"This depends on a number of factors, including budget, how much time you have and how good your DIY skills are. However, Paul Kerr, Building specialist at points out a few of the pluses, "Pre-painted skirting boards can be worth the extra cost if you want your room to be as professionally finished as possible. These boards are pre-sanded, shaped, coloured and quite easy to place down.""
"And, they have another added bonus, continues Kerr, "If you're hiring trades to add them, it cuts down on labour time." He adds, "It also reduces the need to buy paint, brushes, etc., so it can be almost at the same price point if these tools need to be purchased for the job as well." The cost of pre-painted skirting board can be prohibitive, with boards typically costing 20-25% more than bare skirting board."
Skirting boards significantly affect a room's appearance, and replacing them can be messy and time-consuming. Pre-painted skirting boards come primed, sanded, shaped and painted, allowing straightforward installation that saves time and reduces labour costs when hiring trades. Pre-painted options eliminate the need to buy paint and tools, potentially offsetting higher unit prices. Typical prices run about 20–25% higher than bare boards, and pre-painted boards may restrict exact colour tones and customization. Value depends on budget, available time and DIY skill level; pre-painted boards offer a quicker, more professional finish at a premium.
