Project Planning Tools
Plan Your Project
With Confidence.
Four focused tools to estimate quantity, cost and materials before you buy — built around your actual project details, not guesswork.
How It Works
Three Steps To A Real Estimate
Tell us about the space
Pick your surface and project type, then enter dimensions or a known area — in feet or metres.
We do the maths
Coats, wastage buffer and coverage are applied, then pack sizes are optimised to minimise leftover.

Every estimate shows exactly which figures went into it — no hidden assumptions.
Common Questions
How accurate are these estimates?▾
They're indicative planning figures, not a quotation. Real consumption varies with surface porosity, texture, application method, the number of coats actually needed and site conditions. Use these to budget and plan — then confirm exact quantities with our team before you buy.
Where do the coverage and rate figures come from?▾
They are generic, industry-standard reference values used as sensible defaults. They are not confirmed Colorsome technical or pricing data — anywhere an estimate rests on one of these figures, we label it 'indicative' in the 'How was this calculated?' breakdown.
Why does the calculator suggest more paint than I need?▾
Two reasons. A 10% wastage buffer is added, which is standard trade practice to cover roller absorption, spills and touch-ups. Then quantities are rounded up to real purchasable pack sizes — you can't buy 17.4 litres, so the tool finds the combination that gets you there with the least leftover.
Do the cost estimates include labour?▾
The Painting Cost calculator includes an optional labour line you can toggle on or off. The Paint Quantity, Waterproofing and Product Requirement calculators estimate material only.
Can I use metric units?▾
Yes. Every calculator has a unit toggle — dimensions in feet or metres, areas in square feet or square metres. Conversion happens automatically and the underlying maths is unaffected.
