Painting touch-ups, patching and small repairs

Holes patched, touch-ups painted in, blinds and curtains hung straight, and pictures, mirrors and shelves fixed properly to the wall.

What I can help with

Small painting and patching jobs are easy to put off, but a scuffed wall or a hole from an old shelf bracket is usually a quick fix when it's done properly. I bring the same care to a single wall as I would to a whole room.

  • Patching holes and dents in plasterboard or drywall
  • Patch-and-paint so the repair doesn't stand out
  • Touch-ups, feature walls, single rooms, doors and trims
  • Curtain rod and blind installation
  • Hanging pictures, mirrors and shelves properly into the stud
  • Fly screen re-meshing and replacement
  • Rust treatment and repainting on exterior beams, trims and railings
  • Small timber jobs, like a stained drinks ledge for a balcony rail
  • Fitting VJ wall panelling in small rooms like a sunroom or entry

Most of these jobs are small enough to knock over in a few hours, so it often makes sense to bundle them into one visit: patch the holes left by old picture hooks, touch up the scuffed hallway, hang the new blinds and re-mesh the torn fly screen. Send me a list and a few photos and I'll quote the lot together.

How I do it

  • Floors and furniture get covered before anything else happens.
  • Patches are sanded and primed so they disappear under the new paint, not just filled and left rough.
  • I measure twice for blinds and rails, once is how you end up with a crooked curtain.
  • I check for studs and use the right fixings for the wall and the weight going on it.

Getting a patch invisible under new paint is closer to lab work than people expect. Read a bit about my background.

Pricing

Small patch-and-paint jobs and single-room touch-ups are usually a fixed price once I've had a look or seen your photos. The price is agreed with you before I start. How pricing works.

This is one of my most-requested jobs across Coorparoo, Greenslopes, Stones Corner and East Brisbane, and I'm happy to travel a little further for the right job. See the full service area.

Good to know

Touch-ups, feature walls, single rooms, doors and trims are my bread and butter. If you're after a whole-house repaint, I can recommend a good painter.
