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

What Changes the Price of a Brighton Painting Quote
Painting a house in Brighton 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 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
No two Brighton quotes look alike. A rendered contemporary build near the beach and a double-storey Victorian in the heritage streets are entirely different undertakings. Three things move the number more than anything else, and our paint cost calculator will give you a ballpark in minutes.
Prep work required
The first driver is sheer scale. Brighton homes run big: a full Victorian with twelve-foot ceilings, deep cornices and original joinery off Male Street is a long, detailed interior repaint, while a new build carries huge uninterrupted runs of render and cladding. We measure the surfaces actually being painted (walls, ceilings, trims, facades), and the quote reflects exactly that.
Paint product specified
Condition is next, and on the beach side of Brighton it dominates. Homes fronting the Esplanade take salt spray and hard afternoon sun straight off Port Phillip Bay, so standard acrylics fail years earlier than they would three streets back. An exterior repaint here starts with stripping failed film, treating corrosion-stained render and priming for marine exposure. Add lead-safe handling on pre-1970 homes and preparation can be half the job.
Access & height
Paint choice moves the number too: Dulux Wash & Wear sits below Haymes Ultra-Premium, and for Brighton’s salt-exposed beachfront elevations we specify Wattyl Solagard or Dulux Weathershield. The paint named on your Brighton quote is the paint that goes on the wall, no substitutions.
A worked example for a Brighton home
Rate bands are only useful once you put them against a real house. Take a large family home in Brighton, wide eaves, timber trim and multiple elevations.

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.
Why Request a Quote from Newline Painting?
Newline Painting has painted Melbourne homes for more than ten years, carries $20M public liability cover, and won both the ASBA Small Business Champion award and a Master Painters Australia Award for Excellence in 2025.
7-Year Warranty
A written 7-year workmanship warranty on every surface, so the finish on a bay-exposed facade is still holding its colour long after cheaper work has chalked.
$20M Insurance
$20 million public liability cover, certificates supplied before we start: the paperwork a Brighton owners corporation or builder expects without having to ask.
Reliable Scheduling
A start date you can plan around, put in writing, with exterior stages timed to coastal weather windows so every coat cures properly rather than racing fronts off the bay.
Rated 4.8 by our customers
In Bayside a paint finish gets judged against some of Melbourne's best-kept houses, which is the standard we quote to.
What we know about painting in Brighton
Heritage overlays run right through Brighton
City of Bayside heritage overlays cover much of Brighton’s Victorian and Edwardian fabric: the precincts between St Andrews Street and the Esplanade, streets around Middle Brighton and individually significant homes across the suburb. Even the Dendy Street Beach bathing boxes are heritage-controlled, down to their colour schemes. If your exterior is contributory and the colours are changing, check whether a permit applies; we read the overlay with you before quoting.
Lead paint is standard in pre-1970 Brighton homes
Brighton’s Victorian, Edwardian and interwar homes were almost all coated with lead-based paint at some point before 1970. We treat every pre-1970 surface as lead until tested: contained wet-sanding, drop-sheet capture, HEPA clean-up and correct disposal, never dry-sanding that drifts lead dust through a family home or across the garden.
Marine exposure on the Brighton beachfront
Brighton is true beachfront, and the paint knows it. Front-line homes along the Esplanade and the streets behind it take salt spray, corrosive sea air and unbroken westerly sun, so coatings chalk, fade and let go years earlier than inland. We specify marine-grade systems, Dulux Weathershield or Wattyl Solagard on exposed render and weatherboard, seal rust staining properly, and are upfront that bay-facing elevations run a shorter repaint cycle than the sheltered sides of the same house.
Contemporary builds and designer colour schedules
Brighton’s knockdown-rebuilds bring a different discipline: vast unbroken render and cladding planes that show every flaw, crisp shadow-line detailing, and architect-specified colour schedules that must be matched exactly. We finish large surfaces dead flat, mask hard lines cleanly and apply precisely what the schedule names, and for period homes we match heritage palettes with the same rigour.
