The last variable is how we reach it all. Most Bentleigh houses are single-storey, which keeps costs down, but the double-storey townhouses going up on the old bungalow blocks need trestle or scaffold work, and gable ends over a neighbour’s fence line or a tight side driveway change setup time. We walk the block and price all of it before we start.

What Changes the Price of a Bentleigh Painting Quote
Nobody can quote a Bentleigh repaint off a price list — a 1930s brick veneer, a weatherboard near Patterson station and a brand-new townhouse are three different jobs. These are the three things that actually set your price — and our painting cost calculator can give you a ballpark before anyone visits.
01
Surface area & number of coats
The biggest lever is simply how much house we’re painting. A double-fronted Californian bungalow off Centre Road, with its deep eaves, timber-lined porch and generous rooms, carries more paintable surface than a compact postwar weatherboard — and a full repaint before an auction is a different scope again to freshening two bedrooms. The quote reflects exactly what is being painted.
02
Prep work required
Then comes what the surfaces need before a brush ever touches them. Bentleigh’s interwar and postwar homes are mostly pre-1970, so lead-safe handling is often part of the job, along with re-puttying timber windows, filling settled plaster cracks and sealing chalky old weatherboard. On an older exterior repaint that preparation can be more than half the labour — and it decides whether the finish lasts five years or fifteen.
03
Paint product specified
Paint choice moves the price too: Dulux Wash & Wear sits below Haymes Ultra-Premium, and we specify Wattyl Solagard where a west-facing Bentleigh weatherboard or rendered parapet takes the full afternoon sun. Whatever is written on your quote is what goes on the wall — no switching to a cheaper tin mid-job.

How it works
How to Book Your Bentleigh Painting Service
1. Get a Free Quote for Your Home
Request a free quote online or by phone. We confirm scope, products and price in writing before anything is booked — a fixed figure you can plan around, not an estimate that grows once we're on site.
2. Our Expert Painters Will Transform Your Home
Our trade-qualified painters do the preparation properly — sanding, filling and sealing — then apply premium paints for a smooth, durable finish that suits your Bentleigh home, whether it's an original or a new build.
3. 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed
Before we sign off, we walk every room with you and fix anything on the spot. You approve the finish first, and the written 7-year workmanship warranty then protects it for years afterwards.
What's included
What Every Bentleigh Repaint Includes as Standard
7-Year Warranty
Seven years of written warranty on workmanship — surface preparation, adhesion and finish quality — handed over in writing before a Bentleigh job starts. No fine print to unpick when a question comes up in year five.
$20M Insurance
Twenty million dollars of public liability insurance, documented and current. It protects your home and your neighbour's fence line alike, and it's ready to show a broker, builder or owners corporation before anyone opens a tin.
Reliable Scheduling
Scheduling you can plan a sale around: start dates we commit to and keep, campaign and settlement deadlines built into the run sheet, and seven-day contact so a question about your Bentleigh job reaches a person, not a queue.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Phi, Edward, and the Newline Painting team on one of our projects. From the very start, communication was smooth and professional. Their attention to detail, efficiency, and high-quality work made the entire process seamless. We look forward to collaborating with them again on future projects.

Last week, Newline Painting completed exterior house painting for us, and we couldn't be happier with the results. From the owner, Phi, and manager, Edward, to the three team members, everyone worked together seamlessly to ensure the job was done smoothly. Our house now looks refreshed and vibrant. We highly recommend the Newline Painting team and sincerely thank them for their hard work and exceptional service—it is truly appreciated.

Phi is great to deal with, he was very generous with his time and ran me through the entire painting process and what to expect. Can't recommend him or the Newline team highly enough

From start to finish, from booking to project complete, Newline did an awsome job. Selling a property is stressful enough and they certainly took the worry out of presenting the property in top condition. Not only the painting, but small cracks or a loose piece of skirting was instantly fixed. Couldn't believe it was the same property when they had finished. 6 stars if I could.

Thank you for the great job painting our house in Camberwell for sale before Christmas! Really appreciate the work your team did expertly for our bathroom, living room, bedrooms and the external house walls. Your team was efficient and friendly. We are very happy as it added at least $200,000 to the final house sale price.

I had a great experience with the Newline painting team. They offered a competitive price to repaint the interior of my apartment and were able to accommodate my tight timeline (they started 1 day after the quote was given) and still delivered high-quality work. Communication was smooth and professional from start to finish. I’m really happy with the result and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

All Newline Painting staff, Edward and his team were phenomenal. We needed to wait for another contractor to finish before starting the painting of the front facade of our house and despite a moving timeline, the NP team were quick to respond, courteous and were ready as soon as we were. The painting job is fantastic - the painters' attention to detail, thoroughness and efficiency was second to none. I'm very glad we went with NP as they're solution oriented and easy to work with. We'll definitely be hiring them again soon.

