The cost of painting a house depends mainly on its area, the surfaces included, wall condition, furniture, finish and paint. To give you a practical reference, the examples below are calculated using Kover's estimate model.
To give you a practical reference, these examples are calculated using Kover's estimate model with specific project configurations.
| Home type | Configuration | Kover estimate |
|---|---|---|
| 1-bedroom · ~50 m² | Walls, normal condition, empty property, standard finish and paint supplied by Kover. | €1,100 – €1,150 |
| 2-bedroom · ~80 m² | Walls and ceilings, normal condition, empty property, standard finish and paint supplied by Kover. | €2,300 – €2,500 |
| 3-bedroom · ~110 m² | Walls and ceilings, normal condition, empty property, standard finish and paint supplied by Kover. | €3,100 – €3,400 |
Areas and home types are scenario references, not official definitions. Your price can vary with the actual area, surfaces, doors, furniture, finish, colours, wall condition and paint selected.
Calculate an estimate for my homeFloor area and room count help size the work, but they do not tell the whole story. Painting walls, ceilings or selected rooms creates different scopes.
Doors and skirting boards add further elements that should be included in the project details.
Wall condition can require more or less preparation. Furniture, access and protection needs also affect how the work is organised.
Finish, who supplies the paint and changes between colours are other details that can change an estimate.
The number of bedrooms and an approximate usable area help start the estimate, but they do not replace the details of what you want painted.
Two apartments with the same floor area can require different work depending on the surfaces, preparation and items included.
Multiplying floor area by a generic price per m² can be misleading because floor area does not directly represent the paintable surfaces or work required.
Kover collects the relevant project details before showing an initial range rather than publishing an average that may not reflect your project.
Area and rooms, surfaces, wall condition, preparation, access, furniture, doors, skirting boards, paint and finish can all affect an estimate.
They can. Each surface or element adds work to the project scope and should be included so the estimate reflects what you want painted.
No. Project conditions vary, so Kover collects the relevant details before presenting an initial range.
Apartment type helps frame the project, but does not determine the price by itself. Paintable areas, ceilings, doors, skirting boards, preparation and paint can all change the scope of work.
During the estimate, you can indicate whether you would like paint and materials included or prefer to provide them yourself. That choice is considered in the initial estimate.
