Apartment Painting Needs More Than Just a Good Finish
Painting an apartment is not the same as painting a freestanding house. Access matters. Lifts matter. Noise restrictions matter. Shared corridors, common area floors, and body corporate rules matter. A painter can do clean cut-ins and still create a problem if they ignore how apartment buildings actually operate.
Brushworks is used to that environment. Nick quotes the work himself, explains the scope clearly, and plans the repaint around the building, not against it. That applies whether the job is a one-bedroom investor refresh, a pre-sale apartment repaint, a bathroom mould treatment, or a full interior repaint before a new tenant moves in.

- Pre-sale and pre-lease presentation painting designed to improve photos and inspection feel
- Mould treatment and anti-mould coating in bathrooms, laundries, and damp-prone rooms
- Low-odour options when the apartment is occupied and disruption needs to stay low

Apartment Painting Problems We Solve
These are the main apartment repaint issues owners, landlords, sellers, and strata-linked residents usually want solved before they commit to a painter.
Problem: Shared Areas Get Damaged or Dirtied
A lot of apartment complaints start before a brush touches the wall. Paint drips in lifts, scuffs in corridors, and poor access handling create tension with neighbours and strata.
Solution: Building-Aware Protection
We plan access properly, protect floors and furniture, move materials carefully, and keep common areas clean while the apartment job is underway.
Problem: Occupied Apartments Cannot Tolerate Chaos
When someone is still living in the unit, too much dust, smell, or disruption makes the repaint feel harder than it should.
Solution: Practical, Low-Disruption Staging
We can work room by room, use low-odour options where suitable, and keep the space usable while the repaint moves through the apartment.
Problem: Rental Units Need Fast Presentation Gains
Old colours, marked walls, and patchy ceilings reduce rental appeal and make listing photos look tired before inspections even begin.
Solution: Pre-Lease and Pre-Sale Focus
We help owners focus on the surfaces and colours that improve how the apartment looks online, in person, and at inspection without overspending on the wrong areas.
Problem: Wet Areas Keep Showing Mould Again
Bathrooms and laundries can look fixed for a few weeks, then the staining or mould comes back because the surface was never treated properly.
Solution: Treatment Before Topcoat
We clean, treat, block stains, and use the right coating system for moisture-prone areas so the finish has a better chance of lasting.
How an Apartment Painting Job Runs
Clear steps, clear scope, and direct answers to the questions owners ask about who does the work, what happens on site, where the painters work, and how the apartment stays manageable during the job.
1
Quote
Nick visits in person, or by video where suitable, checks the apartment, and provides a fixed written quote.
2
Access Plan
We confirm access, lift use, timing, building restrictions, and whether the apartment is occupied before the job begins.
3
Preparation
Furniture protection, filling, sanding, crack repair, stain blocking, mould treatment, and priming are completed before topcoats begin.
4
Painting
Two-coat application using Dulux trade-grade or premium systems matched to the apartment, room use, and wear level.
5
Clean-Up
We tidy the apartment, complete touch-ups, walk through the result, and issue the workmanship warranty on completion.
Licensed, Insured and Used to Apartment Buildings
Apartment painting needs accountability as much as finish quality. Owners want to know who is quoting, who is entering the building, how the common areas are protected, and what happens if the work needs to satisfy a body corporate or strata manager.

Frequently Asked Questions
These questions are written to answer the apartment-painting queries owners actually ask, including cost, strata issues, occupied-unit concerns, location coverage, and what is included in the service.
How much does apartment painting cost in Sydney?
Apartment painting starts from $450 for a single bedroom, from $1,200 for a one-bedroom apartment, from $1,800 for a two-bedroom apartment, and from $2,400 for a three-bedroom apartment. Brushworks provides fixed written quotes after a free inspection, so the agreed number is the number on the invoice.
How long does an apartment repaint take?
A one-bedroom apartment is often 1 to 2 days, a two-bedroom apartment usually takes 2 to 3 days, and a three-bedroom apartment commonly takes 3 to 4 days. Apartments with more repairs, detailed trims, mould treatment, or tighter building access rules may take longer.
Can you paint an apartment while someone is still living in it?
Yes. Occupied apartments are a normal part of the work. We can stage the repaint room by room, protect furniture and floors, and use lower-odour systems where suitable so the apartment stays practical to live in.
Do I need strata approval to repaint my apartment?
Internal apartment painting often does not need formal approval if the work stays inside your lot, but building rules vary. We help owners think through access, lift use, timing, and building-specific requirements so the repaint does not create avoidable problems.
What is included in an apartment painting quote?
A typical Brushworks quote covers inspection, fixed pricing, surface preparation, filling, sanding, priming where needed, two-coat application, furniture and floor protection, clean-up, and the written workmanship warranty on completion.
Can you treat mould in bathrooms and laundries before painting?
Yes. We can treat mould-affected areas, block stains where required, and apply a suitable anti-mould coating system for bathrooms, laundries, and moisture-prone apartment rooms.
Do you handle pre-sale and pre-lease apartment painting?
Yes. Pre-sale and pre-lease apartment repainting is a major part of the work. We help owners focus on the rooms, colours, and finishes that improve photos, inspections, leasing speed, and buyer perception without overspending.
What parts of Sydney do you cover for apartment painting?
Brushworks covers Greater Sydney for apartment painting, including the Inner West, Eastern Suburbs, North Shore, South Sydney, and CBD fringe. Contact us to confirm your building and suburb.
Do you offer a warranty on apartment painting?
Yes. Completed apartment jobs are backed by a 5-year Dulux Painter’s Workmanship Warranty, subject to Dulux Accredited conditions. We also provide a clear written scope before the work begins so you know what is covered.
