Old gloss is sanded back and undercoated so new paint grips and levels.
Enamel topcoats
Hard-wearing topcoats applied for a crisp, durable finish.
Trim is what your eye reads as quality
Walls get the area, but trim gets the attention. Doors, window frames, architraves and skirting boards are the lines your eye follows around every room. When they are chipped, yellowed or rough, the whole room reads tired no matter how fresh the walls are.
Trim also takes the knocks: vacuums, shoes, furniture and hands. It needs harder-wearing coatings than walls, and it needs proper sanding between coats to come up smooth.
What is included
Doors and door frames. Front doors, internal doors and their frames, sanded and finished in durable enamel.
Window frames and sills. Timber frames and sills inside and out. For aluminium frames, see aluminium window frame painting.
Architraves and skirting boards. The detail lines of every room, cut in clean against walls and floors.
Proper sanding and undercoating. Old gloss is sanded so the new coating grips, then undercoated before topcoats.
Painting over old gloss
Old enamel is hard and shiny, and new paint does not stick to it well. Skipping the sanding is why some repainted trim peels within months. We sand old gloss back, undercoat, then apply topcoats, so the finish stays on.
Water-based or oil-based enamel?
Modern water-based enamels dry fast, stay white, and are easy to live with during the work. Traditional oil-based enamels level beautifully and harden to a tougher film, with longer drying times and more smell. Both give a durable trim finish; the choice depends on the condition of the existing coating, the rooms involved and how the house is being lived in during the work. We recommend the one that suits your trim and your household.
The order of the work
Trim is painted after walls, not before - cutting trim cleanly against a finished wall is far easier than the reverse. Doors come off their hinges where that gives a better result, hardware is masked or removed, and everything goes back working the way it did. Painted-shut windows and gummed locks are not part of the deal.

Enamel that takes the knocks
Doors, skirting, architraves and frames are the most-touched surfaces in a house, so they get harder-wearing enamel finishes - water-based enamels now give a durable finish without the yellowing older oil-based enamels were known for. Preparation is the same discipline as walls: sand, fill, prime where needed, then thin, even coats.
Heritage and period detail
Older homes often carry verandah fretwork, corbels, sash windows and picture rails. These are cut in by hand, with colours chosen to suit the period of the home. If you are restoring original detail, we are happy to work from heritage colour references.
