A carpenter will replace a banister for a reasonable price, dependant on the work involved and the size of the staircase. You're looking in the hundreds, rather than thousands. As with any interior design element though, there's a high end option if you have the budget. After I was done painting the banister I had to face facts. Even though the zebra patterned spindles were growing on me, I didn’t think Mique would like them so I took the plunge. I painted all 228 sides of the spindles (ask me how I know how many sides there are). It was by far the most time consuming step but it made the job look a lot better.The primer is not intended to cover evenly, so don’ t be discouraged when some sections of the wood absorb the primer more or less than other sections. The picture above is actually before the before…the original staircase when we first moved in. It’s fun to see all the stages it’s been through! This is perhaps the most important thing to consider when you’re painting your banisters. Sure, we all want that perfect look but it’ll mean nothing if in a few month’s time your paint is starting to scratch off or fade. Our favourite feature of the paint is it’s durability and this was echoed by professional decorator Phil Hann who said this when we asked him why he chose Johnstone’s Aqua: I did a bunch of research first because I am severely manually challenged. I went to the hardware store got my supplies and got started.

Being a satinwood finish, it’s also a bit nicer on the eye due to it being a mid-sheen and gives a nice balance between being good at hiding imperfections but not being too reflective. In our house my wife makes a Honey Do list. She posts in on the fridge, knowing that me and the fridge are tight. Needless to say, I see it 27 times a day. What she doesn’t know is that I divide that list into two sublists. The ‘Ya I’ll do that” list and the “Um, I’ll do that…EVENTUALLY!” list. Firstly, it’s worth noting that gloss paint is typically extremely durable. And in this case with the Johnstone’s non-drip gloss, that’s certainly accurate.

Costs for replacing a banister depends on the material you choose to do the job, but can range from a few hundred pounds to tens of thousands.When you apply the primer and paint start with the underside first. excess product will accumulate on the sides giving you a chance to smooth it out when moving to the sizes and top of the banister. Originally I thought I was not going to pain the spindles to I taped off each spindle (57 of them…Ask me how I know). I seriously counted to 57, 58 times during this project). Even though I painted the spindles, I’m glad I prepped each one because the tape made a very clean divide line that I wouldn’t have been able to eye ball Secondly, this particular gloss is one coat and doesn’t need an undercoat. This means that beyond a bit of prep, you can have the job done in a matter of minutes. Also, Not sure why whoever designed our banister included a decorative beveling on the bottom of the banister which no one can see and so far the only purpose I can think of was to cause the tape process to take 3 times as long.

Here’s a tip: when painting, start at the bottom so you can grab onto the railings until you’re ready to paint them last.

My favourite thing about Crown’s satin is that it’s actually more like an eggshell in finish (the white is beautiful) but has the durability of satin. So the sheen is quite low but the durability is decent, especially for banisters. Being cheap obviously helps!
