Every beautiful decorating finish starts long before the first coat of paint is applied. Preparation is the foundation of quality, and at Paintr® we treat it as the most important stage of any project.
Our Gallery: Preparation page showcases the behind‑the‑scenes work that ensures every wall, ceiling, and piece of woodwork ends up looking smooth, clean, and professionally finished. This is the part of decorating most people never see — but it’s the reason our results stand out.
Why Preparation Matters
Preparation is where true craftsmanship begins. Without proper prep, even the best paint and the most skilled application will fall short. Cracks show through, paint peels, surfaces look uneven, and the final finish never looks as good as it should. That’s why Paintr® invests time, care, and precision into getting every surface perfectly ready before painting starts.
Good preparation doesn’t just improve appearance — it improves durability. When surfaces are properly sanded, filled, cleaned, and primed, the paint bonds better, lasts longer, and maintains its finish for years.
Our Professional Preparation Process
At Paintr®, we follow a meticulous, step‑by‑step process to ensure every surface is flawless:
- Dust‑free sanding for smooth, even surfaces
- Filling cracks, dents, and holes to remove imperfections
- Caulking gaps for clean, seamless edges
- Stain blocking and sealing where needed
- Priming surfaces for strong adhesion and consistent colour
- Cleaning and degreasing to remove contaminants
- Masking and protection to keep your home spotless
This level of preparation is what allows us to deliver the sharp lines, smooth finishes, and premium results Paintr® is known for across Bath.
What You’ll See in the Preparation Gallery
Our gallery highlights the essential groundwork that makes a professional finish possible:
- Walls repaired and restored before painting
- Smooth, even surfaces created through dust‑free sanding
- Woodwork filled, sanded, and primed for crisp results
- Careful masking around fixtures, fittings, and edges
- Stain‑blocking treatments to prevent bleed‑through
- Detailed prep in both modern and period properties
The images above show the care, patience, and precision that go into every Paintr® project.
Preparation for Long‑Lasting Results
A flawless finish isn’t luck — it’s the result of doing the basics properly. When preparation is rushed or skipped, the final result always suffers. When it’s done right, the difference is immediate and long‑lasting. Smooth walls, sharp edges, consistent colour, and a finish that feels genuinely premium.
That’s why Paintr® takes the time to prepare every surface with the same level of detail we bring to the final coats.
