Collection: Decorating Preparation Product

Every good decorating job starts with proper preparation - and the decorating preparation products at the DIY Hardware Store give you everything you need to get surfaces ready before a brush or roller touches the wall. Skipping preparation is the single most common reason DIY decorating jobs look poor or fail prematurely.

The range covers fine surface filler for small holes and cracks, ready-mixed and powder filler for deeper repairs, flexible filler for joints between different materials, sugar soap for cleaning and degreasing painted surfaces, and sanding materials in grits suited to everything from initial surface flattening through to the fine sanding needed before a topcoat. Primer and sealer products prepare porous, stained, or previously unpainted surfaces to accept the finishing coat uniformly.
