I have woodwork shelving fixtures in my room that I want to repaint. I have been told that I should use primer followed by an undercoat before applying the gloss pain. Are both coats required before the gloss paint or just one of these or could I even just use the gloss paint straight away? I want the best results, but I don’t know what the overall benefit is to using both coats before the gloss paint anyway.

Hi, I need to paint the new skirting boards and door frame in my living room. I'm not sure which paint to use. I know that the new wood will need undercoating but I just want to know what the best paint would be for a high-quality finish. I don't really like gloss painted wood so are there any other options? Should i be using oil-based or water-based paints? Thank you.

Hi there, I fear I might have mould or mildew in my bedroom under a bay window. I have washed the walls twice now but it seems to be returning. Will an a mould killer do the job? I have debated sanding it over and painting/skimming the area but dont want to if it's going to return. Is there a special paint I can buy to go over it? How do i identify what it is exactly? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I've had lots of renovation work done and need to paint a load of internal walls. I’m just wondering if there's any particular paint brands that I should be using? There seems to be so many options and I don’t want to buy something with rubbish coverage. How many coats should i be expecting, including undercoat? Thanks

Hi Guys, I’m currently on a project of redecorating my home. Right now, I want to repaint the walls/ceiling of my kitchen & bathrooms. I would like recommendations for the type of paint I should be using. I have been told that there are special paints for both, like ‘Dulux Kitchen / Bathroom +’, while I’ve also been told that any normal matte emulsion is fine too. I had planned on using the Dulux Classics Timeless range as it is an interior paint, but I don’t know if it would be suitable for my bathroom or kitchen with the possibility of heat and moisture in the air. What do you all recommend best? Will the bathroom need different paint for moisture?

Hello all, We are in the middle of planning some redecorating in the house at the moment and currently looking at what paints to use for skirting boards and doors right now. Some of them are bare wood and ready to be painted, while some already have a gloss paint applied to them previously. Should we remove the gloss paint from the already painted areas or just paint over them? Alternatively, we could use a different style of paint if that would better cover existing paint. If we need to remove the paint – what is the best option to do so, so that we can repaint again later? Any advice or past experiences would be great to hear about! Thanks!

Good afternoon. I’m going to be painting over plaster in my hall, stairs and landing. We want to keep the space light so we’re going with very pale blue paint. How many coats of paint will I need to cover the plaster? How long between coats of paint should I wait before the next?

Hi, I asked a handyman a while ago for a quote on removing peeling paint from my bathroom ceiling and repainting it. He told me that he would scrape off the peeling paint, seal over the area with diluted PVA glue and then paint over. I am now planning to do the work myself, but I wondered whether PVA is the right thing to be sealing the plaster with - I've heard mixed reports. Will it work or not?

Hi all. Shower had a leak (now been fixed) which came through onto our living room ceiling and its left water stains in one corner. Problem is the ceiling is textured and the room is open plan to a kitchen/diner area so we don’t want to repaint the whole lot. What is the best way to get rid of the stain?
