At Paintr®, we know that the key to a flawless decorating finish is solving problems before the paint goes anywhere near the wall. Damp patches, water stains, nicotine marks, mould spots, and discoloured areas can all bleed through fresh paint if they’re not treated properly. That’s why our damp and stain treatment service is such an important part of what we do. We make sure your surfaces are clean, dry, sealed, and ready for a long‑lasting, professional finish.
Across the region — from Georgian terraces in Bathwick to Victorian properties in Widcombe and modern builds at Riverside — often experience damp‑related issues due to age, stone construction, and the city’s naturally humid climate. Our job is to treat these problems correctly so your decorating looks perfect and stays that way.
Why Damp & Stain Treatment Matters
Painting over damp or stained areas without proper preparation is one of the quickest ways to ruin a decorating job. Stains will reappear, paint will bubble or peel, and the finish will look patchy within weeks.
Professional treatment ensures:
- Stains don’t bleed through fresh paint
- Damp patches are sealed and stabilised
- Surfaces stay clean and consistent
- Paint adheres properly and lasts longer
- Your home looks fresh, bright, and well cared for
It’s the difference between a temporary cover‑up and a long‑term solution.
Common Problems We Treat
Bath’s architecture brings plenty of character — and a few challenges. We regularly treat:
- Water stains from leaks or condensation
- Damp patches caused by poor ventilation
- Mould and mildew spots
- Nicotine staining in older properties
- Yellowing around radiators or pipes
- Stains from previous repairs
- Discolouration on ceilings and exterior walls
Each issue requires the right approach, and we tailor our treatment to suit the surface and the cause.
Our Professional Treatment Process
At Paintr, we take preparation seriously because it’s the foundation of great decorating. Our damp and stain treatment process is thorough, careful, and designed to deliver long‑lasting results.
Here’s how we work:
- Identify the cause of the stain or damp patch
- Clean and treat the area to remove mould, residue, or contaminants
- Allow surfaces to dry fully where moisture is present
- Apply specialist stain‑blocking primers
- Seal the surface to prevent future bleed‑through
- Prepare the area for painting with sanding and smoothing
We use high‑quality trade products designed specifically for stain blocking and damp sealing, ensuring your finish stays clean and consistent.
Choosing the Right Products for your Home
Different stains require different treatments. We use a range of professional‑grade solutions, including:
- Stain‑blocking primers for water marks and nicotine
- Damp sealers for moisture‑affected areas
- Mould‑resistant treatments for bathrooms and kitchens
- High‑adhesion primers for tricky surfaces
These products ensure your paintwork looks fresh and stays protected.
Perfect for Period & Modern Properties
Homes vary widely in age and construction, and we tailor our approach to suit each one. Period properties often need breathable treatments and gentle cleaning, while modern homes benefit from high‑performance sealers and moisture‑resistant coatings. Whatever your home needs, we deliver a solution that lasts.
