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. (The price of paint has increased by 30 to 40% for some brands since Covid-19 has been declared endemic. Check out Nippon Paint’s latest price.)
