What Affects the Cost of Painting & Plastering?
Small jobs — a single wall, room touch-up or minor plaster repair — typically start from $250 incl. GST. Full rooms, exteriors and larger jobs are quoted individually after a free on-site assessment, and pricing follows the factors below.
More walls, ceilings or exterior cladding means more time and paint.
Cracked plaster or damaged GIB needs repair before painting can start.
Colour changes or bare surfaces may need an extra coat.
Exterior work at height can take longer to prep and paint safely.
Skirting, architraves and doors add detail time to the job.
Commercial jobs may need after-hours or weekend scheduling.
All quotes are free and provided with no obligation — we aim to respond within one business day.

Painting & Plastering FAQ
How much does painting or plastering cost?
Small jobs like a single wall or minor plaster repair start from $250 incl. GST. Full rooms, exteriors and larger jobs are quoted individually after a free on-site assessment. Smaller than that? Ring Rinat on 021 022 66991, describe the job, and ask for a price for that exact work — the call is free.
Do you repair cracks and holes before painting?
Yes. GIB stopping and plaster repairs are part of the service — holes and cracks are stopped, sanded and blended in so they're invisible once painted.
How many coats of paint do you apply?
A two-coat finish is standard for a lasting, even result. Colour changes or bare surfaces may need an extra coat, which is confirmed in the quote.
Do you do exterior painting in Auckland's weather?
Yes, weatherboards, cladding, fascia and eaves are properly prepped and painted to handle Auckland's damp climate and protect the timber underneath.
Can you paint commercial or rental properties?
Yes. We've completed commercial painting work including a lift well repaint, and can work around tenant access, weekends or after-hours scheduling where needed.
Which areas do you service?
We service Botany, Howick, Pakuranga, Dannemora, Flat Bush, Ormiston and surrounding East Auckland suburbs.
