Painting & Decorating Prices in Duns.

Each job gets one fixed written quote based on what your rooms actually need. Send a few photos on WhatsApp and you'll usually have your fixed Duns quote the same day.
What sets decorating prices in Duns.
The Duns homes we quote most range from tidy rentals that just need a refresh to characterful houses across Scotland where the walls have stories to tell. That spread is exactly why a photo-based quote beats a price list — it prices your rooms, not an average.
Size and surfaces
Total area drives the base, but the fiddly bits drive the hours — cutting in around coving, spindles and window bars is where a job's time really goes.
Surface condition
Sound walls need little more than a wash and fill; walls with blown plaster, peeling paint or stubborn paper need real prep first — and that prep is what separates an honest quote from a cheap one.
Paint and spec
The finish you choose shifts the number: a straightforward emulsion refresh costs less than a bold colour change (which needs more coats) or a specialist wipeable paint for a busy kitchen or bathroom.
Access and protection
Tall stairwells, occupied rooms, furniture to move, floors to protect, parking and permits — the practical side of the job that careful decorators plan and cowboys ignore.

Decorating prices in Duns — FAQs.
Can you match another decorator's quote for my Duns job?
We won't play race-to-the-bottom, but we'll gladly show you line by line what our Duns quote includes — prep, coats and materials — so you can see whether a cheaper number is really like for like.
Do you charge for quotes in Duns?
No. Quotes are free and no-obligation, and for most Duns jobs we can price accurately from photos without a site visit.
Why don't you publish a price list for Duns?
Because surface condition and spec change the price more than room size does. A list either overcharges easy jobs or undercharges hard ones — a fixed quote from photos is fairer both ways.
How soon can you start once I accept the quote?
Single rooms in Duns can often begin within the week; whole-property jobs are typically booked one to three weeks ahead. Your quote comes with realistic dates, not empty promises.
