What we repaint inside your home

We repaint walls, ceilings, doors, skirtings, architraves and window frames, in a whole house or one room at a time. Plenty of owners do the living areas and hallway first and the bedrooms next year. Our written quote lists walls, ceilings, trims and doors separately, so you can add or drop rooms.

Older homes take the most time. Ceiling roses, cornices, picture rails, panel doors and layers of old paint slow the filling and sanding. We repainted an original plaster ceiling rose on Elm Street in Flemington and a hallway with a plaster arch on Laha Crescent in Preston. Any paint laid before 1970 is treated as lead-safe work.

Where we paint interiors

We paint apartments in South Yarra and period houses through the inner and eastern suburbs, and we take on interior work in selected regional Victorian centres including Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo, Shepparton and Mildura. Check the full list of areas we service or call 1300 044 206 if your suburb isn’t there.

Apartments have their own checks: building access, lift and lobby protection and owners corporation requirements. See our apartment painting service. If you’re selling, pre-sale painting puts the spend into the entry and living areas buyers look at first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I stay at home while you paint?

Yes, many owners do. Tell us at the quote and we plan it room by room: furniture moved and covered as we go, floors and fittings masked, dust kept down, and split scheduling so the rooms you need stay usable overnight. An occupied home takes longer than an empty one, and the quote allows for that. Low odour, low VOC paint systems are available for bedrooms and living areas.

What do I need to do before you start?

Very little. We cover floors and furniture, mask what stays in the room, then wash, scrape, fill, sand and spot-prime before any colour goes on. It helps if you take out valuables, ornaments and artwork, and tell us at the quote which rooms need furniture moved.

What paint and sheen do you use on walls and trims?

On walls, usually an acrylic in low sheen or washable matte. Low sheen is forgiving of small flaws. Doors, skirtings and window frames get a tougher enamel, and higher sheens show every missed sanding mark, so the prep on those surfaces is finer. Where there is water damage or nicotine bleed, a stain-blocking primer goes on first.

How many coats will my walls get?

We quote a two-coat system. A big colour change, especially to or from a dark colour, takes more care to get an even finish, so tell us the old and new colours. White over sound white is the quickest repaint. Our coats advisor tells you whether your surface needs a primer.

How long does an interior repaint take?

A bedroom takes us about 5.5 hours, covering walls, ceiling, trim, clean-up and touch-ups. A three-bedroom house can take up to 4 days with a team of three painters. Heavy prep, ornate period detail and an occupied home all add time. We confirm your start date in writing before we begin.

Can you paint ceilings, cornices and period features?

Yes. Ceiling roses, cornices, picture rails, arches and pressed ceilings are a regular part of our interior work. That includes a pressed ceiling on Maysia Street in Canterbury and a ceiling rose and leadlight on Prospect Hill Road in Camberwell. They take longer to fill, sand and cut in than flat walls, and any paint laid before 1970 is treated as lead-safe work.

Do you clean up, and is the work guaranteed?

Yes to both. We clean up dust and paint and take away paint cans and rubbish, and our house cleaning partners give the home a deep clean after an interior job. The workmanship carries a 7-year warranty: if paint failure appears, we fix it at no cost. We also carry $20M public liability insurance.

How much does interior painting cost?

It depends on the area, the condition of the walls and how much ceiling, trim and repair work is in scope, so we price it after looking at the rooms. Labour and preparation make up most of an interior quote. For a first number, use the instant quote, which takes about two minutes. Our interior painting cost guide shows what a quote should list.

What goes on our written interior quote

Our quote lists the surfaces we are painting, the preparation for each, the number of coats, the paint system and the protection for floors, furniture and cabinetry. Walls, ceilings, trims and doors are separate lines, and repairs to cracks, dents or failed paint are named. We inspect on site first, because photos hide hairline cracks, water stains, chalky old coatings and how much woodwork there is.

If you have several quotes, read them line by line. A quote that says “paint walls” and one that lists walls, ceilings, woodwork, patching and clean-up are pricing different jobs. Our interior painting cost guide shows how to compare them.

What moves the price of an interior repaint

Condition moves the price more than floor area. A water-damaged ceiling needs scraping, sealing and recoating. Settled plaster cracks have to be filled and sanded or they come back. Peeling coatings need their edges sanded back, and mould in a bathroom or laundry is treated before anything cosmetic goes on.

After condition, price follows hours: ornate cornices and panel doors, tight lift bookings and building rules in apartments, and furniture shifted room by room in an occupied home. The paint itself is the cheap part. To size a job yourself, measure with our paintable area calculator and then try the painting cost calculator.

How we prep before the first coat

Prep takes most of the hours. We wash down, scrape loose material, fill gaps, patch plaster, sand, caulk, spot-prime and mask, then paint. Anything skipped shows through the topcoat, and the better the paint, the more clearly it shows. Enamel on doors and skirtings is the least forgiving, so the sanding there has to be finer than on the walls. On an older Edwardian or Federation house, prep can take longer than the painting.

Which paints we use inside your home

We use Dulux, Haymes, Taubmans and Wattyl, and the quote names the product for each surface. Low odour, low VOC systems are available for bedrooms and living areas. Where a surface calls for it we apply protective coating paint, mould-resistant paint or custom wood paint. If you suspect damp, check the room first with our mould risk checker, because mould has to be treated before it is painted over.

Choosing colours

A colour consultation comes free with every quote. We take you through palettes on site and help you pick a colour that suits the room and the light. On Bangalore Street in Kensington we repainted an open-plan kitchen and dining room in warm white. Sheen changes how a colour reads, and in strong afternoon light a higher sheen shows every roller line and patched wall, so decide sheen and colour together.

Other interior surfaces we paint

Inside the house we also paint brick, concrete, gyprock, wood, wallboard and metal. On Bank Street in South Melbourne we repainted a timber staircase and balustrade and left the handrail in natural timber. Kitchen and bathroom cabinets are resprayed in place under cabinet painting, and one-wall accents, including Venetian plaster, sit under feature wall painting.
