- Fast free quotes
- Local Ballarat crew
- Tidy prep and clean-up
Painters Ballarat paints interiors, exteriors, weatherboards, rendered walls, roofs and commercial premises across Ballarat and the surrounding suburbs. That covers the common jobs: repainting a tired living room, a full exterior on a Victorian weatherboard in Soldiers Hill, a roof restoration in Sebastopol, or a shopfront in the CBD that needs a fresh coat before a lease starts.
We work for homeowners, landlords, property managers and small business owners who want the job quoted in writing, done on the agreed dates, and left clean. Most of the houses here are older than the paint on them, so we start with the prep: washing, scraping, sanding, filling and priming before any colour goes on. If you are not sure what the job needs, ask for a quote and we will come out, look at it properly and tell you.

Why us
How we work
Prep comes first
Paint only lasts as long as what is under it. We wash, scrape, sand, fill and prime before the top coats go on, and we tell you in the quote exactly what prep the job needs.
Written quotes, no surprises
Every quote is itemised: surfaces, prep, number of coats, paint brand and line, and what is excluded. If something changes on site we talk to you before we do it.
Built for Ballarat weather
Frosty mornings, hot dry summers and wind off the lake are hard on exterior paint. We pick products and timing to suit, and we will not paint a weatherboard wall on a frosty morning.
We leave it tidy
Floors and furniture covered, gardens protected, drop sheets up and tools gone at the end of each day. You get a walkthrough before we call the job finished.
The process
From quote to clean-up
- 1
Site visit and written quote
We come out, measure up, check the condition of the surfaces and send a written, itemised quote soon after.
- 2
Colour and finish
You choose colours and sheen levels. We can bring sample pots and advise on what suits the house and the light, or book a colour consultation.
- 3
Preparation
Washing, scraping, sanding, filling, caulking and priming. On exteriors this is usually most of the job, and it is where a repaint lasts or fails.
- 4
Painting
Undercoat and two top coats as standard, cut in by hand, rolled or sprayed to suit the surface. We keep to the agreed dates and tell you if weather pushes things back.
- 5
Clean-up and walkthrough
Everything packed up and the site cleaned. We walk the job with you, touch up anything you spot, and leave you the leftover paint for future touch-ups.

Cost
What does painting cost in Ballarat?

Most three-bedroom interiors we quote land between $2,500 and $8,000 and a full exterior between $5,000 and $15,000, with weatherboard and two-storey homes at the upper end. Our cost guide breaks down hourly rates, per-square-metre and per-room prices, and what a written quote should include. The only accurate number is a quote for your house, and that is free.

Painting in Ballarat: common questions
How much does it cost to paint a 3-bedroom house in Ballarat?
Most three-bedroom interiors we quote land between $2,500 and $8,000 and a full exterior between $5,000 and $15,000. Weatherboards, two storeys and heavy prep push it up. A free written quote for your actual house is the only number worth budgeting on.
How much do painters charge per hour in Victoria?
The spread is wide: around $40 to $100 an hour, with established crews around Ballarat and Melbourne mostly in the $70 to $90 range. Most house painting is quoted as a fixed price for the whole job rather than by the hour, which protects you from overruns.
How long does it take to paint a 4-bedroom house?
Interior work on a four-bedroom house usually takes five to ten working days with a small crew, depending on ceiling heights, wall condition and how many coats are needed. A full exterior adds three to six days and depends on the weather. We give you a schedule with the quote.
Is paying a painter worth it?
For a single bedroom, DIY can make sense. For a full exterior, high ceilings, heritage trim or anything needing ladders and scaffold, a professional finish lasts longer and is safer. Paint and gear for a four-bedroom DIY job can run into thousands of dollars before your time is counted.
When is the best time of year to paint in Ballarat?
Late spring through early autumn is best for exteriors. Ballarat winters bring frost, fog and days that never reach the minimum temperature most exterior paints need to cure. Interiors can be painted year round, and winter is often easier to book. We plan around the forecast either way.
Do you paint heritage homes?
Yes. Ballarat has a lot of Victorian, Edwardian and bungalow housing, and many of those properties sit in a heritage overlay. We work with period colour schemes, timber trim and decorative detail, and we will tell you when a change needs council advice before we start.
