Painting & Touch-up Repairs

Painting and touch-up repairs cover small decorating jobs: filling, sanding, priming and painting walls and woodwork, and making good after a clearance or repair, rather than a full redecoration.

Quick answer

Who it is for: Homeowners, landlords and agents needing small decorating and made-good painting.

What it covers: Surface prep, filling, priming and painting of walls and woodwork in defined areas.

When a survey is needed: Photos of the areas help; iTrade confirms surface condition and colour before quoting.

After a clearance or repair, walls and woodwork often need making good and a coat of paint to present well. This service is for those focused jobs rather than redecorating a whole house.

Preparation matters more than the paint: filling, sanding and priming decide how good the finish looks and how well it lasts.

Common questions

Frequently asked

Do you do full redecoration?

This service is for focused touch-up and made-good painting. Larger or whole-property redecoration can be quoted separately.

Do you supply the paint?

You can supply it, or iTrade can quote for paint and materials, including colour matching.

Can you match an existing colour?

Yes, colour matching can be arranged as part of the quote.

Do you prepare surfaces first?

Yes. Filling, sanding and priming are part of the job, because preparation decides the finish.

Can you paint after a repair or clearance?
