LOOK LIKE THE DECORATING BUSINESS CUSTOMERS WANT TO HIRE.

A practical painter and decorator workwear setup usually includes branded T-shirts for everyday jobs, polos for smarter customer visits, hoodies or sweatshirts for layering, a softshell for colder or outdoor work and hi-vis where site visibility is required. Using the same logo and branding positions across each garment helps keep the business looking consistent.

The price depends on the garments, quantity and branding positions you choose. Our painter and decorator workwear kits currently start from £76.80 + VAT for 8 garments with a left-breast logo included. Larger orders benefit from quantity-based pricing, and the Workwear Builder calculates the relevant rates as you build your order.

T-shirts are usually the more practical choice for everyday physical work, while polos give a smarter appearance for quotations, servicing appointments and customer-facing visits. Many painters and decorators use T-shirts for day-to-day jobs and keep polos for situations where they want a slightly smarter look.

The left breast is the most common position for a painting and decorating company's logo because it gives the front of the garment a clean, professional look. A large back print can make the business more visible while you're working, while sleeves can be used for appropriate trade accreditation or secondary branding.

Both can work well, but the best option depends on the garment and the look you want. Print is ideal for full-colour logos, detailed artwork and large back branding. Embroidery gives a stitched finish and works particularly well for suitable chest and sleeve logos on polos, hoodies, sweatshirts and outerwear.

Hi-vis is useful for painters and decorators working on construction or commercial sites where increased visibility is required. For most domestic decorating jobs, branded T-shirts, polos, hoodies and sweatshirts provide a professional everyday uniform.

Standard is dependable everyday workwear at a practical price. Premium is the upgraded option when you want a better feel, weight, fit and overall garment finish. You can choose between Standard and Premium depending on the garment and the way your team will use it.
