Frequently Asked Questions
What paint finish is best for walls?
Matt or eggshell for living areas; washable or scrubbable finishes for hallways and kids' rooms.
How much does wall painting cost in Dublin?
Typically €200–€400 per room (walls only). The exact price depends on access, the extent of the problem and whether parts or materials are needed.
How urgent is wall painting?
Not urgent.
How long does exterior paint last in Dublin?
Around 7–10 years with good preparation and quality masonry paint. Coastal and exposed walls may need recoating sooner.
When is the best time to paint outside?

Can you paint over wallpaper?
It is possible, but seams and bubbles often show through. Stripping is usually the better finish.
