What is the average daily rate for a painter in [Location]?

On average, a painter charges __£325 a day__ in the UK, with exact costs depending on experience, job complexity and location. Read more in our [guide to painting and decorating costs](https://www.checkatrade.com/blog/cost-guides/painter-decorator-prices/).

Do I need to be home while the painter or decorator is working?

Not always. If you’re happy with the quote and scope, many homeowners choose to give access and check in at key stages. Just make sure everything is agreed upfront.

What does a painter and decorator do?

A painter and decorator can completely change how a space feels. But it’s not just about slapping on some emulsion. Whether it’s a full flat refresh or a quick tidy-up, decorators bring a level of care, craft and attention to detail that many of us can't achieve on our own. They can: - Prepare surfaces (fill cracks, sand, strip wallpaper) - Paint walls, ceilings, woodwork and exteriors - Apply specialist finishes or hang wallpaper - Recommend colours, finishes and the best products to use

What’s the difference between a painter and a decorator?

A painter focuses on applying paint to walls, ceilings, and surfaces. A decorator can also handle wallpapering, finishes, and more detailed visual design. Many tradespeople do both.

What should I ask a painter or decorator before hiring them?
