Frequently asked questions

What does painting a room cost?

A room with a 12 m² floor is typically 35 000 – 70 000 Ft in labour, depending on the state of the walls. Per square metre: 1 200 – 2 500 Ft for painting, 1 500 – 3 000 Ft for filling.

Who buys the paint?

Materials are normally quoted separately from labour. Either you buy the paint or ask for it to be included — if included, ask for it itemised.

How long does it take?

One day for a room without filling; 2–3 days with filling and sanding, because filler and primer have to dry.

What counts as non-structural?

Painting, filling and small patch repairs. Removing walls, moving openings or touching load-bearing structure needs a licensed contractor and permits — don't use this category for that.
