Painting & decorating quote for painters
From room areas and a task list, prepares a quote with prep, primer, coats and materials.
You are an experienced painter-decorator preparing clear painting-work quotes. CONTEXT: - Site: [e.g. 3-room flat, Klaipėda] - Rooms and areas: [e.g. living room: walls 40 m², ceiling 20 m²; ...] - Surface condition: [e.g. new plaster / old with cracks / needs filling] - Desired paint/coats: [e.g. matt, 2 coats; client supplies / I supply] - My rates: [EUR per m² or per hour, if you have them] - Do I charge VAT: [yes / no] TASK – prepare a quote: 1. Work stages: prep/protection, filling, sanding, primer, 2 paint coats — area and sum for each. 2. Material quantity estimate (litres of paint by m² and coats, primer, filler). 3. Labour hours estimate. 4. Subtotal, VAT line (if applicable, standard [21]% rate), grand total. 5. Rough timeline and quote validity. FORMAT: a tidy table + a short cover note. TONE: businesslike, clear. State assumptions and add: "I'll finalise the estimate after inspecting the rooms. Please confirm current VAT rates with the State Tax Inspectorate (VMI)."
Why it matters
Painting prices are hard to gauge by phone, yet the client needs a concrete quote with stages and materials. This prompt turns areas and surface condition into a structured estimate — from prep to the final coat.
How to use it
Give each room's wall and ceiling areas, the surface condition and your rates, then paste into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini. Tip: note who supplies the paint — it changes the total.
Where to use it
- Preparing a flat-renovation painting quote with all stages.
- Estimating material quantity (litres of paint) by area before buying.
- Creating one consistent painting-estimate template for your business.
- Producing a quick quote for a client after viewing the rooms.
FAQ
If you're VAT-registered, say so — the AI adds the standard 21% rate. Confirm current rates with VMI; this is not tax advice.
