I would definitely recommend Phi and the Newline Painting team to anyone looking to refresh or transform their space with a beautiful new coat of paint.
The whole process was excellent. From first contact, to quote, to price, to organising a date and time, and the paint job. You can tell these guys care about their work and their customers. Will definitely use again!
They are quality tradesmen, very respectful of our space and left it in great condition at the end of each work day. Great attention to detail.
Each of the team were extremely pleasant to deal with, easy communication including Roi at head office.
Exceptional!
Affordable, very good customer service and the final product was really good

Painting a house in Brighton East typically costs between A$4,000 and A$20,000 or more, depending on the size and condition of the home. As a per-square-metre guide, standard interior work runs about A$20 to A$30, detailed work with heavy trim rises to A$60 to A$100, and exterior repainting sits around A$15 to A$60. Brighton East tends toward the upper end, because the period homes here carry more trim, taller walls and more preparation than a modern build. Four things do most of the work on your quote, and our painting cost guide works through three examples in detail.
Surface area & number of coats
Two Brighton East quotes are rarely the same number. An original interwar brick home on a full-sized block and the rendered rebuild going up next door are priced on completely different work. Three drivers decide the figure, and our painting cost calculator turns them into a ballpark before anyone visits.
Prep work required
Scale comes first. Brighton East blocks are generous, and the houses on them grew with their families. A double-fronted interwar home off Hawthorn Road, with its high ceilings and hard-plaster walls, simply holds more paint than a compact postwar veneer, and a whole-house interior repaint after an extension is a larger undertaking than freshening two bedrooms. We measure the actual rooms and elevations, and the quote itemises them.
Paint product specified
Condition decides the labour. Most of Brighton East’s bungalows and brick homes predate 1970, which brings lead-safe protocols into play alongside re-puttied timber sashes, hairline cracks chased out of roughcast render and chalked weatherboard sealed properly, because this close to the bay a salty southerly finds any coating that’s already failing. Preparation regularly outweighs the painting itself on an older exterior repaint, and it is what the 7-year warranty stands on.
Access & height
Which tin you choose moves the quote: Dulux Wash & Wear sits below Haymes Ultra-Premium, and for render and weatherboard that cops afternoon sun and the occasional salty southerly this close to the bay, we specify Wattyl Solagard. What your quote names is what we apply to your walls, never a substitution.
A worked example for a Brighton East home
Rate bands are only useful once you put them against a real house. Take a postwar family home in Brighton East, wide eaves, timber trim and several elevations.
of paintable exterior surface, which is the number that actually drives the quote, not the floor area.
per square metre for exterior work, depending on substrate and access.
indicative range for that house across two coats, before prep condition and access are assessed.
That is a planning figure, not a quote. Preparation condition, colour change, ceiling height and access move it, which is why we measure on site and give you one itemised written price rather than a rate.

What we know about painting in Brighton East
Lighter heritage overlays than the inner east, but check first
Bayside carries heritage overlays on some of Brighton East’s interwar precincts, though far fewer than councils like Stonnington. Most exteriors can take a new colour scheme with no permit at all; if your home is contributory within an overlay, a colour change may need Bayside City Council sign-off first. We check the overlay position with you before quoting a new scheme, so nothing stalls mid-job.
Lead-safe work on pre-1970 Brighton East homes
Brighton East’s Californian bungalows, interwar brick homes and postwar family houses nearly always hide lead-based paint beneath their later coats. Any pre-1970 surface gets the lead-safe treatment until testing clears it: contained wet-sanding, drop-sheet capture, HEPA clean-up and correct disposal, never dry-sanding that sends lead dust across a backyard where kids play.
Near the bay, not on it: exposure priced honestly
Brighton East sits a couple of kilometres back from the beach, so we won’t sell you a marine-grade system your house doesn’t need. What’s real here: salty southerlies that occasionally reach render and weatherboard, hard afternoon UV on north- and west-facing elevations, and winter mould on shaded south walls. Each face of the house gets its own answer: a UV-stable system on the sun-struck elevations, mould-resistant paint on the ones the sun never reaches.
Extensions, rebuilds and blending new with old
Brighton East’s big blocks are being extended and rebuilt street by street, with rear additions behind interwar frontages, and full knockdown-rebuilds in crisp render. The craft is making the join disappear: matching new plasterboard to original hard plaster, tying an extension’s trim into ninety-year-old profiles, and painting new render so it still looks right beside face brick. We schedule around builders and hand back one coherent house, not two eras in one paint job.

Rated 4.8 by our customers
