Costs and included work
For spray painting walls and ceilings, compare the scope first: substrate, preparation, coating system and number of coats. A price is useful only when supply and finishing work are clearly defined.
| Work / price basis (from) | Starting indication | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| Spraying emulsion paint, one colour | From € 9.99 per m² | Market example including standard materials, excluding VAT. |
Market indications checked on 2 October 2026, not fixed Multi Concurrent tariffs. The stated work and unit apply; the quotation confirms the total, VAT and any additional work.
What affects your total?
Rot or crack repairs, masking, access and colour changes affect preparation. A square-metre rate for a flat wall does not automatically apply to window frames, stairs or exterior work.
What to send with your request
Send surface area, photos of the substrate, interior or exterior location and desired finish. Include your postcode, preferred schedule and the elements that must remain, so the scope can be assessed.
Choose the method for the room
Spraying and rolling have different preparation and detailing requirements. Ask the decorator to explain the proposed approach for occupied rooms, textured surfaces and adjoining finishes.
Prepare and protect
Repairs, cleaning, priming and masking should be specified. Windows, floors, fittings and furniture can make preparation a significant part of the work.
Compare finished results
A spraying rate is not directly comparable with a full decorating quotation unless the scope matches. Confirm materials, colours, protection, cleanup and the expected surface standard.
