I'd say the very cheapest new one from Screwfix, etc, would look a

It soon would. Would take about a million times longer too, hence the
temptation.


I've told you a million times not to exagerate.


I never ever ever exaggerate


20mins for a switch? Maybe
the odd ping****it to screw things up but a more pleasing solution


Travel to screwstation, get it, return, power off, fit it. Versus about
30 seconds with a paintbrush. That's why they often get overpainted.
Then when the paint wears off it looks even worse.


Then you buy the new switch at the same time as you buy your decorating
materials. Simples.
