Rough cost ? Painting decorating?

Just wondered what the rough cost would be to repaint a average sized double bedroom, 3 walls. Current paint is blue so not sure if difficult?



Also, stairs seem to be creaking just wondered how much this costed roughly to repair?

Thanks just wondered what I should be looking at before I get a quote.

    if you can book a week off work you could possibly do it all yourself as workmen rates are around 150 quid a day

    Unfortunately not the best DIY'er. So £150 + cost to paint is that all? Or as I painted over paper last time, will it need anything else doing? Walls seem flat, just a matter of sanding or do I need an undercoat?
