Why Choose Giraffe Decorators for Bathroom Painting in Chalford?
What a proper quote should list
- Preparation stated separately: filling, sanding, caulking, stain blocking and mist coats.
- The specific paint brand, product line and finish, so you can price the tin yourself if you want to.
- The number of coats per surface, not just the word decorate.
- A written scope naming every surface: walls, ceilings, woodwork, radiators, doors and frames.
- VAT position stated clearly so you are comparing the same number.
- Who is actually on site, and whether any of it is subcontracted.
On walls we default to a washable matt in circulation spaces and a flat matt where nothing touches, because sheen on a large flat plane shows every imperfection in the plaster behind it.
