One of the most common questions we get asked as professional painters in Melbourne is "How much will it cost to paint my house?" Here's our comprehensive 2026 price guide based on real projects we've completed across Melbourne.
Call Jimmy — 0432 077 782Interior painting is usually quoted per room or for the whole house rather than at a flat rate per square metre. A per-m² figure quoted before anyone has seen the property tends to be misleading, because the things that actually move the price are not floor area: wall and ceiling condition, whether ceilings and trim are included, whether you are changing colour dramatically, room count and ceiling height, and the finish level you choose.
As a budgeting guide, a whole-house interior repaint in Melbourne typically runs $5,000 to $12,000 for a 3-bedroom home and $8,000 to $18,000 for a 4-bedroom home.
These are indicative Melbourne ranges to help you budget. Every quote is priced after a site visit — condition, access and scope move the number more than floor area does.
Our interior painting services include thorough preparation — filling holes, sanding, priming — premium Dulux or Taubmans paint, and a spotless cleanup.
| Home Size | Price Range | Includes |
|---|---|---|
| Small (single storey, under 150m²) | $4,000 - $8,000 | Walls, fascia, gutters |
| Medium (double storey, 150-250m²) | $8,000 - $15,000 | Walls, fascia, gutters, trim |
| Large (250m²+) | $15,000 - $30,000+ | Full exterior package |
These are indicative Melbourne ranges to help you budget. Every quote is priced after a site visit — condition, access and scope move the number more than floor area does.
Our exterior painting services use weather-resistant coatings designed for Melbourne's harsh UV and variable climate. We also offer roof painting, quoted after an inspection of the roof.

A whole-house interior repaint for a 3-bedroom home typically runs $5,000 to $12,000, depending on wall and ceiling condition, trim work, and the finish level chosen. That's for interior only — exterior painting is quoted separately based on the home's size and access.
Surface condition, the number of coats needed, height and access requirements, and paint quality all move the price more than floor area alone. A quote that looks cheap often has less preparation built in, which is where paint failure usually starts.
Yes. A proper quote should include a detailed written breakdown of costs, the paint brand and product specifications, a timeline, and warranty information. A one-line price with no scope makes it hard to compare against other quotes fairly.
Multi-storey homes often need scaffolding or edge protection for safe access, and that adds to the cost. How much depends on the height, the ground conditions and how much of the building needs to be reached, so we price it after seeing the property. It is itemised in your written quote rather than hidden in the total.
