Painter in Stockholm – what does painting involve and what work can you commission

The scope of work can vary greatly – from minor touch-ups to large, comprehensive projects. As part of the services offered by painting companies in Stockholm, you can benefit from, among other things:

painting walls and ceilings
wallpapering and removing old wallpaper
filling and surface preparation
painting doors, windows and skirting boards
painting of façades, roofs and external features
painting wooden and metal structures
spray painting
advice on colours and finishes

Our painting services range from a quick interior refresh to more complex finishing work requiring careful planning.

A very important stage of every project is surface preparation. This includes, amongst other things, cleaning the surface, removing old coatings, filling and priming. Well-executed preparatory work ensures that the paint adheres better and that the walls look smooth and attractive for a long time.

Why you should hire a professional painter in Stockholm

The decision to paint yourself may seem like a good way to save money. However, in reality, it often leads to additional costs, touch-ups and frustration. An experienced painter in Stockholm is a specialist who knows how to achieve a durable and attractive finish in a variety of conditions thanks to their technical expertise.

Painting services take into account factors such as humidity, the type of surface and existing coatings. Different approaches are used in the bathroom than in the living room. If you’re feeling daring and fancy painting the façade yourself, bear in mind that skipping certain steps and various oversights could mean you’ll have to repaint after just one season.

Improper filling, failure to apply a primer, or inadequate cleaning of the walls can cause the paint to start flaking, or lead to blisters, discolouration or unevenness. In such cases, repainting is necessary. This generates additional costs and prolongs the entire process.

Another aspect is the time taken. Someone without the necessary experience often needs several days to complete the work, whereas a professional painter will finish it much faster and in a more organised manner. What’s more, a professional is able to respond to unforeseen problems – such as cracks in the walls, signs of damp or unevenness – and resolve them as they arise.

Although the painting trade in Sweden is not formally regulated, it is worth choosing reputable contractors with experience who work in accordance with building standards.

What affects the final result of the paint job – not just the painter’s work

One of the most important elements of the entire process is proper surface preparation. Levelling walls, filling in gaps, removing old layers or applying the right primer have a direct impact on how the paint behaves once applied. A good painter in Stockholm knows that the final result begins long before the first coat of paint is applied.

Equally important is the selection of the right products. Acrylic and latex paints are most commonly used for interiors, as they provide good coverage and are easy to maintain. In rooms exposed to moisture, such as kitchens or bathrooms, paints with increased resistance to dirt and water are used. If you choose a paint with high abrasion resistance (e.g. Class 1 according to EN 13300), you can remove dirt repeatedly without damaging the coating. This will extend the time between repainting.

For exterior work, key parameters include weather and UV resistance, vapour permeability, and resistance to dirt and algae growth. Good exterior paints, such as silicone-based ones, have self-cleaning properties. Rain washes away dirt. Choosing a premium-quality paint better protects the building and delays the need for the next renovation.

Cheaper products often require more coats, provide poorer coverage and wear out faster. Better paints ensure an even finish, deeper colour and longer life. In the long run, this translates into real savings and extends the time until the next repainting of the flat.

Painting furniture, doors and window frames requires matching the materials to the substrate – wood, MDF, chipboard or metal. The same applies to wallpapering. Different types of wallpaper require different techniques and surface preparation, and mistakes at this stage are visible later on.

It is also worth considering the environmental aspect. Modern low-VOC paints are safer for health and the environment. At the same time, they maintain very good performance characteristics.

It is a good idea to follow the contractor’s recommendations. A painter who works with various products on a daily basis knows which solutions work best in specific conditions and deliver a long-lasting result.

Painting with Fixare24 – how it works

Booking a painting job in Stockholm with Fixare24 is simple, straightforward and tailored to your needs.

The first step is to submit an enquiry via the contact form, where you can describe the scope of the work. The more details you provide – such as the floor area or type of surface – the easier it will be to find the right contractor. We then review your enquiry and match you with a painter in Stockholm who best suits the specific requirements of your project. Whether your job is in central Stockholm or you need a painter in Solna, Sollentuna, Nacka or another area, the process is the same. You can also send us an enquiry for a painter in Gothenburg. Our contractors work there too. We will contact you to discuss the options.

The next step is direct contact with the contractor. This is when you can discuss the project details, solutions, materials and agree on the cost. For larger jobs, a site visit is standard practice, allowing us to accurately assess the condition of the surface and prepare a precise quote.

