We paint small sections of dry interior walls and skirting, with surface preparation and paint supply included as agreed.
Small interior paint jobs
We touch up small scuffed or marked areas and paint minor repaired patches. Describe the surface, how large the area is and whether it has already been filled or sanded.
The quote identifies the preparation and painting to be done. Whole-house painting, high exterior work, structural repairs and wet-area work are outside this service.
Using the right paint
If you have the original paint, include its brand, colour and sheen. Tell us roughly how much is left and whether it is still usable. If paint needs supplying, include that in the request.
A touch-up can show against older paint even when the colour name matches. Depending on the surface, painting a small section to a corner or other natural edge may give a more even result. We discuss the area to be painted before quoting.
Preparation and protection
Cleaning, suitable surface preparation and protecting the floor are part of planning a paint job. Let us know about furniture close to the area and any patches that still need repair.
Damp patches, peeling caused by a leak and repeated cracks need their cause assessed first. Do not sand older or unknown material that may contain asbestos. We do not use paint to cover an unresolved structural or water problem.
What changes the cost?
The area, surface condition, preparation and paint supply affect the quote. A small mark on a sound wall differs from a patch needing filling, drying and sanding first.
Include the finish you want and any furniture that needs moving. An exact colour match or extra painting is not assumed.
See the handyman cost guide for published hourly rates and task prices, and what to check in your quote.
Our service covers minor, non-structural work. Residential building jobs are limited to $5,000 in total, including labour, materials and GST. Electrical, plumbing, gas and other specialist trades are outside this service. The limit applies to the whole job; work cannot be split into smaller invoices to avoid licensing. NSW licensing rules.
What to have ready
- Surfaces and approximate area to be painted
- Whether patching, sanding or other preparation is needed
- Paint brand, colour, sheen and supply
- Access, furniture and any rental permission
Have close-up photos and a wider view ready. Describe the job in the form; photographs cannot be uploaded here.
For a rented home, report repairs to the landlord or agent first. Alterations are different from repairing existing damage and may need specific written permission. See the NSW rental repairs guide before making a booking on someone else’s behalf.
Painting touch-ups questions
Can you use paint I already have?
Tell us its brand, colour and sheen, how much is left and whether it is usable. Paint supply is agreed as part of the quote.
Will a small touch-up match the rest of the wall?
It may remain visible because old paint changes with age and light exposure. We discuss whether a larger small section needs painting; an exact match is not promised.
Can you paint over a damp patch?
The cause needs assessment and repair first. Painting is not a repair for a leak, waterproofing failure or building movement.
How much will the job cost?
The quote depends on the items, condition, parts and access. We agree the work and price before starting. The cost guide gives third-party benchmarks; those are not our rates.
Can I include other small repairs?
Yes. List each job and the number of items in one request, including any parts supplied. The full job must stay within our minor repair service and NSW licensing limits.
