    Fabulous experience! I cannot recommend Gary highly enough. He was always prompt, communicated well and his work was perfect. It was clear he takes great pride in what he does and I’m delighted with the finished work. Thank you Gary!

    Re decorating MDF kitchen cabinets

    Posted 23 November 2025

    Hard working, with initially good intentions, however… Unfortunately they didn’t assess or plan the job properly from the outset. So ultimately was a very poor result. Very disappointing. I’ll have to do it all myself again.

    Response from Colourways Painting and Decorating Services

    I gave you a quote after your dispute with the previous contractors.you accepted the quote as explained. After the first day you confirmed you were pleased with the work & the colour of the units. You changed the colour & agreed to pay for the extra work. I sent the revised cost which you refused to pay, attempted to amend the original quote & sought to include additional units not agreed. Your satisfaction was demonstrated by your offer to pay 2/3 partway through the job. It was unexpected & unacceptable that final payment was delayed & limited to the original quote despite the extra work
