HONEST PRICING, NO SURPRISES

Painting Pricing Guide for Gold Coast Homes & Businesses

No two painting jobs are the same, so we will never box you into a one-size-fits-all price. Every job is quoted individually after we have seen it, and the price we put in writing is the price you pay. This guide is here to give you a realistic idea of what painting costs on the Gold Coast, what shapes that cost, and exactly what you get
for your money.

How we price your PROJECT

We price every job individually from an on-site assessment, not a generic per-square-metre rate. Trent looks at the surfaces, the prep and the access involved, then gives you a fixed written quote with no hidden extras. You will know the full cost before we lift a brush.
01

Free on-site assessment

We visit, measure up and talk through exactly what you want.

02

Fixed written quote

A clear, itemised price, not a rough ballpark over the phone.

03

No surprises

The quoted price is the price you pay, unless you ask us to change the scope.

Our Gold Coast painting and coating guide PRICES

To give you a genuine starting point, here are indicative starting prices for some of our most common jobs on the Gold Coast. They assume surfaces in sound condition and can move once we factor in the details below, but they are a fair guide for budgeting.

From $4,500

3 bedroom unit or apartment

From $5,000

3 bedroom house

From $5,000

Floor coatings are priced per square metre, so this guide scales to driveways, patios, pool surrounds and single or double garages. These cover our most common interior, exterior, roof and concrete and epoxy floor work. For jobs outside these sizes, or for a firm figure, the most accurate next step is a free on-site quote. Commercial, body corporate and pressure washing projects vary too much in size, access and condition to guide-price fairly, so we quote those on assessment.

What is always INCLUDED in our price

Whatever the job, every quote includes the things that protect your home and your investment, with nothing hidden:

  • A fixed, written quote with no hidden costs
  • Thorough surface preparation, not just a coat over the top
  • Quality trade paints suited to your surfaces and Gold Coast conditions
  • Full protection of your floors, furniture and gardens
  • A qualified, in-house team, never subcontractors
  • A tidy site and a clean-up at the end of every day
  • Our workmanship warranty, backed by a fully licensed and insured business

Why the cheapest quote can cost you more

We will not always be the cheapest quote you get, and we are upfront about that. A low price usually means thin prep, fewer coats or cheaper paint, and that shows up within a year or two as peeling, patchiness and a repaint you did not budget for. We price the job to be done properly the first time, with the prep and paint to make it last, so you are not paying for it twice.

Pricing FAQs

As a guide, interior repaints start from around $4,500 for a two bedroom unit and $5,500 for a three bedroom house, while exterior repaints start from around $8,000. Roof restorations start from around $4,500 and floor coatings from around $45 per square metre. Your final price depends on size, surface condition, prep and access, so the most accurate figure comes from a free on-site quote.
As a guide, roof restorations start from around $4,500 for a tin roof and $5,000 for a tile roof. The final price depends on the roof size, how much repointing, tile or screw replacement is needed, and safe access for any two-storey roof.
Floor coatings are priced per square metre: from around $45 for painted concrete, $65 to $110 for epoxy flake, $65 to $95 for hone and seal, and $120 for polished concrete. Slab condition, old coating removal and prep all affect the final figure.
Because honest pricing means quoting what is actually in front of us. Larger commercial, body corporate and pressure washing jobs vary enormously in size, access and condition, so a single set price would either overcharge some customers or shortchange the work. Where we can give a fair starting guide, like our residential, roof and floor work above, we have. For the rest, we would rather see the job and give you a firm, fixed quote.
Yes. Every quote is free and no-obligation. We visit the site, assess the work and give you a clear written price, usually within a couple of days.
Book a free on-site assessment. Photos and rough sizes can give a ballpark, but seeing the surfaces, prep and access in person is the only way we can give you a firm, fixed quote you can rely on.
Not unless you ask us to change or add to the scope. The fixed quote we give you is the price you pay. If something unexpected comes up, we talk it through and agree any change with you in writing first.

Cyana Ferguson

Painter

Cyana is one of the proud women in the trade, and the kind of painter you want on the precision work. She picked up a brush five years ago after her boyfriend (a painter himself) nudged her toward the trade, and she has not looked back. She finished her Cert III in Painting and Decorating in 2024 and was a finalist for Apprentice of the Year in both 2022 and 2024, no small feat. On site, she is known for her careful, patient hand: clean cutting in along colour changes, and the meticulous prep and gloss work on trims, frames and doors.

