FAQs
Skirting board paint is specially designed to deliver a clean, robust paint finish that stands up to everyday knocks, scuffs and scrapes. Unlike standard wall paint, it offers superior adhesion and a tougher surface, making it ideal for areas that take more wear and tear, especially in busy hallways, living rooms and entryways.
With quick-drying, low-odour options and long-lasting colour retention, choosing the right paint for your skirting boards ensures a sharp, tidy finish that compliments your space and flooring while lasting for years to come.
Explore our collection of trade-quality and designer paints in diverse finishes and colours.
Skirting Board Gloss Paint
Our gloss skirting board paint forms a tough, hard finish that’s resistant to chipping, flaking and general wear. Creating a non-porous surface, gloss paint is easy to clean and water-resistant. Ideal for skirting, trims, doors and cabinets, these paints are great for high-traffic commercial areas.
Try our oil-based Johnstone’s Trade Aqua Guard Durable Gloss or water-based Crown Trade Full Gloss Tinted Colour Match. These glosses provide exceptional adhesion and durability with great coverage per litre.
Satin Skirting Board Paint
A cross between matt and gloss, the low shine of satin paints provides an understated elegance. Satin paints combat scratches, wear and tear and greasy finger marks. They’re ideal for high-traffic entrances, hallways and kids’ spaces.
Johnstone's Trade Aqua Guard Durable Satin and Little Greene’s Intelligent Satin are both scrubbable, low-VOC and water-based formulas.
Eggshell Skirting Board Paint
Eggshell paints offer a sophisticated, understated look. With a subtle lustre, eggshell finishes offer a tough finish that wards off moisture well. Offering a washable finish, eggshell finishes work well for interior trims in basements, moisture-prone spaces, wood surfaces and homes with pets.
Johnstone’s Trade Eggshell Colour Match and Macpherson Trade Acrylic Eggshell offer superior coverage and are ideal for bathrooms and kitchens.
Matt Skirting Board Paint
Conceal imperfections with our range of matt paints for skirting boards. Our matt skirting paint seamlessly integrates with other matt surfaces, ensuring cohesion between walls, wood and trims.
Consider water-based options like Paint and Paper Library’s Pure Flat Emulsion and Johnstone's Trade Aqua Guard Durable Matt for a resilient flat matt suitable for interior woodwork and metal.

To paint your skirting board with a carpet down:
-
Start by giving your skirting boards a wipe down to remove any dirt or dust. Allow to completely dry.
-
Prepare your carpet by applying a low-tack but wide-set masking tape along the edge of the carpet overhanging the skirting board. Tuck the excess under the skirting board to protect your carpet. You can do this by pushing the edges down with a scraper or a similar piece of equipment.
-
If you have dust sheets, it’s worthwhile putting them down to minimise any spillages or issues with your carpet coming into contact with your paintbrush.
