5 Signs Your House Needs a Fresh Coat of Paint in Nigeria
Painting your house is not only about looking fine. It’s also about protection and comfort. But how do you know when it’s time to repaint?
Let’s show you 5 clear signs that tell you it’s time to bring out the paint bucket — or better still, call Prestige Paint.
1. Peeling or Cracking Paint
This is the most obvious sign.
-
If your wall looks like it’s shedding skin, the paint has expired.
-
Rain, heat, and dust break down low-quality paint faster.
-
Tip: Stop using chalky emulsion. Use Prestige Classic or Timeless Emulsion for strong, long-lasting colour.
2. Faded or Dull Colour
The sun in Nigeria is not friendly. It bleaches bright paint in a few months if it’s not UV-protected.
-
Your once-bright yellow now looks like papaya.
-
White becomes brown. Blue turns to ash.
-
Fix: Go for fade-resistant paint like Prestige Exterior Emulsion. It’s built for harsh Nigerian weather.
3. Water Stains or Damp Marks
If you see patches, dark circles, or signs of dampness on the walls or ceiling, don’t ignore it.
-
That’s moisture. It will grow mould if you don’t act fast.
-
Solution: Fix the water source, allow the wall to dry, then repaint with moisture-resistant Prestige Satin Paint.
4. You’re Embarrassed to Invite People
Let’s be real.
-
If you find yourself explaining why the wall looks “like that,” or blaming “the children” every time someone visits, it’s time to paint.
-
Your space should reflect your taste, not your excuses.
5. It’s Been 3 to 5 Years Since You Painted
Paint doesn’t last forever, even good paint.
-
On average, quality paint lasts 3 to 5 years in Nigeria depending on the room and surface.
-
Kitchens and bathrooms wear out faster due to steam and cleaning.
Tip: Don’t wait till it’s bad. Repaint on time and enjoy a fresh look all year round.
