Staircase Painting.
Spindles, banisters and strings painted in hard-wearing finishes built for daily traffic — priced as a hall-stairs-landing package or on their own.
About our staircase painting
A staircase takes more daily wear than any other woodwork in the house, which is why we spec it differently. Spindles are painted individually rather than sprayed in a blur, banister rails get a tough, grip-friendly finish that survives sweaty hands and school bags, and strings and risers are cut in cleanly against any carpet or runner. Because a stairwell rarely stands alone, we usually price it as part of a hall-stairs-landing package — walls, spindles, handrail and any woodwork finished together in one visit, one colour scheme, one clean-up. Hard-wearing eggshell or satin paint is used throughout, so scuffed toe-boards and gripped rails still look sharp months later.
What's included
- Full prep of spindles, strings, risers and handrail
- Two coats of hard-wearing eggshell or satin paint
- Hall and landing walls painted to match, as quoted
- Stair treads and carpets protected throughout

How pricing works across London.
Your quote across London is built from the job itself, not a rate card. Three things drive it:
Size & surfaces
How many rooms or walls, ceiling heights, and whether woodwork and ceilings are included.
Condition & prep
Cracks, old wallpaper, flaking paint or bare plaster — honest prep needs, priced up front.
Paint & access
Trade paint choice (or supply your own), and anything needing ladders, towers or scaffold.
A fixed price for your staircase painting project from a few photos.
Snap the rooms, tell us what you want — your written quote usually lands the same day.
Spray finishes: kitchens, doors & uPVC.
The most cost-effective transformation in decorating: spray finishes for kitchens, doors and uPVC across London.
Kitchen spraying
Cabinet doors, frames and end panels resprayed in any colour — a new kitchen look without the rip-out.
uPVC windows & doors
White to anthracite (or any colour) with 10-year coating systems, sprayed on site.
Furniture & garage doors
Wardrobes, dressers and garage doors refinished to match your scheme.
Prep is our obsession.
Cracks filled and sanded flat. Gaps caulked so lines stay crisp. Stains blocked, bare patches primed, old wallpaper stripped properly — not papered over. It's slower, and it's the only way your staircase painting project keeps looking sharp for years. If a wall needs plastering rather than paint, we'll tell you honestly.

Staircase Painting — frequently asked
How much does staircase painting cost?
It depends on the number of spindles, whether hall and landing are included, and the current condition of the woodwork. Snap the staircase from the hallway, send it over on WhatsApp, and a free fixed written quote comes back to you.
Can you paint just the spindles and handrail?
Yes, though most customers find it makes sense to do the hall, stairs and landing together while access equipment is already in place — we'll quote both options.
What paint holds up best on a staircase?
A hard-wearing eggshell or satin, specifically formulated for high-traffic woodwork, resists scuffs and grip marks far better than standard matt or gloss.
