Many other Stair Handrail Kits require you to drill into the actual rail itself during fitting. This is very difficult & can be hazardous with the drill bit liable to slip unless being performed by a competent DIY’er. All the fixings within our Stair Handrail Kit are produced to prevent any drilling of the rail to make fitting a lot easier & safer, saving time in the process. Available in 7 luxury STILEY colour finishes to make a feature out of the functional ensuring consistency for interior furniture. Our easy to install, elegant and stylish handrail kits enable you to create your dream design aesthetic without hassle or expense. Following on from WRX Trade Satinwood, I’ve gone with Johnstone’s Aqua Guard in the fifth and final spot on this list. Whilst the Aqua Guard is a tiny step up in quality, the price jump probably doesn’t warrant choosing it over WRX if you are working with a smaller budget. If you want high-quality stair paint that’s not going to break the bank, WRX Trade Satinwood is the paint for you.
It’s got teeth, grips incredibly well and is resistant to scuffs and scratches. A great choice if you can afford it!

This is a no-brainer. Painting your stairs with slippery paint can result in serious injury or worse. Therefore, it’s imperative that you choose a paint that has great slip resistance. Further to this, I would always recommend using anti-slip tape or a stair runner for added safety.
Whilst it may be tempting to go for a pop of colour when painting your stairs, it’s important to bear in mind your overall interior decor colour scheme before choosing a colour for your stairs. As it is touch dry within 30 minutes and re-coatable after 1 hour, it’s a convenient choice for many homeowners as you should be able to use the stairs on the same day that you paint them without having to worry about the paint lifting away from the surface. With that being said, I would advise giving it at least 16 hours before using the stairs just in case. The paint flows so well that there’s no danger of an orange peel effect or brush marks being present once it cures. Furthermore, it’s very forgiving when touching up with minimal, if any, flashing. There are a few other paints on this list that could ALMOST cope with the same amount of rigorous scratching but for me, Bedec MSP is simply the most durable. In terms of scuff and scratch resistance, it definitely out-competes WRX as it’s able to withstand a lot more wear and tear. But compared to Bedec and Bradite, it doesn’t quite measure up. For example, when I conducted a scratch test with my fingernail, Aqua Guard was fine. When I used door keys, it still held up. But when I used a sharper screwdriver it came off after a few seconds of scratching. The Bedec and Bradite on the other hand were immovable.Bradite are known in the decorating trade for having some of the most durable and hard-wearing paints on the market. And Bradite Floor-It is no different. Highly resistant to wear and tear and covering as well as any paint on this list, many professional decorators opt for this gear when painting stairs.
Warm, rich and inviting. Antique Copper is the go-to for those of you with an eye for the nostalgic. It’s grown up, but never stuffy. The type of colour that says “I know how to make an Old Fashioned” (don’t worry we won’t tell anyone if you don’t). The perfect partner for dark green and classic navy interior colour schemes. Feel free to be bold but neutral colours are usually the most complimentary colours to overall decor themes. Best Paint for Stairs 1. Bedec MSP: Best Paint for Stairs Overall The one thing that really impresses me about this paint is how great it adheres to previously painted surfaces. Once fully cured, its paint film is flexible enough to deal with the natural movements of wooden stairs but where it really excels is its incredible resistance to scuffs and scratches which is perhaps the most common problem of less durable stair paints. A before and after of a staircase I painted using Bedec MSP. The difference is remarkable.

This low-odour paint is suitable for use on exterior concrete so you can imagine how durable it is for interior stairs! Overall, my number one recommendation. A durable stair paint will be resistant to scratches and scuffs, flexible enough to deal with the movement of your wooden stairs and won’t wear down after excessive foot traffic. When you factor in attributes such as being easy to clean, having a lovely flow when applying and its high opacity and coverage, it’s simply unbeatable.
In terms of slip resistance, I would say that Bradite Floor-It ranks the highest out of all the paints on this list. It has fantastic adhesion and dries to a hard finish that provides plenty of grip when walking on it.I’ve been using Bedec MSP for 7 or 8 years now and can say that I’ve barely, if ever, had a problem with it. Whilst all the paints on this list are very high quality, Bedec MSP is my number one recommendation because it’s just so reliable and versatile.
