Hard-Wearing Paints for Skirting Boards, Architraves and Interior Trim
Skirting boards are exposed to daily wear, moisture, and accidental impacts, making it essential to use a paint that combines strength with aesthetic appeal. Our interior skirting board paints are specially designed to meet these challenges, delivering tough, scuff-resistant coatings that maintain their appearance even in the busiest parts of the home. White paints, although many other skirting board colours are available, also help define your room’s edge with a polished, professional touch.
Whether you’re painting bare wood, MDF, or previously coated trim, these paints provide excellent flow and levelling to reduce brush marks and create an even surface. With options available for both brush and roller application, you can achieve a smooth finish with minimal effort and fuss. Many are touch dry in just a couple of hours, making them ideal for quick renovations or weekend projects.
Preparation is key to a lasting finish. We offer products compatible with undercoats and primers that help block stains, conceal knots, and improve adhesion — particularly on porous or glossy surfaces. Some paints offer built-in priming technology, allowing you to work directly over sound existing coatings to save time while still achieving excellent results.
With versatile finishes and robust performance, these paints are suitable for every interior style and compliment emulsions well — from contemporary minimalism to heritage-inspired schemes. Our collection is curated to meet the needs of decorators, homeowners, and professionals who expect flawless results and lasting protection in every room.
Skirting Board Paint FAQs
Can I paint over existing gloss paint on skirting boards?
Yes, but the surface must be properly prepared first. Lightly sand the gloss finish to dull the sheen and provide a key for the new gloss paint topcoat. Clean thoroughly to remove grease and dust. You can then apply a suitable undercoat or choose a skirting board paint that’s self-priming and designed to adhere to previously painted surfaces.
How do I stop brush marks when painting skirting boards?
Use a high-quality synthetic brush or a small roller designed for trim work. Apply paint evenly and avoid overworking the surface. Many skirting board paints are formulated with self-levelling properties to minimise brush strokes, especially when applied in thin, even coats under the right drying conditions.
Do I need to use a primer on bare MDF skirting boards?
Yes, MDF is highly absorbent and will soak up paint without a primer. A dedicated MDF or multi-surface primer seals the surface, providing better adhesion and helping to achieve a smoother, more durable finish. Once primed, your topcoat will apply more evenly and last longer.
