cost of painting a 15 square metre room in Yorkshire

I would like to have a 15 square metre room fully painted. I would like the paint to be high-quality and water resistant. I am based in Yorkshire and would like to know what a painter might charge in my area to complete this work as an overall cost. How much would the paint itself be? And how about the hourly charge of the painter?

"Good evening. The price could vary from £200 to £450 per medium room like yours and also the paint between £50 and £100. An qualified painter will charge you around £350 with paint included for this job. Hope it helps you. Good luck."

"Good afternoon
Is very hard to say every painter needs to see it how the wall looks like voids you need sand it down and apply undercoat white mat and then 2 main coats of the colour you chose.
And about prices of painters it depends where is it and is not by hour rate but day rate.
Have a nice day. Dominik P"
