Painters - what kinda cost?

What sort of figure would I be looking at to get 2 rooms (4.5m x 3.6m each) and the hall/stairs emulsioned?
All have new oak finishings, they have already been oiled so none of the skirtings/architraves etc need doing..
Ceiling/coving & walls. All filling and sanding has been done but a couple of the walls are not in great nick and I don't have time now to do anything about that.
Ball park figures would be great?
I've got too much to do and not enough time so think I need to farm some of the jobs out but not sure if I can afford to, so a rough idea would be helpful.
TIA.

probably be able to do 2 rooms in 2 days , so with paint around £300 - give or take , how big is the hall and stairs , if you live in a mansion then it could take weeks , if you live in a normal house then maybe a couple of days +paint0

Most definitely a normal house, lol. Thank you.

Cost will depend on where you live as much as anytyhing. Painters day rates will be anything from £90 to £150 a day. Take an average of say £120 / day so nickj is about right. Maybe need to allow another day to get the dodgy walls up to spec.Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.0
