Is it ok to gloss/ satinwood paint over existing gloss/ satinwood paint

I’m serious. I loathe having to undercoat, can I just paint over existing paint? or is that a terrible idea.

I have no choice but to paint/ decorate myself, but I’d almost rather not do it, than do two coats, so I will choose one coat emulsions etc, but what about gloss/ satinwood.

Really getting myself in a dilemma over it...( I know it’s not a major issue to anyone, but it’s my immediate issue of the day)
Advice appreciated

Bin is great. And you don't have to undercoat if you sand as long as you aren't going over a darker colour. One coat is good as long as it's not white as white goes yellow in a couple of months.

If you have alot to do It might be worth buying a cheapo sanding mouse (20 quid ish) - we did this and it just zipped over more or less effortlessly compared to elbow grease.
