Freshly painted walls can still look tired next to chipped skirting boards, yellowed frames and marked doors. Crown Finish Painters provides doors, frames and skirting painting in Melbourne for homes, apartments and commercial spaces. Every surface is cleaned, filled and sanded before hard wearing enamel is applied for a smooth, crisp finish, with a written, itemised quote before work begins.
Trims are the details that frame every room. When they're crisp and clean, the whole space looks finished.
Crown Finish Painters TeamDoors, frames and skirting boards get more wear than almost any other surface in a home. Vacuums bump skirting, hands mark doors, and older oil based trims slowly turn yellow. Painting them well takes more care than painting walls: each surface needs to be cleaned, sanded, filled and primed correctly before enamel goes on, or the new paint can peel or scratch.
For door frame painting and skirting board painting, the team fills dents and gaps, caulks joins where trims meet walls, and uses a durable enamel for a smooth finish without heavy brush marks. Doors can be painted in place or removed and finished separately when needed. Trims are often painted alongside walls and ceilings or as part of a full interior painting project.
Every doors, frames and skirting quote is written and itemised, so you know exactly which doors and trims are included.
Doors, frames and skirting take knocks from vacuums, shoes and hands every day, so they need a harder, more washable finish than walls. The sheen level you choose changes both how they look and how long they last.
No shine at all. Hides flaws well but marks easily, so it's rarely used on trims.
A soft glow. Great for walls, but not hard wearing enough for doors and skirting.
A gentle sheen that's durable and easy to clean, popular for modern, understated trims.
The most common choice for doors, frames and skirting. Tough, wipeable and crisp.
High shine and very hard wearing, but shows every dent and brush mark.

Homeowners usually ask the same questions before painting doors, frames and skirting boards. Here are clear answers.
A durable enamel in a semi gloss or satin finish is best for skirting boards and door frames, because it handles knocks and regular cleaning. Water based enamel is the most popular choice as it's low odour and doesn't yellow, while oil based enamel gives a very hard finish but can yellow over time.
The cost of painting interior doors and frames depends on how many there are, their condition, whether they're flat or panelled, any repairs needed, whether the colour or paint type is changing and the number of coats. Crown Finish provides a free, written and itemised quote after a quick look, so you know the exact cost before work starts.
Most homes use white or a lighter tone on doors, frames and skirting to contrast with the walls, but painting trims the same colour as the walls is a popular modern look that makes rooms feel calm and seamless.
Yes, but the surface needs to be cleaned, sanded and primed with a suitable bonding primer first. Without the right primer, water based paint can peel off oil based trims.
Oil based enamels naturally yellow over time, especially in areas with less natural light. Repainting with a water based enamel keeps trims whiter for longer.
Most doors are painted on site. Where a spray finish is needed, doors can be removed and finished separately. See spray painting for more.
