Painting & Decorating Services in Christchurch

A great paint finish is only as good as what's underneath it. Cracked walls, damaged ceilings, or ageing plaster don't just look tired — they can undermine even the best paint job if they're not properly repaired first.

At David Robertson Decorators, our team has been repairing and preparing Christchurch homes since 1991 — from character villas in Merivale, to homes along the Cashmere hills, to homeowners in Prebbleton preparing a property for sale, or families in Lincoln who've just moved into a newly bought home and want it looking its best. We know how to properly assess and repair damage, not just paper over it.

Beyond the quality of the work itself, hiring David Robertson Decorators means every repair is done to a standard that holds up — because a plastering job that isn't done properly shows up again within a year, and we'd rather do it right the first time.

Many older Christchurch homes — particularly in suburbs like Avonhead and Hoon Hay — still have original ceilings from decades past, sometimes including asbestos-containing material that needs replacing as part of a renovation. We work alongside licensed asbestos removal specialists, coming in once the old ceiling has been safely removed to install and finish new GIB to a smooth, paint-ready standard.
