Flat paint on a bathroom wall is one of the most consistent mistakes we fix every year. It’s never the colour that fails first. It’s the sheen, and the fix always costs more than getting it right the first time.

Most homeowners walk into a paint store, choose a colour, and accept whatever finish is suggested at the counter.

You know what’s funny about paint recommendations? Everyone seems to have an opinion but not many people have actually tested different brands side by side for years on end, in the same areas. Well, we have.

We’ve been painting houses in Perth, specifically Floreat for over a decade now. We’ve worked with Perth’s fast changing weather for a long time and have first-hand experience with how different brands stand up against each other.

The salty air and the wind patterns can make for some pretty harsh conditions to your paint job, and your paint will definitely let you know about it.
