“We hired Ika and his team to paint our house (very old) and couldn't be happier with the results. They were incredibly professional, offering a high standard of work at a very reasonable price. Communication was seamless, making the entire process stress-free. Very tidy and worked through the evening until job was done.
About us
A decade of brushes, rollers & craftsmanship
Our story
A craft built on detail
All Colours Painting Contractor Limited is a painting and decorating company serving Dublin & surrounding areas for over 10 years. We've grown almost entirely by word of mouth — most of our work comes from clients who've used us before, or from architects and interior designers who trust us to finish their projects properly.
From a single feature wall in a city flat to full repaints of period townhouses and commercial fit-outs, we treat every job the same: prepare meticulously, paint cleanly, leave the site spotless.
If you're after a contractor who takes pride in straight lines, sharp cut-ins and a finish that lasts, you're in the right place.
Our approach
Protection. Preparation. Finish.
Every job goes through the same three stages — relentlessly. It's how we guarantee a faultless, long-lasting finish.
01
Protection
Everything we don't paint is protected. Floors covered, fixtures masked, furniture sheeted — your home or premises is left exactly as we found it.
02
Preparation
The finish is only as good as what's underneath. We sand, fill, prime and prep meticulously so paint adheres, lasts and looks right.
03
The Finish
Trade-grade paints, sharp cut-ins and clean lines. We leave only when the job genuinely looks finished to a professional standard.

A note from us
It's still personal
We're a small team. The person who quotes the job is on site for the job. The phone is answered by someone who's actually been up a ladder this week. That's not marketing — it's just how a small trade business works when it cares about its reputation.
Every client we've ever had has come through word of mouth or repeat business. We've never paid for a single advert. The day that changes is the day we've stopped doing the job properly.
If you're trusting us with your home or your premises, you should know who's coming through the door. That's why every quote we send includes the name of the lead painter who'll be on your job — and you'll meet them at the site visit, not on day one.
In their own words
What clients say about working with us
5.0 · word-of-mouth, all real clients
“Great painters, very helpful with design ideas for my coffee shop at Denmark Street, Dublin 1. Great workers, highly recommend.
“I hired Ika and his team to paint an extension of my house for me. They did early starts and were quick, really clean and efficient with zero fuss. They also did any repairs that were required to be done on the walls before painting. The finished job was excellent! I highly recommend Ika and his team for any job.
“Ika and his team did a great job at our house. They did a beautiful job repairing a leak and painting all our soffits. They also repaired two flat roofs. All the fellows working were very pleasant.
“I used IKA and his team to paint a garden wall and large trellises. IKA and his team are very reliable, work to a very high standard and are reliable and punctual. I will definitely use them again.
“I have used All Colours for several painting projects in my home, and I can say, without a doubt, that Ika and his team are professionals who provide quality work with attention to detail and customer care. All that and affordable pricing too. Thank you!
