Need to give a room a refresh? Get an idea of how much it will cost to have various painting and decorating jobs done around your home before getting quotes from HaMuch’s database of reliable painters and decorators.
Whether you want to paint your hall, stairs and landing or want to give the exterior of your home a new lick of paint, read our cost guides to understand how much you’ll need to budget for your project.
A painter and decorator will charge an average of £24 per hour, but they may charge more or less depending on the job and where you are in the UK. The average day rate is £170 per day, but can be as little as £120 per day or as much as £400, especially in London and the south east.
Remember, cheapest doesn’t always mean best. While it can be tempting to just go with the cheapest painter and decorator you find, make sure you check out their references, insurance credentials and even reviews from previous customers if you can, to ensure that they’re reliable before you engage them. It might cost you more in the long run if you choose the cheapest decorator but then have to pay more to fix their shoddy work.
