The plastering has to be flawless, the edges sharp as any flaws are magnified by the use of tape. It has it’s place and uses but general cutting in is much more natural by hand.
Our process includes:
- Cleaning and preparing edges
- Dust‑free sanding for smooth transitions
- Using high‑quality paints for crisp coverage
- Applying steady, controlled brushwork for perfect lines
This level of detail is what makes Paintr® a trusted name for precision painting
