Texture painting Canberra

Matching an existing texture is harder than applying a new one

Plenty of Canberra homes and commercial buildings have textured walls and ceilings, from rolled and trowelled render finishes to older stipple and knockdown ceilings. Repairing a section of one is genuinely difficult: if the texture, the depth and the sheen do not match, the patch is the first thing anyone sees.

We do both sides of this work. New textured and specialty coatings where you want depth and character rather than a flat wall, and repair work where damage, a renovation or a removed wall has interrupted an existing textured surface.

Texture repair often runs alongside repainting and renovation painting after building work.

Textured wall coatings

Rolled, trowelled and sprayed texture finishes on interior and exterior walls, in the depth and pattern you want.

Render and acrylic finishes

Acrylic texture systems over render and blockwork, including flexible membranes on surfaces prone to hairline cracking.

Ceiling texture repair

Damaged or patched stipple and knockdown ceilings repaired and blended so the repair is not visible under downlights.

Matching existing texture

Sample patches worked up and checked against the existing surface before we commit to the full repair.

Feature and specialty finishes

Depth and character finishes for feature walls, entries and commercial spaces where flat paint falls short.

Recoating over texture

Painting existing textured surfaces properly, using enough product to coat the profile rather than bridging it.

How we get a repair to disappear

A texture repair is judged in raking light, so that is how we check it.
