Wall Surfaces We Paint
Interior & Exterior
âś… Plaster Wall Painting
Older Cardiff homes, like many lovely Victorian properties in Roath or Pontcanna, often have plaster walls. These need special care.
We always use breathable paints, preventing damp from getting trapped.
Before painting, we carefully prime the surface so the paint sticks beautifully and lasts longer. We then gently clean away any dust and expertly fix any hairline cracks for a flawless look.
Primrose Decor ensures your traditional plaster walls look stunning.
âś… Drywall Painting
Drywall (plasterboard) is common in newer Cardiff homes, perhaps like those in Lisvane or extensions in Thornhill.
Getting that perfectly flat, smooth finish is key. We often start by applying a sealer, especially on new boards, to prevent patches.
Careful sanding and using the right primer follows, creating the ideal base. We then skilfully hide any joins or fix tiny bumps before applying the final colour, ensuring a professional result every time for your Cardiff walls.
âś… Rendered Wall Painting
Render protects many Cardiff homes, from Cyncoed to Rhiwbina, but needs upkeep against the rain and sun. Primrose Decor uses top-quality masonry paints designed to shield your home while letting walls breathe.
Before painting, it’s vital to remove any old, flaky paint so the new coat bonds strongly. We then fill any cracks using flexible fillers that move with temperature changes, preventing future splits.
Finally, a thorough clean removes dirt, ensuring a smart, long-lasting exterior finish.

âś… Brick Wall Painting
Thinking of having the brick walls painted on your Cardiff property, maybe a traditional terrace in Grangetown or Splott? It needs to be done right!
The most crucial step is using breathable paint that lets moisture escape from the brick, preventing damage.
Primrose Decor always checks the pointing (the mortar between bricks) first, fixing gaps to keep water out. We then carefully clean the brick surface before applying a suitable primer to help the paint adhere properly, giving your brickwork a fresh, protected finish.
âś… Concrete Wall Painting
From garage floors in Llandaff North to commercial unit walls near the Bay, concrete needs tough treatment.
Primrose Decor knows that durability is key, using hard-wearing paints especially for high-traffic areas. We apply special primers designed to stick fast to concrete and block stains.
Proper cleaning is essential first – often involving pressure washing for outside areas – to remove dirt and ensure the paint lasts.
We’ll choose the right weather-resistant finish for your exterior concrete walls.
âś… Wooden Cladding Painting
Wood cladding adds character to Cardiff homes, perhaps features near Roath Park or modern touches in Radyr, but needs protection.
We use flexible paints or stains that allow the wood to naturally expand and contract without cracking the finish.
Before applying anything, we thoroughly clean the surface and sand it smooth. We carefully check for and treat any rot, and often fully remove old failing finishes to guarantee the new coating lasts, keeping your Cardiff cladding beautiful and safe from the elements.

