Most painting quotes come down to four things: the size of the property, which surfaces are included, the condition of the existing paint, and how easy the work is to reach. Choose the options below for a starting range.

GOOD TO KNOW
Frequently asked questions
How accurate is the painting cost calculator?
It gives the range most Sydney jobs of that size and condition fall into. Ceiling height, colour changes, access and the amount of trim can move a real quote outside the range, so treat it as a budget guide, not a price.
Do Sydney painters charge by the hour or by the job?
Most quote a fixed price for the whole job after an inspection. Hourly rates of about $55 to $90 are mostly used for small jobs and touch-ups.
Is paint included in these prices?
Yes. The ranges include labour and quality paint, such as a Dulux interior low-sheen or exterior acrylic, with two topcoats and normal preparation.
