If you want to freshen up the look and feel of a room, then its said there's nothing cheaper (or quicker) than a lick of paint. But how cheap an option is that really? Time you've added brushes or rollers, trays and surface preparation/protection, the cost can soon mount.
Home Improvement Quotes took the basic Dulux Pure Brilliant White Matt Emulsion (5 litre can), and compared a few prices from the major high street retailers websites. Here's what we found:
B&Q - Ordinary 5 litre tin not available, nearest was Dulux Paint Pod System at £19.98. They recommended a coverage of 9-15 sq mtrs per litre.
FocusDIY - £14.99. No coverage recommendation.
Homebase - £13.68. They recommended a coverage figure of 1 litre covers 14 sq mtrs
We'd be interested to hear from you - what prices have you been able to find on the high street recently for a 5 litre tin of brilliant white matt emulsion? Did you find stores 'own-brands' were better value in terms of cost and coverage?
