When a Refresh Is All You Need
If walls are sound, clean and free of significant damage, a refresh - light sanding, spot-priming and a fresh coat or two - can transform a tired room in a day or two rather than the week a full strip-back job might take. It is a popular option before selling or letting a property.
Refresh Versus Full Redecoration
We will always tell you honestly if a room needs more than a refresh - some walls have underlying issues that a quick coat of paint will not solve. For a like-new finish on tired surfaces, see our paint finish experts guide, or our full interior painting service if more extensive work is needed.

How is a refresh different from a full repaint?
A refresh involves lighter preparation on walls already in good condition, while a full repaint typically includes more extensive filling, sanding and priming.
Is a refresh cheaper than a full repaint?
Generally yes, since less preparation time is needed, though the exact saving depends on the room's condition.
Can you refresh a property before it goes on the market?
Yes, this is one of our most common refresh requests, usually with neutral colours to appeal to the widest range of buyers.
