How pricing works
You get a fixed price for your room in the Jack All Trades app before you book — no site visits, no vague estimates, no hourly meter.
Send a few photos of the room and tell JACK what you want painted — walls only, or ceiling, skirting, and woodwork too. The price reflects the size of the room, the condition of the walls, how much prep is needed, and the decorator or team who takes the job. You will have a fixed price in about two minutes.
Paint is the only thing on top. Most people pick their colour and have the tins ready, which keeps the whole price on the workmanship — or your decorator can collect the paint you choose and bill it at cost.
How it works
Step 1
Show JACK the room
A few photos and a sentence — which room, walls only or the full works, and any problem areas like cracks, stains, or peeling paint.
Step 2
Get a fixed price and pick a slot
See your fixed price in about two minutes and choose a day that suits you — weekends included.
Step 3
Your decorator preps, paints, and tidies
Furniture covered, surfaces prepped, two coats applied with clean lines, and the room left ready to move back into.
What's included when you book a room
One room, done properly — the price covers the whole job, not just the paint on the wall.
- Furniture moved to the centre and covered, floors sheeted
- Proper prep — filling cracks and holes, sanding, and spot-priming stains
- Two full coats on the walls with crisp cutting in at ceilings, corners, and edges
- Ceiling, skirting boards, door frames, and radiators included when you ask for the full room
- A tidy finish — tape off, touch-ups done, and the room put back
Any room, any finish
Bedrooms and living rooms are the most-booked, but a vetted decorator handles the awkward ones too:
- Bedrooms and nurseries — low-odour paints and a finish that stands up to scuffs
- Living rooms and feature walls — bold colour changes with sharp edges
- Hallways, stairs, and landings — the high-traffic walls that show every mark
- Kitchens and bathrooms — moisture-resistant paints that cope with steam
- Home offices — a one-day refresh that looks sharp on camera
- Rental refreshes — landlord-neutral colours before a new tenancy
Before your decorator arrives
A little prep on your side keeps the whole visit on the brush:
- Pick your colour and finish, and have the paint ready if you are supplying it — or ask your decorator to collect your choice.
- Clear small items, shelves, and pictures off the walls; your decorator handles the furniture and covering.
- Point out the problem spots in your photos — damp stains, filler cracks, peeling patches — so the right primer comes along.
- Decide on walls-only or the full room before you book; ceilings and woodwork change the day, not just the price.
- Mention parking and access in the app so kit and dust sheets arrive without a hitch.
Frequently asked questions
Do you paint just one room?
Yes — one room is the classic booking. Doing more than one? List them all in the app and the price covers the lot in one visit or a planned couple of days.
Is prep work included?
Yes. Filling, sanding, spot-priming stains, and covering your furniture and floors are part of the job, not extras.
Where do you cover?
All London boroughs, seven days a week, with weekend slots often available.
How much does it cost to paint a room in London?
It depends on the room size, the condition of the walls, and whether you want walls only or ceilings and woodwork too — which is why JACK gives you a fixed price for your specific room in the app before you book, in about two minutes. No site visit, no waiting for quotes, and the price does not move once you accept it.
How long does it take to paint a room?
Most single rooms are done in a day: prep and first coat in the morning, second coat in the afternoon. Heavy prep, dark-to-light colour changes, or full woodwork can stretch to a second visit — your decorator confirms this before you book.
Do I need to supply the paint?
Either way works. Supplying your own means you pick the exact colour and finish you want and the whole price is workmanship. If you would rather not carry tins home, your decorator collects your chosen paint and bills it at cost.
Walls only, or ceiling and woodwork too?
Your call — say which in the app. Walls-only is the quickest refresh. Adding the ceiling, skirting, and door frames makes the whole room feel newly decorated and is usually worth it if the woodwork has yellowed.
Can you fix cracks, stains, and peeling paint first?
Yes — proper prep is included, not an extra. Cracks and holes are filled and sanded, stains are spot-primed so they do not bleed through, and flaking areas are scraped back before any colour goes on.
Can you match the existing colour?
Yes. Share the brand and shade if you know it, or a photo of the wall and any leftover tin — decorators can colour-match at the trade counter for touch-ups and part-room repaints.
Is the work insured and guaranteed?
Every decorator on Jack All Trades is vetted and insured, and the job is tracked in the app from brief to finish. If anything is not right, flag it in the app chat and it gets sorted.
