Maliari Pro paints ceilings in Tbilisi. The scope follows the condition of the surface, the height of the room and the available access. We separate a simple colour refresh from work that needs repair and preparation from the outset, because a defect shows more plainly on a ceiling than on a wall.
What needs assessing first
Tell us whether the ceiling is plasterboard, plaster or a previously painted surface. Include photographs of joints, cracks, stains and the lighting. Where a moisture mark keeps returning, the cause must be resolved before a decorative coating is considered, or the stain will bleed through the new film as well.
What the work description covers
The description is detailed enough that nothing is left to argue about at handover:
- Ceiling dimensions and the height of the room.
- Recesses, cornices and the details included in the job.
- Repairs to be assessed and the extent of preparation.
- Protection and access around furniture and light fittings.
- Paint, finish, drying intervals and inspection.
- Working hours and the handover procedure.
How ceiling area is measured
For a flat rectangular ceiling, area is length × width — in a 4 × 3 m room that is 12 m². Multi-level, sloping or dormer ceilings need separate measurements, because the side planes add area. Ceiling work is agreed separately from the walls; see the painting cost guide.
Why every flaw shows on a ceiling
Light reaches a ceiling almost parallel to the surface, so each ridge casts its own shadow. This is why a matt finish is usually chosen for ceilings: it scatters light and hides small irregularities, while a sheen emphasises them. Choosing between finishes is set out in this guide to paint finishes.
What conditions the work needs
Water-based paint is usually applied between +5 °C and +30 °C, with humidity below 80%. A second coat follows after 2-4 hours. Working at a height of 2.8 m calls for stable access and a clear floor, so a room emptied of furniture speeds the job up and lowers the risk of damage.
Before and after painting
For board ceilings, read painting plasterboard. For old leak marks, see stains and damp. At handover, check the finish under the room's own lighting, preferably with the fittings switched on. Keep the care instructions and the product details. Discuss your ceiling with photographs and dimensions.
