I have a bit of redecoration to do - a total DIY novice but need to save some £££s. I have bought paint but have no idea how to "prep" ready for painting. Can anyone advise?
The emulsion on walls and ceiling I can handle, but the woodwork I am not so sure.
Room 1 - bathroom - a lot of white eggshell painted woodwork which merely needs a freshen up with more white eggshell - it was only done 3 or 4 years ago so one coat will probably do it.
Room 2- bedroom. I want to paint over white gloss woodwork with an off-white eggshell. It's not in terrible condition but it is quite old (10 years) and probably dirty.
All the paints I have bought are water based. I have no idea where to begin! Please help!