Our Process For Painting Cardiff Walls
Getting your Cardiff home or business painted by Primrose Decor is easy and worry-free.
We follow clear steps to give you a brilliant, lasting finish.
Here’s our painting process:
1. Free Visit & Quote
A great painting job starts with understanding what you need. We love hearing your ideas for colours and finishes first – maybe you want a classic look for your Victorian terrace in Cathays, or something modern for a city flat.
We then offer a free visit to your Cardiff property to chat properly and look closely at the walls, checking their condition and spotting anything that needs fixing.
We prepare a full quote that’s clear, detailed, and tailored to your space – no guesswork, no surprises.
You’ll know exactly what’s included, how long it will take, and what it will cost.
2. Wall Preparation
Before any paint touches the walls, protecting your home or business is our priority. We carefully cover furniture and floors with dust sheets and use masking tape for clean lines.
Next, we prepare the walls. This often involves washing surfaces to remove grime, followed by filling any holes or cracks and sanding smooth.
For outside jobs such as painting window frames in Penylan, we ensure surfaces are perfectly prepped to handle the Cardiff weather.
3. Applying Primer to Walls
Primer is often essential for a top-quality job. It helps the final colour look true and rich, and makes the paint stick properly for years to come.
We choose the best primer for your specific walls in Cardiff – whether it's older lime plaster or modern plasterboard.
For exteriors, we use primers designed to cope with the Welsh rain before carefully applying this base coat.
4. Expert Wall Painting
Now for the colour! We work with high-quality paints, including low-odour options where needed. Our skilled Cardiff wall painters apply the paint smoothly using professional techniques.
We believe multiple thin coats give a much better, more even, and longer-lasting finish than one thick coat, allowing proper drying time in between.
Careful cutting in ensures all your edges and corners look sharp and neat. For exterior painting in areas like Whitchurch or Llanishen, we always work with the weather, painting only in suitable dry conditions.
5. Quality Check and Touch Ups
Our painting job isn't done until everything looks perfect. After the paint dries, we do one last careful check of your Cardiff home or business.
Using bright lights, we look closely at every wall and surface for any marks or spots. If anything needs fixing, we do the touch-ups straight away. This ensures you get a flawless finish that makes your property look great.
6. Tidy Up
Our last steps are to make your place clean and tidy. First, we pack up our tools and take away all the rubbish. Then, we carefully remove all the covers we used to protect your furniture.
We do a full clean-up, leaving your Cardiff home or business (like your shop in Canton or office near the centre) tidy and ready for you.
Finally, we'll walk around with you to
look at the work together. We want to make sure you're fully happy before the job is finished.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does wall painting cost in Cardiff?
Every painting job is unique, so the cost will be too.
Several factors affect the price, including:
- Area Size: How big is the space? (e.g., a flat in Cardiff Bay vs. a large house in Lisvane).
- Wall Condition: Are your walls smooth or do they need prep work?
- Paint Finish: What look do you want? (e.g., matt, silk, eggshell).
- Details: Are there complex features like detailed woodwork, often found in older Cardiff homes?
Because these things vary, the best way to know the exact cost is to get a free, personalised quote from Primrose Decor.
There's absolutely no pressure to go ahead.

How long will it take to paint the walls in my Cardiff property?
The time needed depends on the job.
Painting a single room might only take a day or two, while painting the whole house exterior could take a week or more, especially depending on the weather!
The size, the amount of preparation needed, and drying times all play a part.
When Primrose Decor gives you your free quote, we’ll also provide a clear time estimate for your specific project.
Do I need to move all my furniture out?
No need to empty the rooms completely!
We do ask if you could clear smaller items and valuables beforehand.
What about larger furniture like sofas or beds? Primrose Decor can help with those, especially if space is tight, like in many terraced houses in areas such as Canton.
We'll carefully move your furniture into the centre of the room and protect them fully with clean dust sheets while we work.
What kind of paint does Primrose Decor use?
We strongly believe in using high-quality trade paints (like Dulux Trade, Crown Trade, or Johnstone's Trade).
Why? Because they give a much better, tougher, and longer-lasting finish compared to standard retail paints, meaning your Cardiff home looks great for longer.
They cover better too! If you have your heart set on a specific brand or colour, let us know – we’re happy to discuss using other quality paints suitable for the job.
Do I have to buy the paint or any other materials?
Not at all! Primrose Decor provides everything needed for painting your Cardiff property.
Our quote includes all the paint, primers, fillers, sandpaper, protective dust sheets, tape, rollers, brushes – the lot. It’s all part of our complete service.
Should I stay home while you're painting?
It’s entirely up to you! Many of our Cardiff clients are happy to leave us a key while they are at work or out for the day.
You can trust the Primrose Decor team to be professional and respectful of your home. We'll arrange access in whatever way feels comfortable and convenient for you.
Of course, you are also very welcome to be home while we work.
Are your painters fully insured?
Yes, absolutely. Our painters hold comprehensive Public Liability Insurance.
This gives you complete peace of mind that, in the unlikely event of an accident, your Cardiff property is fully protected while we are working there. We can provide details on request.