Once all the terms have been agreed, the work begins. Depending on the scope of work, this may involve both quick tasks and more extensive stages requiring proper preparation and planning. Fixare24 streamlines the entire process and helps you avoid the chaotic search for a contractor and the need to compare numerous quotes from different painting companies in Stockholm. This means less stress and a saving of time for you.

In practice, the work usually involves protecting the interior, preparing the surface and applying the appropriate coats of paint in accordance with the technology and specific characteristics of the substrate. In most cases, two coats of paint are applied. However, the number of coats may vary depending on the colour, type of surface and quality of the material used. It is also crucial to allow sufficient drying time between coats. Applying the next coat before the previous one has dried can reduce adhesion and affect the final result.

How to prepare for painting to ensure the work runs smoothly and without additional costs

Proper preparation of the room before starting the painting work has a significant impact not only on the comfort of the work, but also on the completion time and the final cost of the service. In practice, the scope of preparation can vary – from a completely ready interior to a space requiring full organisation.

When painting interiors, it is worth taking care of a few basic issues to streamline the process:

deciding on colours and the scope of work in advance
removing pictures, shelves and decorations
ensuring unobstructed access to the surfaces to be painted
protecting floors and items that are not to be painted
removing or moving furniture away from the walls

If the room is not prepared, the contractor can usually take care of this on site, but you should bear in mind that this will extend the duration of the work and affect the final cost. This applies particularly to situations where it is necessary to move heavy furniture, dismantle fixtures or provide additional protection for surfaces.

For larger projects, the preparations are often discussed as early as the quotation stage or during the site visit. This allows you to agree with the contractor which tasks you will carry out yourself and which will be included in the scope of the service. This approach enables you to plan the entire process more effectively and avoid misunderstandings. Once the painting work is complete, it is also worth considering professional post-renovation cleaning, especially if the scope of work was extensive. This ensures the interior is immediately ready for use.

For other services, such as painting windows, doors or wallpapering, it is also worth ensuring proper preparation. The most common tasks include removing net curtains and drapes, exposing window frames, emptying furniture to be painted, and protecting items that will not be part of the work. When painting a façade, however, it is essential to ensure access to the external walls and to remove any obstacles around the building.

FAQ – frequently asked questions about painting in Stockholm

How long does it take to paint a flat?

The completion time depends on the size and scope of the work. Painting a single room usually takes 1–2 days, whilst an entire flat may take from a few days up to 1–2 weeks. The condition of the surfaces and the scope of preparatory work have a significant impact.

Do I need to prepare the flat, house or premises myself?

How much does painting cost in Stockholm and what determines the price

The figures given are indicative. They assume a standard scope of work and cover labour costs excluding materials. Even with similar surface areas, differences in wall condition, surface type and the scope of preparatory work can significantly affect the final amount. Therefore, companies usually prepare an individual quote following a site visit. The cost of painting services is often quoted per square metre. This allows for a quicker estimate of the budget for the entire project.

The price of painting in Stockholm naturally varies significantly depending on the scope of work and the specifics of the project. Many people type the question “how much does it cost to paint a flat” into a search engine, but the answer is not straightforward – the price of painting always depends on several key factors.

The most important of these are:

the size of the area – for larger projects, the price per m² is usually lower
the type of work (interior, exterior, wallpapering)
condition of the walls and the scope of preparatory work
the quality of materials used
the complexity of the job

In practice, surface preparation has the greatest impact on the cost. If the walls require filling, levelling or removing old coatings, the price can increase by as much as several dozen per cent. Conversely, the cost of painting a new flat in Stockholm, where the developer has properly prepared the walls and ceilings, will be significantly lower.

In Sweden, you can take advantage of the ROT tax relief, which covers renovation and finishing work, including painting. Thanks to this, you can reduce labour costs by up to 30%. Skatteverket sets out the detailed conditions for the deduction.

Interesting fact: The famous ‘Swedish red’ has royal roots

The distinctive red colour of Swedish houses, known as ‘Falu rödfärg’, dates back to the 17th century. The paint was produced from waste left over from copper mining in the Falun mine and was initially used mainly on buildings belonging to wealthier owners.

Over time, the colour became so popular that it came into widespread use – including by less affluent households. Interestingly, it was inspired by the appearance of brick, which at that time was a symbol of prestige and was associated with royal and urban architecture.
