Frequently asked questions 👇
Expect roughly R50 – R90 per square metre for labour only, or R100 – R250 per square metre including paint and materials, and a call-out/quote fee of about R350 – R666 sometimes charged on small jobs. Heavy prep, dark-to-light colour changes, textured surfaces, and work at height all push a quote toward the higher end.
The change-over standard: washing scuffed walls, filling picture holes, repainting high-traffic walls or whole units in a durable washable paint, and refreshing kitchens and bathrooms where steam and grease age paint fastest. Using the same colour and product across your units makes touch-ups between full repaints quick and invisible.
A pro typically paints a standard room in 4–8 hours including prep, a full interior in 3–7 days, and an exterior in 4–10 days depending on size, surface condition, and weather. Drying time between coats is part of the job, not padding, so be wary of quotes promising half the time of everyone else.
Every pro on Kandua is vetted before they can quote on jobs, and their reviews come from verified customers in and around Johannesburg, not anonymous ratings. Jess, Kandua’s AI home companion, also helps you scope the job properly first, so you’re matched with a painter who actually does that type of work.
