How Much Does Painting & Decorating Cost in Australia?

As a general guide, not a quote, painting & decorating services in Australia typically cost $60–$100 per hour. The range is per hour, for labour; most painting jobs are quoted per square metre or per room instead. On Mozome, providers set their own prices, and you see the price of a service before you book.

What you pay depends mostly on the area to paint, and inside or outside; how much preparation the surfaces need: filling, sanding, priming; the number of coats and the type of paint; access, such as ladders or scaffolding for high walls; and trims, doors and ceilings as well as walls.

Verified providers are marked as verified, and providers who haven’t been verified yet are listed too, so look for the marking when you compare. Ratings and reviews come from completed bookings. Before you book, check what the price includes.

At least 24 hours, unless you mark the booking as urgent. If the provider doesn’t respond to your booking in time, the booking is cancelled and you get a full refund.

Mozome charges providers no commission on their job price. When you book, Mozome adds a booking fee of 5% of the job price (at least $2 and never more than $25), shown before you pay.
