What Is The Cost To Paint The Interior Of A House In Australia?

The cost to paint the interior of a house in Australia varies depending upon the size of the painting job. The number and size of the rooms will be the major factor in any calculation when determining the cost of paiting your home interior. However, there are other factors which come into play when creating a quote to paint the interior of your home.

What Factors Determine The Cost Of Painting House Interior?

Condition of the walls

If the existing paint is still in excellent condition (perhaps we are painting for a colour change) then the time required to prep the walls for paint may be much shorter than if the paint is peeling from the walls and will require a greater amount of preparation time, sanding or sealing.

Type of rooms

Bathrooms, kitchens and wet areas often require special preparation and/or wet area paints to cope with the steamy, wet conditions found in these areas.

Whether or not trims and doors are to be painted

Sometimes it’s possible to save on cost when trims and doors are in good condition and do not need to be painted. We can repaint your walls without touching your trims and doors in some cases.

Colour of the paint

The choice of paint colour can also impact your costs. If you choose a light colour to be applied to a surface which is dark, it may require extra coats to be applied which will add to the cost.

Painting at heights or areas difficult to access

If your home interior has areas which are at height or difficult to access, perhaps requiring scaffolding or specialist ladders, it will increase the cost to paint the interior of your house. Not only are these areas more difficult to paint, they will also be much slower to paint and this will factor into the cost of your interior painting quote.

Quote For Interior House Painting

Painters will often ask to visit your property in order to provide you with an accurate and fair estimate. By seeing the area firsthand, they are able to recommend the right kind of paint for the job. As well as identifying any challenges they might face, it also allows them to identify potential solutions. The cost of the job will be based on whether mould, dirt, or uneven surfaces need to be addressed before painting begins.

Sometimes it’s possible to give you an estimate of your costs if you can provide the following information:

  • Materials and structure of your home
  • Square meterage of the area to be painted
  • Access requirements (eg. ladders, scaffolding etc.)
  • Surface condition
  • Whether trims & doors are to be painted or protected during the work
  • Timeframe for the work to be completed

The estimate provided will give you an idea of the costs, but for a confirmed quote we will need to access your property and view firsthand the areas to be painted. This step is also important as we may be able to make suggestions on how to approach the project which might even save you money.

The value of your home could increase substantially with a few cosmetic touch-ups before you put it on the market. As professional painters and decorators we can advise you which areas require attention and which areas can be safely ignored. Getting the right advice before you place your home on the market could save you thousands.
