Kitchen Nightmare in St Helens: From Disaster to Dazzling with JS Decor
We’ve all heard horror stories about dodgy tradespeople, but sometimes seeing is believing. Recently, we were called to a kitchen in St Helens that had been subjected to a truly appalling paint job. The homeowner, understandably distressed, had hired a “professional” painter, only to be left with a kitchen that looked more like a Jackson Pollock experiment gone wrong than a functional and beautiful space.
Let’s paint a picture (pun intended!): Imagine thick, an uneven paint finish & roller marks as well as heavy brush marks on the cupboard doors like a ploughed field. Picture a finish so fragile that it scratched off at the slightest touch, revealing the previous colour underneath. Envision a general sense of slapdash carelessness that permeated the entire room. It was, to put it mildly, a disaster.
The homeowner had understandably lost faith in the idea of a beautifully painted kitchen. They were left feeling frustrated, disappointed, and out of pocket.
That’s where JS Decor stepped in.
We understand that your kitchen is the heart of your home. It’s where you cook, eat, socialise, and make memories. It deserves to be a space you love, not a source of stress. We knew we had a challenge on our hands, but we were confident we could transform this kitchen nightmare into a dream come true.
Our first step was damage control. We meticulously assessed the existing paintwork, identifying all the problem areas. We then set about the painstaking process of rectifying the previous painter’s mistakes. We always remove the doors, drawers and kickboards and take them back to the workshop. This involved careful sanding to remove the badly applied paint, filling, and preparation to create a smooth and even surface ready for painting.
We discussed colour options with the homeowner, taking into account they had already decided we kept it the same as before Manor House Gray. We used only high-quality paints, known for their durability and flawless finish. Our team of experienced painters applied their expertise and attention to detail, ensuring every brushstroke was perfect.
The transformation was remarkable. The paint runs were gone, replaced by a smooth, even, and vibrant finish. The colours popped, the kitchen looked fresh and inviting, and the homeowner was absolutely thrilled with the results. What was once a source of stress had become a space to be proud of.
This St Helens kitchen serves as a cautionary tale about the importance of hiring reputable and experienced painters. Don’t let a bad paint job ruin your kitchen. Do your research, check reviews, and ask for recommendations.

We’re not just painters, we’re problem solvers.
We employ a thorough painting process, ensuring a high quality and durable finish. A key part of our approach is the application of multiple coats, we apply two coats of primer followed by two top coats of paint. Whilst allowing the paint to fully dry before apply subsequent coats it produces an end result to be proud of.
