Add rooms/areas below to calculate your budget. Adjust quantities with +/- buttons.
Quantity shown between − and + is Room # (not m²). For extras: doors/windows = Item #, balustrade/skirtings/fascia/guttering = Lm, fence/eaves/pergola = m² of paintable surface.
PBA Small Job Specialist rates apply: $400 up to 2 hours • $800 up to 4 hours • $1,400 up to 8 hours.
Note: Painting your entire internal or entire external project typically saves you a further 10-20% off the estimated price (economies of scale — fewer set-ups, single mobilisation, volume materials).

Quote #1 — Your PaintBusters Budget Estimate
Calculated from 2026 Australian industry rates using dual-method pricing (production hours + market benchmarks).

Estimated Days
How is this calculated?
This estimate uses a dual-method calculation that blends two industry-standard approaches: 1. Production rates: Painter hours from Resene productivity tables (10-12 m²/hr/coat interior, 6-10 m²/hr/coat exterior) at AUD 85/hr + 22% materials. 2. Market benchmarks: $/m² rates from 2025-2026 Australian industry data (Master Painters, brushworks.com.au, tradieverify.com.au).
Actual quotes may vary ±10-15% based on paint brand, surface condition, and location.
Price Exclusions
This estimate does not include costs for:
Lead paint testing, removal, or containment
Asbestos surface-specific preparation
High access equipment (cherry pickers, boom lifts, rope access)
Scaffolding hire & erection beyond standard single-storey
These items require specialist assessment and will be quoted separately if needed.
