Running your own business means wearing a lot of hats – and for Paul Sharpe, owner of PS Painting & Decorating, that’s no exaggeration.
“I’m the decorator, customer service adviser, marketeer, accountant and administrator,” Paul laughs. “It’s a busy life, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

After more than twenty-five years in the decorating trade, Paul has built a trusted local business that’s known for craftsmanship, care, and results that truly transform a home. “A good decorating job can do more than change a room,” he says. “It can completely change how a home feels.”

That belief has shaped the business from the beginning. From the first call with a new customer to the final brushstroke, Paul prides himself on delivering a friendly, professional service and a flawless finish. His reputation has grown largely through word-of-mouth recommendations, with many customers returning time and again – a sure sign he’s doing something right.

Traditional Skills Meet Modern Techniques

While PS Painting & Decorating still offers the full range of traditional painting and wallpapering, Paul has embraced innovation too, expanding into modern spray applications.
“Kitchens are the heart of the home,” he explains, “and spray painting offers an incredible way to refresh them without the cost or disruption of a full refit.”

The process gives dated cabinets a new lease of life, transforming tired units into sleek, modern designs in just a few days – and at a fraction of the price of replacement. “It’s smart, sustainable, and customers are always amazed at how good it looks,” Paul says.

The service doesn’t stop at kitchens, either. PS Painting & Decorating also offers spray refinishing for worktops, uPVC doors and windows, and can even smooth over textured ceilings to create a clean, contemporary look.

That leap into spray technology was a game-changer for the business – and it’s one that’s earned serious recognition. Paul was recently named Winner for Spray Application at the Dulux Select Decorator Awards, a proud milestone that reflects his attention to detail and commitment to quality.

Proudly Local – Giving Back to the Community

Outside the business, Paul is a proud dad and passionate supporter of local football. His company sponsors grassroots football teams, a gesture he says is his way of giving something back. “The community has supported me and my business for years – it feels right to return the favour.”

A Personal Touch, Every Time

At its heart, PS Painting & Decorating isn’t about big teams or corporate contracts – it’s about people. Every home tells its own story, and Paul sees it as a privilege to help bring that story to life. Whether it’s a single-room refresh or a whole-home transformation, his goal never changes: to leave customers genuinely delighted.

“We’re not a big company – and that’s exactly how we like it. We’re local, reliable, and proud of the reputation we’ve built for being friendly and transformative.”

If you’re thinking about updating your home – especially your kitchen – without the cost or chaos of a full refit, PS Painting & Decorating can help.
