We recommend purchasing at least 10% extra product to allow for errors, damages or obstacles.

Whether it’s a feature wall or a full transformation, we’ve got you - and your walls - covered.

Disclaimer: The paint calculator works on a paint coverage of 10m2 per litre. Due to potential variations between paint brands, this tool should be used as a guide.

How to use the Homebase Paint Calculator

  1.  Measure the area of the walls and ceilings you want to paint. These measurements should include the dimensions you wish to exclude e.g. doors, windows and electrical sockets.
  2.  Enter your measurements (0.00).
  3. For a professional-looking finish, we recommend applying 2 coats of paint and including an extra 10% coverage for any touch-ups.
