Frequently asked questions 👇
Most painting work is priced per m² or per room as a guide. Interior walls typically cost about R40 – R75 per m² in labour, or around R1,450 base per standard room, with ceilings at roughly R45 – R80 per m². Exterior residential walls usually start from about R750 for an assessment and scale at around R50 – R95 per m², while boundary walls run roughly R40 – R65 per linear metre and doors or windows about R750 for the first unit, then around R450 each. Paint is quoted separately. These are estimates, and surface prep, coats and paint quality drive most of the difference between quotes.
The exact paint brand and product, the number of coats, the prep work included (washing, scraping, filling, priming), which surfaces are covered (walls, ceilings, trim, doors), access costs like scaffolding, and a workmanship guarantee. Vague one-line quotes are where disputes start, insist on the detail in writing.

No, paint over moisture and it bubbles and peels again within months, exactly where it did before. The damp source needs fixing first, then mould treatment, proper prep, and the right primer before repainting. If damp keeps returning, it may be rising damp or a hidden leak that needs specialist assessment.
