How Much Does it Cost to Paint a 5-Room HDB Flat? (Updated Apr 2023)
The cost of painting a 5-room HDB flat in Singapore will range from $1,400 to $2,300, depending on the type of paint you choose, and the number of colours.
This is based on using Nippon Paint’s Vinilex 5000 (standard paint) to Odour-less EasyWash (premium paint), and if choose to use oil sealer (additional $500).
The main reasons why the price of engaging professional painters has increased are due to;
- Labour: 2 experienced painters will take 3 to 4 days.
- Insurance
- Medical benefits for workers.
- Worker’s levy
- Increase in rental stay for the workers (2nd main reason).
- Increase in paint cost per tin. (Main reason)
