End of Lease Painting in Sydney

At the end of a lease, painting is usually about one thing: getting the property ready by a fixed date. Tenants may need to fix marks, holes or damage noted against the ingoing condition report. Landlords and property managers often use the gap between tenants to freshen up walls that have worn over several years.

Tell us your handover or inspection date when you book, and we’ll plan the work around it.

What end of lease painting usually covers

  • Filling and painting over holes from picture hooks, screws and wall plugs
  • Touching up or repainting scuffed walls, doors, skirting boards and door frames
  • Covering marks that won’t wash off
  • Repainting whole rooms where patch repairs would show

Most rental work is interior painting, and much of it is in units, so see our apartment painting page for how we work with strata buildings.

Touch-up or full repaint?

Touch-ups only blend in when the original colour and sheen can be matched and the existing paint is in reasonable condition. On older or faded walls, a patch can stand out against the paint around it, so it is often better to repaint the whole wall or room. We’ll tell you at the quote which approach suits each area.

For tenants

Check your condition report and lease before booking. If your landlord or agent has asked for specific repairs, send us the list and we’ll quote against it. Whether painting is your responsibility depends on your lease and the condition of the property when you moved in. Your agent or NSW Fair Trading can explain your obligations.

For landlords and property managers

We can quote from the property manager’s notes or an exit report, arrange access through the agent, and work in the gap between tenants. Washable, durable finishes are worth considering for rental walls, and we’ll recommend products in the quote.

End of lease painting FAQs

How quickly can you do end of lease painting?

It depends on the size of the job and our schedule at the time. Book as early as you can and tell us your deadline. We’ll confirm in the quote whether we can meet it.

Can you match the existing paint colour?

If you know the original paint brand and colour, give us the details. Otherwise we can colour-match from the wall. Faded paint may not match exactly, which is why repainting a full wall is sometimes the better option.

Can you arrange access through the real estate agent?

Yes. We can arrange keys and access through the agent and send the quote to whoever is paying for the work.
