Average Painting Costs in Worcester

If you’re thinking about freshening up your home, one of the first things that comes to mind is “what’s it going to cost me?” The truth is, prices can vary depending on the size of your house, the prep work needed, and the type of finish you want — but here’s a clear idea of what to expect.

Average Painting Costs in Worcester

• Single room: £250 – £450
• 3-bed semi-detached house (interior): £2,000 – £3,000
• Exterior of a 3-bed house: £1,800 – £3,200

These are typical ranges we see across Worcester. Your exact cost will depend on things like wall condition, paint quality, and whether we’re painting ceilings, woodwork, or just the walls

What Affects the Price?

• Size of the space – bigger rooms take more paint and more time.
• Prep work – filling, sanding, repairs before painting.
• Paint quality – standard trade paint vs premium finishes.
• Number of coats – darker colours often need more coverage.
• Interior vs exterior – exteriors need more prep and weatherproofing.

DIY vs Hiring a Professional

Yes, painting yourself is cheaper — but it takes time, tools, and patience. A pro decorator gets it done faster, with a smoother finish, and usually with less waste. Many of our customers start DIY and then call us when they realise how long it’s taking!

How Long Does It Take?

• One room: 1–2 days
• Whole house (3-bed): 1–2 weeks
• Exterior painting: 1–2 weeks (weather permitting)

Common Questions We Hear

Do I need to buy the paint?

Not unless you want to. Most customers prefer us to supply trade-quality paint at better prices.

When’s the best time to paint?

Interiors can be painted all year round. Exteriors are best done spring to early autumn when the weather is kinder.

Can I stay in the house while you paint?

Yes — most people do. We’ll work around you and keep disruption to a minimum.
