Worcester’s Plasterboard Painting Specialists
Skim-Coated Plasterboard
Skim must be cured, treated with a sealing coat, and sanded before finish coat. Skimmed walls painted directly absorb unevenly.
Bare Plasterboard
Bare board without skim needs specialist plasterboard primer. Paper facing absorbs paint extremely unevenly.
Joint and Screw Finishing
If boarding finish is not adequate, your decorator advises on additional work needed.
Extension and Renovation
Extension additions typically involve mixed surfaces. For wider renovation, see our home renovation page.
The Plasterboard Painting Process
1. Surface Assessment
Your decorator checks curing stage, joint finish quality, and whether skim or bare board is present.
2. Sealing Coat
Diluted sealing coat applied to full surface and left to cure.
3. Sanding
Surface lightly sanded after sealing coat dries.
4. Finish Coats
Two full-strength coats with drying time between.
5. Woodwork
Skirting boards and architraves finished after walls.
