What Toorak homeowners say
Pulled live from our Google Business Profile, so this updates as new reviews come in.
They specialise in high-quality finishes, and their attention to detail really shows in the final result. The team is professional, reliable and takes the time to make sure every project is completed to the client’s satisfaction.
As a designer, I know how important the finishing touches are, and Newline Painting consistently delivers.
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 Toorak 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. Toorak 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
Quotes in Toorak span a wider range than almost anywhere we paint: restoring the render on a St Georges Road estate is a different order of work to refreshing a two-bedroom apartment near the Village. Three factors set your number; if you want a sanity-check on the range first, run your rooms through the painting cost calculator.
Prep work required
Scale drives the quote first. Toorak's grand Victorian and Edwardian homes carry 3.6-metre ceilings, ornate cornices, panelled libraries and staircase voids that multiply the paintable surface well beyond the floor plan, and a full interior repaint across two storeys of decorative plaster is quoted accordingly. A single living room or an apartment refresh sits at the other end of the range.
Paint product specified
Condition is next, and on Toorak's large rendered and masonry exteriors, preparation is most of the job. Hairline cracking in old render, chalked paint on parapets and boundary walls, and lead coatings on the pre-1970 stock all need to be repaired, stabilised and primed before an exterior repaint will hold. Skipping that work is how a finish fails in three years instead of fifteen.
Access & height
Paint grade is the last lever: Haymes Ultra-Premium sits above Dulux Wash & Wear on price, exposed render calls for Dulux Weathershield, and many Toorak clients add venetian plastering for feature walls. The products named on your quote are the products applied. No substitutions.

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 Toorak
Heritage overlays cover Toorak’s mansion precincts
City of Stonnington heritage overlays take in much of Toorak, including the estate streets around St Georges Road, Lansell Road and Irving Road and many individually significant homes. If your home is heritage-listed or contributory and the exterior colour scheme is changing, Stonnington may need to approve it before work starts. We check the overlay against your address and confirm whether a permit is needed as part of quoting.
Lead paint is standard in Toorak’s pre-1970 homes
Toorak’s Victorian and Edwardian houses carry decades of pre-1970 coats, so every older surface is treated as lead until a test says otherwise. Crews wet-sand inside containment, capture residue with drop sheets and HEPA vacuums, and take the waste away for compliant disposal. Dry-sanding has no place on a lead job, so it never happens on ours.
Render, masonry and boundary walls at scale
Toorak exteriors are dominated by large rendered and masonry surfaces: parapets, porticos, long boundary walls and fences. We repair hairline cracking, stabilise chalked render and match the coating system to each elevation, with UV-stable membranes such as Dulux Weathershield on the sun-exposed faces, so the facade ages as one surface rather than one wall failing first.
Designer schedules, renovations and apartment work
Much of our Toorak work is specified by architects, interior designers and heritage colour consultants. We quote to the written schedule, apply the specified premium systems and keep the finish consistent room to room. On major renovations we sequence with builders and other trades, and the apartment buildings around Toorak Village bring owners-corporation approvals and shared access, which we manage end to end.
