Interior wall painting Durbanville

Expect R50 to R90 per square metre in labour or R100 to R250 including paint — which lands a standard bedroom at R1,500 to R3,500 and a lounge at R2,500 to R6,000 all-in. Batching several rooms into one visit prices meaningfully better per room.

Two coats over sound, prepared surfaces is the professional standard — one coat almost never covers evenly regardless of the tin’s promises. Deep colour changes, especially dark to light, add a primer or extra coat. Patched and filled areas must be spot-primed or they show as dull patches through the final coat.

A standard bedroom is a one-day job including preparation and two coats; living areas run one to two days, and heavily prepped or double-volume rooms longer. Modern acrylics are touch-dry fast — most rooms are back in service the same evening. It’s always worth getting a professional assessment for your specific setup in Durbanville — quotes on Kandua are free.

Matt hides wall imperfections and suits lounges, bedrooms, and ceilings; low-sheen and satin wipe clean for passages, kids’ rooms, and kitchens; and moisture-resistant formulations handle bathroom steam. Higher sheen equals more washable but less forgiving of surface flaws — the room’s traffic decides.

A professional job includes moving furniture to the room’s centre, sheeting it and the floors, removing switch and plug covers, and full cleanup — confirm it’s in the quote. Emptying small items and valuables yourself beforehand speeds everything up and prices better.
