House Painters in Bath
Bath Decorators coordinate full interior and exterior repaints as a single managed project.
A full house repaint involves more than two separate jobs running back to back. Sequence matters: interior first, so fresh paint is not exposed to scaffold dust. A whole-house palette needs planning as a system, not room by room in isolation.
Period features like sash windows, cornicing, and staircase walls run through the whole project, not just one floor.
What we cover:
- Full interior repaints: all rooms, ceilings, and woodwork
- Full exterior repaints: masonry, windows, fascias, and front door
- Interior and exterior combined in coordinated sequence
- Single team throughout, one quote, one handover

What’s Included in a Full House Repaint
Thorough Preparation Across All Surfaces
We fill cracks and nail holes, sand back flaking paint, spot-prime bare patches, and stabilise any loose plaster before any finish coat goes on. Bath’s period properties usually need more preparation than modern builds.
We factor this in from the quotation stage — no surprises mid-project.
All Painted Surfaces, Fully Covered
Walls, ceilings, woodwork, skirting boards, architraves, window frames, and doors. Every surface agreed in the quote is completed to the same standard.
Interior and Exterior in Coordinated Sequence
Interior first. Exterior painting second. This protects freshly painted internal surfaces from scaffold dust and weather.
The sequence is planned before we start, not worked out as we go.
Single Project Management
You deal with one point of contact throughout. One quote that covers everything. One final walkthrough at the end where everything is checked together.
How a Full House Repaint Works
1. First Consultation and Walkthrough
We visit the property and walk every room and surface with you. We note ceiling heights, plasterwork condition, any period features needing special attention, and what finish you are after. Colour consultation happens here — we advise on whole-house palettes including Farrow and Ball and Little Greene. No separate charge.
2. Written Quote Covering All Rooms and Surfaces
You get a clear, itemised quote. Every room and surface is agreed in writing before we start. No additions on the day.
3. Sequence Planning
We plan the order of rooms around your daily routine. For occupied properties we typically start at the top of the house and work downwards, completing each floor before moving to the next.
4. Preparation Phase
All filling, sanding, and priming happens before a drop of finish coat goes on. This phase takes longer than most clients expect. It is also the reason a professionally painted room looks different from a DIY job five years later.
5. Painting Phase
Systematic, room by room. Each room is completed, inspected, and signed off before we move to the next. Two or more finish coats on all surfaces, depending on the paint system.
6. Final Inspection and Sign-Off
We walk the full property with you at the end. Anything that does not meet the standard is addressed before we leave.
House Painting Costs in Bath
Prices below are estimates only. Every property is different. Call 01225 234445 for a precise quote.
A full interior repaint for a standard UK home typically falls between £3,000 and £10,000, depending on size, surface condition, and paint choice.
Number of Rooms and Surface Area
More rooms, more ceiling, more woodwork. A four-storey Georgian townhouse is a significantly larger project than a three-bedroom Victorian terrace.
Condition of Existing Surfaces
Period plaster in Bath’s Georgian stock often needs more preparation than smooth modern plasterboard. Deep cornicing has more surface area than flat ceilings.
A room with original features takes longer to prepare and paint than a plain-walled modern room of the same size.
Paint Quality
Standard trade emulsion performs well and carries good guarantees. Farrow and Ball and Little Greene carry a premium but provide period-appropriate depth of colour.
The cost difference across a full house is noticeable but manageable, and the finish justifies it for most Bath properties.
Typical Project Ranges
A 3-bed Victorian terrace full interior repaint typically ranges from £3,500 to £5,500. A combined interior and exterior project for a semi-detached property typically ranges from £5,500 to £9,000.
A full interior and exterior repaint of a four or five-storey Georgian townhouse in Bath typically ranges from £9,000 to £18,000 or more.
