Painted faux marble is a great way to change the look your cast iron, slate or wooden fireplace. By faux marbling a fireplace you can create a hand painted feature that is unique and a great focal point of any room. Faux marbling is also a much used technique in the restoration of Victorian fire surrounds, which have often been painted with a marble effect, but are now looking tired and worn after over 100 years of use.

Over the years I have painted many fireplaces, with each marble effect complimenting the style, original features, and colourways within the room. Below are a few examples of projects I have undertaken, with before and after pics to show the full transformations.

Testimonial

‘What can I say other than totally blown away with completed work. Lee’s attention to detail was fascinating to watch. Dedicated, tidy, neat, friendly, professional. We asked his advice as we were uncertain (& lacked knowledge!) & valued his comments which made the end results even better than we could have imagined. Our comments don’t do his work justice. Everything just looks so natural that you don’t notice it. Absolutely no hesitation in recommending Lee & in the future if we require any more work like this we would happily welcome him back.’  Tony Richardson, Berwick
