Bathwick · BA2painting & decorating
Sympathetic Georgian townhouse renovations, premium internal refurbishments and period-appropriate upgrades for properties within one of Bath's finest conservation neighbourhoods.
Painting and decorating across Bath — internal and external, from single rooms to full redecorations. The finish is only ever as good as the prep, so filling, sanding and sealing is where we spend the time. Period properties get breathable paint systems and limewash where the walls need them; modern homes get hard-wearing trade finishes. Sash windows, woodwork, wallpaper and feature walls — all in the same crew, all in the quote.
Bathwick — taking in Great Pulteney Street, the Holburne Museum setting and the elegant terraces running east from Pulteney Bridge — sits firmly within Bath's World Heritage Site, and the planning environment here is exacting, and rightly so. Our experience working within this designation means we understand what consent is required, how to specify materials and methods that will satisfy conservation officers, and how to deliver internal modernisation — updated kitchens, bathrooms and living spaces — without compromising the period envelope that makes these properties so desirable. Bathwick estate lease considerations and conservation officer pre-application engagement are managed as part of our standard project scope, so owners know where they stand before work begins.
If any of these sound like your property, this is the service you want.
Paint applied to wet or unsealed plaster — the timeline includes proper drying and prep
Prep skipped — filling, sanding and sealing is where a paint job is won or lost
Impervious masonry paint on a solid stone wall — traps moisture and peels; breathable systems only
One coat where two are needed — coverage specified at quote, not discovered on the ladder
Woodwork painted over varnish without keying — flakes within a year
Furniture and floors left unprotected — everything sheeted, every day

Verified reviews from recent work.
Older property, kitchen with apex ceiling. Very pleased with the professional finish, friendly team. I was asked before painting commenced what I would like. All surfaces fully protected and covered, no mess left. Impressed with the high standard. Kitchen looks exactly how I wanted it to look with the desired finish.
