Ceiling height, plaster condition and access swing the price most on Randwick’s older homes. The only accurate number comes from walking through your place and itemising it. See our Sydney painting cost guide.
One street, three different jobs
Federation cottages. The original timber joinery is repaired rather than buried under paint. Anything built before 1970 is treated as likely to carry lead in the old coats, and prepared lead safe to AS 4361.2 with proper containment and disposal, not dry scraped into the garden.
Heritage sandstone terraces. Old solid masonry needs to breathe. An acrylic that can’t breathe, sealed over render or sandstone, traps moisture behind it, so we match the coating to the wall rather than rolling one product over everything. Our sandstone cottage in Queens Park shows the standard we bring to Randwick’s older masonry homes.
Apartment buildings and strata. A large share of Randwick is strata. Common property (facades and render, hallways, stairwells and balcony soffits) comes with an itemised quote ready for the committee and the full compliance pack: NSW licence 254277C, insurance certificates and a SWMS written for your site, with the work sequenced around residents. See our strata painters page.
Exterior house painting in Randwick
Exterior house painting in Randwick is a different job from the beachfront. Randwick sits far enough inland that salt matters much less, so on render and masonry you can expect around 8 to 12 years between exterior repaints, around 7 to 10 years on weatherboard and timber, and 5 to 8 years on windows, doors and trim.
What decides how long it lasts is the preparation. Walls are washed, loose and flaking paint is scraped back to a sound edge, bare timber is primed, and older coats on anything built before 1970 are handled lead safe. On a federation cottage that usually means more time on the timber fascias, windows and verandah detail than on the walls themselves. Exteriors are quoted after a walk around, with scaffold or access priced upfront where the job needs it.
Shops and commercial. We also paint commercial and retail premises in Randwick, working around tenants and trading hours, including after hours and weekends where the business needs it.
Need house painters in Randwick for something else? We also do interior and exterior house painting, commercial and strata painting, timber decks and pressure washing. If you’re just south in Kingsford, our Kingsford painters page covers that suburb.

Painting in Randwick: common questions
How much does it cost to paint a house in Randwick?
As a guide for 2026: a single room $600 to $1,500, a three bedroom interior $6,000 to $12,000, and a full exterior $8,000 to $25,000+. Ceiling height, plaster condition and access swing the price most on Randwick’s older homes.
Do you paint Federation and Victorian homes in Randwick?
Yes. Older Randwick homes need breathable systems on original render and careful preparation of the timber joinery, not modern acrylic rolled over everything.
How long does a repaint take?
A typical Randwick interior takes 3 to 7 days, and a full exterior 1 to 3 weeks, depending on prep, access and weather. You get a day by day plan before we start.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. NSW licence 254277C, fully insured, Dulux Accredited, with a 5 year written workmanship guarantee.
Do you paint the sandstone terraces around Randwick?
Yes. Old solid masonry walls need a breathable coating, not a sealed acrylic skin that traps moisture. Our sandstone cottage in Queens Park shows the preparation and finish we bring to Randwick’s heritage masonry homes.
How long does exterior paint last on a Randwick home?
Randwick sits far enough inland that salt matters much less than on the beachfront. On render and masonry, expect around 8 to 12 years between exterior repaints, around 7 to 10 years on weatherboard and timber, and 5 to 8 years on windows, doors and trim.
Do you paint apartment buildings and commercial premises in Randwick, not just houses?
Yes. A large share of Randwick’s housing is strata, so common property repaints (facades, hallways, stairwells and balcony soffits) are a regular part of our work here, each with a quote ready for the committee and the full compliance pack. We also paint shops and commercial premises, scheduled around trading hours.
