Quick touch-up painting for rental properties. Scuffs, marks, and minor damage covered. Walls looking fresh for new tenant without full redecoration cost.
### The Scuff Reality
Walk around after a tenant's left. **Scuffs by every door. Marks where furniture was. Blu-tack damage throughout.** Full redecoration would be ideal, but budget says "just make it presentable."
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Touch-ups work when walls are generally okay with localized marks. If the whole wall's tatty, you need proper decorating. I'll tell you honestly which applies.

Good to Know
> 🎯 **Paint matching tip:** "Magnolia" and "Brilliant White" vary between brands. If you don't have original paint, bring a sample (switch plate works) to match exactly. **Paint age matters:** Fresh paint on 5-year-old walls will show. The old paint's yellowed or faded. Sometimes better to do whole walls even if it's more expensive. **Rental whites:** Most rental properties use cheap contract matt in magnolia or white. This is good - it's designed for frequent touching-up and repainting. Keep the same color and brand for consistency. **Major damage?** If there are huge marks, multiple holes, or damaged plaster, touch-ups won't cut it. You need proper preparation and full walls painting. I'll be honest about what's needed. **Student properties?** These usually need more than touch-ups after a year. Budget for full redecoration every 2-3 years - it's cheaper than trying to patch increasingly tatty walls.
Frequently Asked Questions about Touch-up painting for rentals in Tiverton
What counts as touch-up painting versus full redecoration?
Touch-ups are covering scuffs, marks, small areas of damage - stuff that takes 1-2 hours. If you need whole walls or rooms doing, that's proper decorating. I'll tell you honestly which your property needs.
Do I need to provide paint or do you?
Either works. If you've got leftover paint from last decoration, perfect. If not, I can match common rental whites/magnolias and bring paint. Exact color matching for unusual colors takes longer.
Can you fill holes and paint over them?
Yes - picture hooks, blu-tack damage, small dents. Fill, sand, paint. If there are loads of holes or big damage, it might need proper plastering first.
How long before it's dry for new tenant?
Touch-dry in an hour usually. Fully dry in 2-4 hours. Schedule it for morning and it's fine for afternoon viewing/handover. Don't push furniture against fresh paint though.
Will the touch-ups be obvious?
Depends on wall condition and paint age. New paint on old walls shows a bit until it fades. If walls are really marked all over, you're better off doing whole walls - patching won't look great.
