The cost for painting skirting boards averages between €6 and €12 per meter, depending on the length, condition, and type of paint used. At Zoofy, we work with an hourly rate starting at €55, based on average professional painter rates. There are no call-out fees, so you know the price upfront.

How long does it take to paint skirting boards?

On average, a painter can paint 10 to 15 meters of skirting boards per hour, including light preparation. Damaged skirting boards or multiple coats may take longer. For a 25 m² room, the job is often completed in half a day, depending on drying times between coats.

What does the painter do when painting skirting boards?

• Preparation: Masking floors and walls, cleaning the skirting boards.
• Repairs: Filling small cracks and holes.
• Sanding: Light sanding for better adhesion.
• Primer: Applying a bonding primer if needed.
• Painting: Applying 1–2 coats, depending on coverage.
• Finishing: Removing masking tape and leaving the area clean.

How do I know I’m getting a good and reliable painter?

How does contact work after the job for maintenance and warranty?

After completion, Zoofy remains your point of contact. Warranty via the painter is legally required. For extra peace of mind, you can opt for Zoofy’s optional paid warranty package. For maintenance advice, you can always reach out again.

You always pay via Zoofy. You can pay immediately after completion via the QR code or later via the invoice sent to your email. Never pay the painter directly in cash or by card.
