Message Blade on WhatsAppHow it works
WhatsApp, a text, or the message form on this site. A rough idea and a few photos is fine.
Blade sees the job in person and tells you what it needs: the prep, the paint, the coats and how long. Written quotes on request.
Floors and furniture covered from start to finish. Before it’s called done, you walk round it together in good light.
Any change is agreed first. If something hidden turns up, like a second layer of wallpaper, Blade tells you and you agree any change before more work is done.
Who does the work
Blade Decor is Blade: a one-person painting and decorating business in Stoke-on-Trent, trading since 1997. No sales team and no strangers turning up. The decorator who looks at your job is the one who preps it, paints it and walks round it with you at the end.
More about Blade Decor
Where Blade works
Blade paints homes right across the Potteries: Hanley, Burslem, Tunstall, Stoke, Fenton and Longton, and over in Newcastle-under-Lyme. His MyBuilder customers have also had him out to Crewe and Congleton. Not sure if you’re close enough? Send your postcode on WhatsApp.
Rooms, hallways and stairs, ceilings and woodwork. Wallpaper hung or stripped, cracks and holes filled first, and outside walls, doors and windows when the weather allows.
Moving in and want it fresh, or moving out and want it back to how it was? Check your tenancy agreement or ask your landlord first, then send Blade a photo of the rooms.
Between tenants, Blade can fill and smooth the walls, repaint in hard-wearing neutral colours and leave the place clean, so it’s ready for photos and viewings.
Cost
Every job is priced after a look at it: size, the state of the walls and how much prep it needs all change the number. For a rough idea, here’s what UK decorators typically charge.
UK averages, before VAT, from Which?, November 2025. Not Blade Decor’s prices.
What affects the priceQuestions
Get in touch with roughly when you’d like it done. Good decorators are often booked a few weeks ahead, and spring and summer are busiest because of outside work.
As a guide, a small room takes one to two days and a larger room two to three, depending on preparation and how many coats are needed. Drying time between coats sets the pace. Blade will tell you how long it should take once he’s seen it.
Clear small items, ornaments and anything valuable, and take pictures off the walls if you can. Larger furniture can be grouped in the middle of the room and covered.
Ask Blade when he comes to look. Decorators usually either supply trade paint as part of the price or work with paint you’ve bought. Trade paint generally covers better and wipes cleaner than standard DIY-shop paint.
When the job is finished and you’ve walked round it together, and anything that needs a touch-up has been done. Ask Blade how he takes payment.
