🎨 Paint Calculator
Planning to paint a room? Whether you're refreshing a bedroom, transforming your living space, or giving your kitchen a new look, one of the biggest challenges is knowing exactly how much paint to buy. Buy too little, and you'll be making extra trips to the DIY store — losing time and momentum. Buy too much, and you've wasted money on paint that will sit unused in the shed.
Our Paint Calculator takes the guesswork out of your painting project. Simply enter your room's dimensions, and we'll calculate the exact amount of paint you need — not just for the walls, but for ceilings, woodwork, and doors too. We factor in the number of coats you're planning and include a 10% wastage allowance for those inevitable drips, spills, and cutting-in corrections.
Here's what our calculator covers:
- 🎨 Wall Paint — Calculate paint for all four walls, including windows and doors automatically deducted.
- ☁️ Ceiling Paint — Get the exact amount for your ceiling area.
- 🪵 Woodwork & Doors — Calculate paint for skirting boards, door frames, and doors.
- 📐 Multiple Coats — Choose how many coats you're planning (most rooms need 2).
- 📦 Paint Coverage — Works with standard UK paint coverage (10-12 m² per litre).
Our results are given in litres and cans, so you know exactly what to buy — whether it's a 2.5L tin, 5L tin, or just a 750ml tester pot. Save money, reduce waste, and get your painting project done right the first time.
