About Us

Founder, Chris Bradley is an award-winning composer and musician who found himself well and truly out of work when the pandemic hit. He began painting his own railings and was amazed to feel a powerful sense of satisfaction! Painted Black is now a tight 4-man team with a fantastic reputation for high quality workmanship. We have collectively restored and painted around 500 sets of railings. Over time we've developed a method that we're extremely confident in. And we'd love to tell you all about it.

Do them once! Detailed preparation is the only way to achieve a long-lasting and durable finish. We don’t take shortcuts. The Scottish weather will always expose those who do! For example, we use a humidity meter before going ahead with the painting, so we know for sure that humidity levels are under 80%. Failure to check can result in a short-lived finish. Degreasing the rails before painting is another stage often skipped. Paint adhesion is greatly improved when the substrate is properly cleaned. We always make sure to degrease all surfaces thoroughly. We believe it's this attention to detail that sets us apart.
  • Chris did an excellent, thorough job preparing and painting railings for my back patio which had been neglected for many years. Chris is highly professional and friendly. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Painted Black.

  • Chris did an incredible job of restoring our front railings and gate, they honestly look brand new! He was lovely to deal with, the quote was incredibly reasonable, and he finished the job quickly with minimal disruption and no mess left behind. We will definitely use Painted Black again in the future, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.

  • We have now used Painted Black three times – once for our railings, once for our safety bars and recently for our internal rooms. Each time it’s been a really positive experience.
