Why Paint Your Radiators
Radiator painting costs a fraction of replacement while delivering like-new results. New radiators cost hundreds each, while professional painting refreshes existing units for under £20 per radiator.


Newport’s older properties often have dated or damaged radiators that function perfectly but look terrible. Victorian terraces in Maindee frequently feature cast iron column radiators that are expensive to replace but look stunning when professionally painted. Modern panel radiators in Langstone developments often show wear or don’t match updated decor. Paint transforms their appearance without plumbing work or system disruption.
Painted radiators also resist further rust and corrosion, protecting your heating investment. The paint creates a barrier against moisture that causes deterioration.
For complete room updates, customers often combine radiator painting with our interior painting and wall painting services for coordinated colour schemes.

Our Radiator Painting Process
1. Preparation
We turn off heating and allow radiators to cool completely. Safety comes first.
2. Thorough Cleaning
We remove dust, dirt, and grease ensuring paint adheres properly. Clean surfaces are essential for lasting results.
3. Surface Preparation
We sand lightly, remove loose paint and rust, creating smooth bases for new paint.
4. Quality Primer
We apply metal primers preventing rust and enhancing paint adhesion. This step is crucial for longevity.
5. Professional Application
We use spray equipment or brushes depending on radiator type, applying multiple thin coats for smooth, durable finishes.
6. Proper Drying
We allow complete curing before resuming heating, ensuring paint bonds correctly.

Temperature Resistance
Our paints withstand radiator surface temperatures without yellowing, cracking, or emitting odours.
Efficient Heat Transfer
Paints don’t significantly reduce radiator output, maintaining home heating efficiency.
Colour Stability
UV-resistant formulations prevent fading, maintaining appearance even in sunny rooms.
