Approximate costs of re-painting a 3 bed

Gigglepig

I have not paid for DIY before and wonder approximately how much to budget for (good quality) paint & the supplies needed to paint a 3 bed property internally?

At least 2 of the rooms currently have wallpaper, so after that has come off I assume the walls will first need a base treatment.

Also, roughly how many hours of work would should I expect that it will take to get it all done? (I will get help from a kind relative but want to make sure I compensate them)

Thanks!

Hi Giggle pig

i have no idea on costs for professionals but in the past couple of months i have repainted lounge, kitchen, master bedroom, bathroom and W.C supplies costed approx £200 ... but i did the work myself :-) this included emulsions, gloss, sandpaper, brushes, paint trays, masking tapes, filler, scissors etc etc

hope it helps im new to this today so if its not the kind of info you were looking for i apologise :-)

Thank you, that was just the sort of info I am looking for, so I can budget for supplies. Roughly how long did it take you to do it all yourself?

I've just had a 3 bed house decorated, excluding kitchen, and paint cost £400 - mostly Dulux colours, but some Crown and Rose. It took my decorator and his assistant 2 weeks, working on weekends as well and doing long days, but it is an old house so there was loads of prep and making good.
