What affects your painting price
- Size and height. More wall area and higher ceilings mean more paint and labour.
- Wall condition. Cracks, peeling, stains and mould need prep before painting.
- Paint brand and grade. Premium washable, anti-bacterial or low-VOC lines cost more per litre.
- Colours. Dark colours and big colour changes often need an extra coat. Many colours in one home take more time.
- Empty or furnished. Moving and covering furniture adds time.
- Access and rules. Condo hours, lift bookings and scaffolding for exteriors all add cost.
- Urgency. Weekend, after-hours or next-day jobs may carry a surcharge.
How to save on painting
- Paint before you move in, or after you move out. Empty homes are faster to paint.
- Stick to one or two colours for most of the home, and use a feature wall for impact.
- Bundle jobs. Add the gate, door and small repairs to one visit instead of paying minimum charges several times.
- Avoid peak periods such as the weeks before Chinese New Year, when painters are fully booked and prices go up.
- Compare like for like. A cheap quote with one coat of an unnamed paint isn’t a bargain. That’s why we ask every painter to use the same itemised format.
Watch out for quotes that are far below these ranges. The usual tricks are watered-down paint, a single coat, skipped prep or extra charges added halfway through. Read how to choose a painter in Singapore before you sign.
