What counts as a house repaint?

Repainting surfaces that already carry paint, walls, ceilings, trim, doors, cladding, fascia and soffits, to refresh tired or old paintwork rather than coat a brand new build. We handle both interior and exterior repaints, and plenty of homes get the lot done together.

My paint is peeling and faded. Is it too far gone?

Rarely. Faded, chalking and peeling paintwork is exactly what repaint specialists deal with. We assess the surface, sort the prep, and recoat with the right system so it holds up rather than failing again in a couple of years.

Can you do interior and exterior at the same time?

Yes, and it often makes sense. We sequence the work so the crew moves through efficiently, and you get one consistent finish across the whole home instead of mismatched colours and sheens.

Do you do free quotes?

Yes. We come to you, look over the whole house inside and out, and send a fixed written quote within one working day. No charge, no obligation.

Bought a tired place and wanted it freshened inside and out before we moved in. They did the lot in one go and it feels like a new house.

How we work

Our house repaints process.

Four steps, every job. Each one with a hold point. No surprises, no scope creep, no painting over problems we should have caught earlier.

Walk the house

We walk inside and out, list what needs refreshing, and send one fixed quote for the whole job so you can plan around a single price.

Prep every surface

Wash, scrape, fill, and sand. Tired and flaking paintwork comes back to a sound base before any new colour goes on.

Interior coats

Reviews

What Christchurch homeowners say

"Intext Plaster & Paint did the painting on our new build in Faringdon. Builder recommended them and I can see why. Clean lines on the ceilings, no overspray on the cedar accents, no callbacks. They were on site exactly when our builder said they would be, which apparently isn't normal."

"Got three quotes for repainting the weatherboard front and side of our place. Intext Plaster & Paint wasn't the cheapest but they walked through the flaking and prep issues no-one else had picked up. Crew turned up when they said, finished a day early, and the finish is genuinely better than what was there originally."

"We had a leak at the back of the house that turned into major exterior repairs, so the interior needed repainting once the builders were done. Intext Plaster & Paint handled the painting and were the easiest part of a stressful process. They flagged a couple of damp patches the builder hadn't fully dried out before they started, and the finish blends in perfectly with the rooms we didn't touch."

FAQs

Common questions about house repaints.

A full interior repaint of a three-bedroom home usually runs $4,500 to $9,000, and a full exterior repaint $8,000 to $20,000 depending on size, cladding and condition. Doing both at once often saves on setup and access. We quote after a walk through the property.
