How much do painters charge in Tweed Heads?

As a guide for Tweed Heads: $3,000–$5,500 for a 3-bedroom interior, $5,000–$11,000 for a full exterior, and $60–$120 per square metre for epoxy flooring. Your written quote fixes the price before work starts.

Is the quote fixed or an estimate?

Fixed. After the on-site walkthrough you get a written quote listing surfaces, preparation, products and coat numbers. The price only changes if you approve extra work in writing.

Why are some painting quotes so much cheaper?

Almost always preparation and coat count. A cheap quote usually means one thinned coat, minimal patching, no primer on bare surfaces and no written scope — which shows up as flaking within a couple of seasons.

How to Estimate a Painting Quote Yourself — Cost per Square Metre

A simple square-metre method for sanity-checking any painting quote you receive.

What should house painting cost per square metre in 2026? Interior work generally lands around $12–$25/m² and exterior $18–$40/m², before prep and repairs. Here's how to estimate your own job from those rates, what pushes a quote up, and how to sanity-check three quotes against each other.

The square-metre method

Interior repaints in Australia commonly run $18 to $35 per square metre of floor area for walls, ceilings and trim in two coats. Exterior work is usually quoted on wall area and runs $25 to $45 per square metre depending on substrate and access.

A worked example

A 180 square metre single-storey home, interior only, two coats to walls and ceilings with trim included, lands somewhere around $5,000 to $6,500 in the Tweed and Gold Coast market. Add ceilings in a dark previous colour, extensive plaster repair or a second storey and the figure moves up.

What the rate must include

If a quote is well under the band, check what has been left out.

Two full coats, not one coat over a similar colour
Filling, sanding and spot priming
Premium paint named by product, not just brand
Furniture and floor protection
Site clean and rubbish removal

Why cheap quotes cost more

The savings in a low quote almost always come out of preparation, and prep is the only part of the job that determines how long the finish survives coastal weather.