Born on 19 April, Cyana shares her birthday with Kate Hudson, and the two would get along famously: a love of good food, a strong creative streak, and a zest for life all round. Off the tools, you will find Cyana painting artistically in her own time, dabbling in arts and craft, or hunting down a good feed.

Daniel Yeowart

Painter

Daniel is now in his sixth year on the tools and has built his name on high-end residential new builds right across the Gold Coast and Northern Rivers. As a Painter with the We Paint Gold Coast crew, he is trained up on the spray gun and brings the clean, considered finish that brand new homes call for. Cert III qualified in Painting and Decorating, he is the kind of hand who takes pride in getting it right the first time.

Born on 26 December, Daniel shares his birthday with Jared Leto, a man who balances a flat out career with a genuine love of the outdoors and adventure. Daniel is cut from the same cloth: easygoing, always good for a yarn, and happiest once the workday is done. When the rollers are down, you will find him with his family, out in the surf, or kicking back with a cold one at the pub.

Bryce McInally

Leading Hand Painter

Bryce brings seven years of trade-qualified painting experience to the team, with work spanning Brisbane, the Gold Coast and across New South Wales. He started his apprenticeship in 2019, worked for a small business on new housing estates, moved across to commercial high-rise work, and now puts his hand to high-end new homes with the We Paint Gold Coast crew. As Leading Hand Painter, his specialty is spray work on gloss framework and the patient art of staining timbers, with prep work where he takes the most pride.

Bryce stands by the team motto, “We paint because you don’t,” a line that captures the no-shortcuts mindset he brings to every job. Born on 12 June, he shares his birthday with George H.W. Bush, a man who would happily ditch any obligation for a rod, a boat and a quiet stretch of water. Bryce is cut from the same cloth: when the brushes are down, you will find him fishing on land or out on his boat, or kicking back with his girlfriend and family.

Rafael Tinoco Vilaca

Painter

Rafael brings six years in the trade to We Paint Gold Coast, having worked his way up from apprentice to supervisor and now running jobs from start to finish. A licensed painter, he has experience across every corner of the painting business, and working on new builds is well and truly his cup of tea. On the tools or steering a site, he brings the same steady, do-it-properly approach to every job.

Rafael lives by the saying “The present time has no advantage over every other: it is our own,” a reminder to make the most of life now rather than dwelling on the past or the future. Born on 26 July, he shares his birthday with Mick Jagger, a frontman known for leading from the front and wringing every last drop out of life, the same zest Rafael brings to running a site and living well. Off the tools, he is happiest out in nature: down the beach, chasing waterfalls, out on a hike, camping, or firing up the BBQ.

Sammy

Supervisor

G’day, meet Sammy. Seventeen years in the trade and still going strong, this fella has well and truly earned his stripes. He cut his teeth doing two years of hard yakka with Dynacoat, criss-crossing Australia knocking over commercial jobs, before pulling up with the We Paint Gold Coast crew coming up nine years ago and grafting his way up to Supervisor. Spraying, roof restoration, new builds, repaints, texturing: you name it, and if it’s got anything to do with painting, Sammy’s your man. On the tools or running the show, he gets the job done properly and doesn’t muck about.

His motto is fair dinkum gold: “you can’t paint without paint.” Simple, cheeky, and true as they come. Born on 5 December, Sammy shares his birthday with Walt Disney, a bloke who started with one little sketch and built the whole lot from the ground up, much like Sammy going from a set of apprentice hands to running the crew. And when the brushes are down? You’ll catch him smacking a few balls round the golf course, putting in the hard yards at the gym, chasing a wave down the beach, or cracking a cold one. Good onya, Sammy.

Known for her strong organisational skills, sharp attention to detail and a customer-focused approach, she holds every job to the team’s highest standard, from first quote through to final walk-through.

Her favourite saying, “You can’t climb the ladder of success with your hands in your pockets,” sums up the always-doing, always-moving energy she brings to every project. Born on 4 June, Dannikah shares her birthday with Angelina Jolie, a woman known for juggling motherhood, family and a high-output career with equal dedication, qualities Dannikah lives daily. When not at her desk, Dannikah is happiest outdoors with her kids and family, or shopping up a storm at Pac Fair.
