Painters & decorators · Southampton

How much does Painters & decorators cost in Southampton? (2026 price guide)

Painting and decorating a single average bedroom typically costs £250-£450 including materials, while a full three-bedroom house, both interior and exterior trim, usually runs £2,500-£5,000. Exterior house painting alone often costs £1,500-£3,500 depending on wall area and access requirements, and a simple ceiling repaint can be as little as £80-£150.

Prices depend mainly on the number and size of rooms, the condition of existing surfaces and how much preparation or filling is needed, the paint quality specified, and whether scaffolding or towers are required for exterior or high-level work. Decorators who are members of trade associations often provide longer guarantees on their finish.

Agreeing a fixed price covering both labour and materials, rather than a day rate, generally gives more predictable costs on multi-room jobs.
