For bedrooms and living areas: mid-grade (Nippon Odour-less All-in-1 or Dulux Easyclean) balances cost and durability. For bathrooms and kitchens: anti-mould paint (Nippon Spotless Plus) resists humidity damage. For external walls or landed exteriors: Weathershield-grade paint. Always insist the brand and grade is named in the quote — switching on delivery day is a documented trade trick.
A 4-room HDB interior repaint takes 3-5 days (prep day, two coat days with drying between). Rush 1-2 day repaints cut prep work — no patching of cracks, no proper sanding, no primer. These peel within 18 months. Landed exterior paint runs 7-14 days with weather-dependent scheduling (avoid monsoon season Nov-Jan).
HDB 4-room mid-grade interior repaint: S\$1,500-2,800 for two coats with prep. Premium anti-mould: S\$2,800-4,200. Condo 3-bedroom mid-range: S\$2,200-3,800. Landed 3-bedroom interior: S\$5,500-9,500. Landed exterior with Weathershield: S\$12,000-25,000 depending on scaffolding and size.
Proper painters handle all prep — patching hairline cracks, sanding, priming, masking floors and furniture, covering vents. Quotes should explicitly include prep work. Painters who expect you to move your own furniture or mask floors are cutting scope — and often the prep itself.
Reputable painters offer 12-month workmanship warranty covering peeling, blistering, and colour inconsistency. Lower-grade painters offer 3-6 months or no warranty. Warranty matters most for exterior and humid-area work — those are the most likely to fail. A painter who refuses warranty has no incentive to do the job right the first time.
