Interior Painting & Decorating in Cork
A fresh coat of paint transforms a room — but only if the preparation is right. We fill, sand, prime, and apply quality materials on properly prepared surfaces. The result is a clean, even finish with no brush marks, no missed corners, and no mess left behind.
We paint everything from single rooms to full-house refurbishments across Cork City and County Cork, and we're happy to advise on colours, finishes, and what will work best in your space.

Cork Painters Who Take Pride in the Finish
Good painting is mostly preparation — anyone who tells you otherwise hasn't seen what bad prep looks like a year later.
Preparation First
We fill every hole, sand every rough patch, and prime properly before a drop of paint goes on. That's what separates a finish that lasts from one that peels.
Clean Lines, No Overruns
Edges are masked precisely. Skirting boards, coving, and woodwork are cut in cleanly — no sloppy overlaps onto surfaces that shouldn't be painted.
Quality Materials
We use trade-grade paints and primers — not the cheapest tin on the shelf. Better materials means better coverage, better durability, and a truer colour.
Respectful of Your Home
Floors, furniture, and fixtures are fully protected before we start. We clean up thoroughly at the end of every day — not just when the job is done.
Colour Advice Included
Not sure what colours will work? We can advise based on your lighting, room size, and style — practical guidance, not a hard sell on a particular brand.
Fully Insured
Comprehensive public liability insurance on every job, operating fully within Irish building regulations.

Questions we regularly hear from homeowners across Cork about interior painting and decorating.
› How long does it take to paint a house interior in Cork?
A standard 3-bedroom house interior typically takes 5–8 working days, including preparation, priming, and two coats throughout. Single rooms can be completed in 1–2 days. We agree a clear timeline with you before starting.
› Do I need to supply the paint or do you provide it?
Both options work. We can supply and price trade-grade paints as part of your quote, or we can use paint you've already purchased. If you're unsure on colour choices, we're happy to advise before you commit to anything.
› Do you paint just one room or do you require a full house?
We take jobs of all sizes — from a single bedroom to a full house repaint. If you're unsure whether your job is the right fit, call us on 083 205 4916 and we'll be straight with you.

Yes — all quotes are free with no obligation. We visit the property, assess the scope, and give you a clear, itemised price before any work begins. Use our online quote form or call 083 205 4916.
› Do you paint woodwork and doors as well as walls?
Yes — we paint all interior surfaces including walls, ceilings, skirting boards, architrave, doors, window frames, and radiators. A full-room paint job includes all of these as standard.
