In 2026, the prices of painting works in spring range from 8 € to 12 € per square metre including materials and labour. The scope of the project, materials used and region all influence these costs. However, prices can variably increase depending on specific requirements and the type of paint used.
Factors affecting painting work prices in 2026
The price of painting works depends on several factors that can significantly influence the final cost of a project. These factors include the size of the area, the type and quality of paint, the availability of tradespeople, as well as the region in which the construction project is located.
Scope of painting works
The scope of the project is a key factor that will affect the overall costs. Larger areas often reduce the unit price per square metre thanks to more efficient use of materials and labour. Conversely, smaller projects may have a higher rate to cover basic costs.
| Type of painting | Price per m² (2026) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Basic painting | 8 € - 10 € | Price includes white paint |
| Special effects | 11 € - 15 € | Depending on complexity |
| Preparatory works | 3 € - 5 € | Includes sanding, primer coat |
Choice of material
Choosing the right paint is another significant factor. Higher quality paints may be more expensive, but offer longer durability and a better final effect. When selecting materials, you can get inspiration from our materials calculator.
