Price of Staircase Painting in Reading


Thinking of giving your staircase a fresh coat of paint but not sure how much it costs? Here's what affects the price:


Things that Change the Price:

  • Size and Shape: Bigger or more complicated staircases with landings or fancy details will need more time and paint, so they might cost more.
  • Staircase Condition: If your staircase needs fixing, lots of preparation, or has tricky features like spindles, the price will be higher.
  • Paint Type: Special paints, like non-slip or extra tough ones, might be pricier than normal paints.
  • Extra Details: Adding things like stencils, a different colour for the handrail, or special finishes will also increase the cost.


Rough Prices:

  • Simple Staircase: For a typical staircase in good condition, you can expect to pay around £350 to £450.
  • Trickier Staircases: If your staircase is big, needs fixing, or you want special finishes, the price could be £700 or more.

Make Your Stairs Look Incredible with Varnish


Love your wooden staircase? Varnish is a brilliant way to keep them looking their best and protect them from everyday knocks and spills.


What is Varnish?

Varnish is like a see-through protector for your staircase. It makes the wood look even better and stops it from getting scratched or marked.


Why Should You Varnish Your Stairs?

  • Looks fantastic: Shows off the natural beauty of the wood.
  • Strong protection: Makes the wood tough and easy to wipe clean.
  • Lasts for ages: Helps your stairs stay in tip-top shape for years to come.


Different Types of Varnish:

  • Glossy: Shiny and bright, like a mirror.
  • Satin: A little bit shiny, like a pearl.
  • Matt: Not shiny at all, a natural look.


Our Varnish Service in Reading:

  • Experts: We use the best varnish and know how to put it on perfectly.
  • Careful: We clean your stairs carefully before we start.
  • Quick: We work fast so you can use your stairs again in no time.


Is Varnish Right for Your Stairs?

Varnish is perfect for wooden stairs that are in good condition. If your stairs are damaged, we can help you decide what to do.

Commonly Asked Questions


  • How should I prepare my staircase for painting?

    To help things run smoothly, we recommend clearing the area where we'll be working. This includes moving furniture and removing any valuables. If you need help with this, just let us know, and we can assist.

  • Will my home be protected during the painting process?

    • Safety first: Our team will wear appropriate safety equipment, including masks and gloves, to protect themselves and your home.
    • No slips or trips: We utilise secure ladders and scaffolding to ensure safety at all heights, preventing any accidents.
    • Breathe easy: We maintain good ventilation throughout the project to minimise paint fumes and ensure a fresh and healthy environment.
  • Can you repair any damage to my stairs before painting?

    • Minor touch-ups: Yes, we can fill small scratches, dents, and imperfections as part of the preparation process.
    • More extensive repairs: For significant damage, we may recommend arranging for repairs separately before we begin the painting process.
  • How long will it take to paint my staircase?

    • It depends: The duration of the project depends on the size, complexity, and condition of your staircase.
    • Typical timeframe: Most staircase painting projects take between 1 and 3 days to complete.
    • Working around your schedule: We always strive to schedule the work at a time that's most convenient for you and minimises disruption to your daily routine.
  • How do I care for my newly painted staircase?

    • Keep it clean: Wipe down the surfaces regularly with a soft cloth and a mild cleaning solution to maintain their appearance.
    • Gentle products only: Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the paint finish.
    • Stay vigilant: Keep an eye on your staircase for any signs of wear and tear and let us know if you notice any issues.
  • Do you provide the paint?

    Absolutely! We supply all the necessary paints and materials for the job, using high-quality products that are durable and provide a beautiful finish.

  • Do I need to stay at home while you're working?

    It's entirely up to you! Many of our customers prefer to be out while we're painting, but you're welcome to stay at home if you prefer. We'll do our best to minimise any disruption to your day.
