Interior Painters and Decorators in Edinburgh
We work in houses, flats, rental properties and commercial premises throughout Edinburgh, delivering careful preparation, clean lines and smooth, durable finishes.
Every successful decorating project starts with understanding the property, the condition of its surfaces and the result you want to achieve.
Whether you are updating a tired bedroom, repainting a hallway or planning a complete property transformation, we manage the work from initial preparation through to the final finishing touches.
Floors, furniture and nearby surfaces are protected before work begins. Walls, ceilings and woodwork are prepared as required, and suitable products are applied carefully to achieve an even, consistent result.

Transform the heart of your home with carefully prepared walls, ceilings and woodwork. We deliver a clean, consistent finish that complements the room’s lighting, furnishings and overall style.
Refresh bedrooms with professionally painted walls and ceilings, precise edges and suitable finishes that help create a comfortable, polished space.
We use practical, durable finishes appropriate for busy living areas, with careful attention around units, fittings, radiators and architectural details.
These high-traffic areas require careful preparation and hard-wearing products. We can also manage difficult-to-reach walls, ceilings and stairwell features.
Skirting boards, doors, frames, bannisters and window surrounds are prepared and painted to create a crisp finish that completes the room.
For larger projects, we coordinate painting and decorating throughout the property to achieve consistent colours, finishes and workmanship from room to room.
Applying paint is only one part of professional decorating.
Before work begins, we assess the condition of the walls, ceilings and woodwork. Depending on the property, preparation may include:
- Cleaning and degreasing surfaces
- Filling minor holes and cracks
- Sanding uneven areas
- Removing loose or flaking paint
- Sealing stains or porous surfaces
- Preparing previously painted woodwork
- Caulking suitable gaps and edges
- Applying appropriate primers and undercoats
Where more extensive work is required, we can also provide dedicated plastering and skimming or surface preparation and restoration before decorating begins.
We discuss the rooms, surfaces, colours and type of finish you would like, then assess the condition of the property.
You receive a quotation explaining the areas included, the preparation required and the agreed scope of work.
Floors, furniture and surrounding surfaces are protected. Walls, ceilings and woodwork are then prepared for painting.
The agreed coatings are applied carefully, with attention to coverage, cutting-in, edges and detailed finishing.
We inspect the completed work, address any finishing touches and leave the working area clean and tidy.
Every room and property is different, but the following guide provides an indication of typical interior painting costs.

Final costs depend on the size and condition of the rooms, the amount of preparation required, the surfaces being painted and the products and finishes selected.
Please note: These prices are general guides and do not constitute a fixed quotation. Materials, specialist preparation, repairs and access requirements will be confirmed as part of your personalised quote.
We focus on the preparation, edges, coverage and finishing touches that determine the quality of the completed room.
Floors, furniture and nearby surfaces are protected, and we keep the working area organised throughout the project.
We explain the proposed work before starting and keep you informed as the project progresses.
We arrive as agreed, work carefully and aim to complete the project within the discussed schedule.
Paints, primers and finishing products are selected according to the surface, room and expected level of wear.

We used Kamil and his team for our full house project. From the onset, Kamil was professional, on time and polite. He kept me updated with progress and was always available if I needed him. His team were excellent and the work was extremely well done. They worked very hard to get ahead of schedule so we could move in. My house was left very clean at the end. I 100% recommend hiring Capital!Posted on Google![]()

I hired Capital Painters for my first renovation project and they have been amazing. They made me a quote on the spot, explained every step of the work, provided clear timelines, and worked very hard to meet them. They were always on time, for everything, and very professional. Beyond the excellent quality of the work, what I really liked about them is that they were always available to answer my questions and adjust the work as needed. This was important for me as I was trying to stay on top of a complex project involving a dozen different tradesmen. I'll definitely hire them again.Posted on Google![]()
