All MrFix rates are fair and transparent. MrFix has negotiated fixed rates with our partner painters: €55 per hour including VAT (9% only) for jobs that take less than a day.
For jobs that take more than one day we recommend that you request a quote (fixed price), not only for maximum certainty but also because most painters offer a discount (often 10-20%) for bigger jobs. Either way, MrFix does not allow contractors to levy a call-out charge.
If you give sufficient information (e.g. via the WhatsApp group that MrFix creates for you) you may get an estimate or even a quote without the usual inspection visit: that would save you time and money. Now you may not need a painter again for several years, but the painter works with MrFix again next week. That means he will quote you a competitive price and do the job in the best possible way!
Low VAT rate on exterior house paintwork
Did you know that the Dutch tax authority helps keep exterior house painting affordable by applying the reduced VAT rate of 9% (instead of 21%)? See the rules, unfortunately in Dutch only. The paint jobs that MrFix arranges are often substantial, so your tax saving is substantial too! Please note: the low VAT rate only applies to homes older than 2 years and applies to both labour and materials.
Exterior house painting: brighten and protect your home on the outside
The Dutch weather gives you a lot of rain during winter but fortunately also a lot of sunshine in summer. But both types of weather are no good for the paint on the outside of your house. Regular painting is needed to protect the wood from decaying. When you wait too long costs of repair can be high.
For proper maintenance the exterior woodwork of your house should be painted every 5 years. Do you want a new look of the exterior of your house? The wide range of colours make it hard to choose the best, and a mistake can cost a lot of money and time to correct. Quality exterior house paint jobs that last for many, many years require professionalism and experience. Our specialist chooses the painting method and kinds of paint that fit the surface type and usage best.

How to request exterior house painting:
- Select the “JOB TYPE” and summarise the job under “JOB SUMMARY”
- You can add 1 or 2 photos from your PC, tablet or smartphone. This is not required but can be helpful!
- Make your “DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF JOB” as precise as possible: please specify colours, measures, obstructions or other limitations.
- Choose if you prefer “An expert ASAP” or “First a quote”. If you choose “First a quote” then we will provide the expert’s estimate except if the job is bigger than ~€500 / 1 day of work. In the latter case we quote his fixed price, usually after a (paid) inspection visit.