Great communication from Ray, who’s even been following up with my queries in evening and weekend. The job was done quickly from very experienced professionals. There are three people working on the job together to get it done quickly. Would certainly recommend Newline painting to others.

Ed and his team at Newline Painting did an outstanding job on repainting the interior of my home in South Melbourne! They were swift, tidy and professional throughout the entire project —5 stars wouldn’t be enough to rate their work. They weren't the cheapest quote we got but they definitely kept their promise on timeline, professionalism and their quality of work. Keep up the great work, guys! Highly recommend Newline Painting!

Local Know-How
What We Know About Painting in Bentleigh
Bentleigh railway station, Bentleigh · PEPSI697, CC BY-SA 4.0 / Wikimedia
Fewer heritage overlays — but era still rules the job
Glen Eira has notably fewer heritage overlays than neighbouring councils, so most Bentleigh exteriors can be repainted in any scheme without a planning permit. That freedom doesn’t change what the house is: a 1920s Californian bungalow or a 1950s weatherboard still needs era-appropriate preparation and products to look right and last. We paint to the building, not just to the rulebook.
Lead paint is still likely in pre-1970 Bentleigh homes
Most of Bentleigh’s Californian bungalows, interwar brick veneers and postwar weatherboards were painted with lead-based products at some point before 1970. We treat every pre-1970 surface as lead until tested: contained wet-sanding, drop-sheet capture and correct disposal — never the dry-sanding that drifts lead dust through a family home or across the vegie patch.

Inland of the bay — real exposure, honest products
Bentleigh sits a few kilometres inland from Port Phillip, so we don’t sell you marine-grade coatings you don’t need. The real enemies here are afternoon sun on west-facing weatherboard and render, winter damp on shaded southern walls, and seasonal movement in older timber. We match the system to each elevation — UV-stable topcoats where the sun hits hardest, mould-resistant paint where it never does.
Knockdown-rebuilds, townhouses and school-zone repaints
Bentleigh’s blocks are turning over fast — original bungalows becoming townhouse pairs, and renovations chasing the McKinnon Secondary school-zone premium. We paint both ends of that churn: crisp render and plasterboard on new builds and body-corporate townhouse rows, and pre-sale repaints timed to auction campaigns off Centre Road where presentation directly moves the result.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you service Bentleigh?
Yes. Newline Painting services Bentleigh (3204) and the wider City of Glen Eira and bayside suburbs, with recent jobs in Bentleigh East, Highett and Hughesdale. Call 1300 044 206 to confirm availability for your street.
What painting services can I book in Bentleigh?
Interior and exterior house painting, pre-sale repaints, renovation repainting, townhouse and body-corporate work, feature walls, fences, decks and epoxy garage floors.
Do you paint Bentleigh’s older interwar and postwar homes?
Yes. Californian bungalows, interwar brick-veneer homes and postwar weatherboards are the core of Bentleigh’s housing stock. We prepare each for its era — re-puttied timber windows, filled plaster, sealed chalky boards — before any topcoat goes on.
Do you handle lead paint in older Bentleigh houses?
Yes. Most pre-1970 Bentleigh homes carry lead-based paint under later coats. We treat every pre-1970 surface as lead until tested: contained wet-sanding, drop-sheet capture and correct disposal — never dry-sanding that spreads lead dust.
Do I need council approval to repaint my Bentleigh home?
Usually not. Glen Eira has fewer heritage overlays than neighbouring councils, so most Bentleigh exteriors can be repainted in any colour scheme without a permit. If your property does sit in one of the council’s limited overlay areas, we help you check before quoting a colour change.
Can you repaint before an auction or sale in Bentleigh?
Yes. Pre-sale repaints are a large part of our Bentleigh work — the McKinnon school-zone market rewards presentation. We time neutral interior and exterior refreshes to your campaign, photography and settlement dates.
Do you paint new townhouses and body-corporate buildings in Bentleigh?
Yes. We paint new-build render and plasterboard, touch up handover defects and repaint townhouse rows, coordinating access and scheduling with owners corporations and building managers.
Can you help choose colours for a Bentleigh home?
Yes. Free colour consultation is included for eligible projects, with schemes tailored to your home’s era and light — from bungalow heritage tones to crisp modern render palettes.
Do you provide a workmanship guarantee?
Yes. Every Newline job comes with a written 7-year workmanship warranty, plus $20 million public liability insurance with certificates of currency available on request.
