Why Decorating After Plastering Matters
Once your walls or ceilings have been expertly plastered, decorating is the final step that brings your space to life. Proper decorating enhances the finish, protects the plaster, and ensures your home looks fresh, modern, and complete.
We specialise in preparing and painting newly plastered surfaces to a high standard—giving you a long-lasting, flawless result.
✅ Protects new plaster from moisture and wear
✅ Enhances the texture and tone of your space
✅ Final step to complete your renovation
✅ Saves you time, stress, and costly DIY mistakes
Mist Coating: The Essential First Step
Fresh plaster needs to breathe and absorb paint correctly. A mist coat is a diluted base coat of paint that seals the plaster without blocking it—allowing proper adhesion for the final coats.
At Skim 2 Fin, we use high-quality mist coats that prep your walls perfectly, avoiding peeling, cracking, or bubbling later on.
