Free Painter Quote Template

Painters quote because the preparation work on a poorly maintained surface can cost as much as the painting itself. A clear quote separates preparation, materials, and finish coats so the client understands why two rooms that look similar can cost very different amounts.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a painter charge per room?

Interior room painting in Europe costs €400 to €900 per average room including labour and paint. Rooms with high ceilings, intricate woodwork, or significant surface damage cost more. A full house interior repaint (5 to 6 rooms) typically runs €3,500 to €7,000 depending on size and condition.

Should the quote specify the paint brand and product?

Yes. Dulux, Farrow & Ball, Little Greene, and trade paints carry very different price points. Specify the brand, product range, and sheen level (matt, eggshell, satin) in the quote. This prevents clients asking why the finish looks different from what they expected, and stops competitors undercutting with cheaper paint.

How do painters handle preparation work in a quote?

Quote preparation as a separate line item: filling holes, sanding, priming bare plaster, and masking. Clients sometimes ask for prep to be removed to reduce the quote, then complain about the finish. Make clear that skipping preparation work affects the final result and adjust the quote accordingly.
