"I guess it depends on how much of a repair and the length of the fence that needs painting.

To paint a 15 x 15 x 9 mtr fence is averaged at 1 day 1/2 to 2 whole days as a rough guide."

"That's impossible to say with such little information. The damage could be anything from a few broken boards to fence posts rotting underground. Much more information is needed."

"This question cannot be answered in its current form as there is no reference made to the material the fence is made from and how it is to be repaired and more importantly the size of the fence"

"Hello 👋
It depends on the length of the fence and what kind of repair needs to be done. If it’s concrete it can take longer to fix."
