Priming a surface before painting is vital if the surface is porous, glossy, stained, or if you are looking to achieve a drastic change in colour. In these circumstances, using an effective primer coat helps to ensure that the paint bonds properly with the surface, covers stains and ensures the proper paint colour is achieved with the top-coat. Explore our range of interior primers and undercoats to achieve the best finish for your walls, doors and furniture.
Interior Primers & Undercoats
Create the ideal surface for a fresh top-coat
It is important to prime interior walls and surfaces when painting on new or repaired drywall, when carrying out a major change in paint colour, when painting over oil-based or glossy paints and when you need to cover stains from moisture or smoke.
Our range of interior primers and undercoats offers a fantastic selection of coatings, from top brands such as Advanced Technologies, Coo-Var, Flag Paints, Rustins & Zinsser.
Whether you need to prime interior walls, ceilings, drywall, doors, stairs, woodwork, skirting, window ledges and more, we can supply suitable products for the job.
Coo-Var Prime All - Coo-Var Prime-All is a multi-surface primer / sealer made with low odour solvents. It gives excellent coverage to a multitude of stains, helping to prevent it bleeding through the finishing coat. It can be used on tiles, wood, metal (including galvanised), plaster, existing paint, masonry and most plastics.
Zinsser Ceiling Pro 5-in-1 – This product seals, primes, covers stains, bridges cracks and finishes ceilings, for a perfectly finished ceiling every time. It adheres to any surface, seals stains (including water and smoke stains), primes and finishes whilst bridging hairline cracks. In addition, Ceiling Pro 5 in 1 contains a biocide that protects the dried coating against fungal degradation, prolonging the life of your painted ceiling.
