House painting
Keeping paint looking new: touch-ups and maintenance between repaints
What homes here deal with
In the Gwalior region, paint wears for predictable reasons: dust in the dry months, damp after the monsoon, and knocks from furniture and daily life. Small problems caught early cost very little. Left alone, a leaking pipe or a chipped gate becomes a damp wall or a rusted grill that needs full repair.
Products for each part of the house
- Interior walls: wipe marks with a soft cloth; touch up with the same shade code
- Washable rooms: Berger Easy Clean handles regular cleaning
- Exterior: rinse dust off; recoat with Berger Walmasta or your original product when it fades
- Gates and grills: touch up chips with Berger Luxol Hi-Gloss over primer before rust spreads
- After each monsoon: check roofs, sunshades and lower walls for damp
Getting the job done well
- Paint exteriors between October and March; avoid the monsoon months.
- Repair cracks and damp before buying finish paint.
- Use primer on new or repaired plaster.
- Buy all tins of a shade together and note the shade code.
- Ask your painter how many coats are included.
Before the painter starts: a short checklist
- Fix leaks and damp first; paint will not stop water coming through a wall
- Scrape loose and flaking paint; sand glossy patches so the new coat grips
- Fill cracks, then prime repaired spots and any bare plaster
- Use putty only where the wall is uneven, and sand it smooth
- Cover floors and furniture; remove switch plates and fittings
- Note the shade code of every tin, so a later top-up matches
Questions to ask your painter before work starts
- Which walls need scraping, primer or putty, and which do not?
- How many coats of each product are included in the price?
- Who supplies material, and will you show me the sealed tins and shade codes?
- How will furniture, floors and fittings be protected?
- How many days will the job take, and how long between coats?

Frequently asked questions
Why does my touch-up look different?
Different batch, sheen or old paint fading can show. Using the same shade code and product, and painting to a corner, helps.
How often should I repaint?
It depends on the product and exposure. Repaint when washing and touch-ups no longer restore the look.
Can you re-tint my old shade?
Yes, if you have the shade code. Our tinting is computerised.
