    I contacted Lee about a badly damaged painting done by my grandmother that I was looking to have restored. She was very responsive with communication and explained the process and costings clearly. She was able to complete the restoration very promptly & also facilitated having it framed by a local business, which I was very grateful for. I was delighted with the outcome and would not hesitate to use Lee's services again and recommend her to others.

    Lee is a charming person who is a very knowledgable and talented artist. She goes above and beyond to restore paintings back to “better than their original condition”. I am so grateful to Lee for her skills to bring back valuable artworks to reveal their prior beauty. Her colour matching and referencing of the subject is so exact and she has worked across mediums in the each of the four pieces I have asked her to repair for me. Lee is a rare find and will take such great care to clean and repair your precious artwork.

    Lee did a fabulous job repairing an original painting on canvas I had incorrectly packed when moving. I am so thrilled with the result, I thought I had ruined the work and now you can't tell it was damaged. I highly recommend.

    Lee expertly restored 2 oil on board paintings that had both mould and insect damage. The restoration was amazing. I would highly recommend Lee.

Frequently asked questions

How much do painters typically charge?
Painting costs depend on the size of the job, the condition of existing surfaces, and whether the work is interior, exterior or both. Jobs requiring significant preparation such as sanding, filling or priming will generally cost more than a straightforward repaint over sound surfaces. Most painters quote per square metre or per room, with exterior work and multi-storey access typically attracting higher rates. This page shows live pricing for jobs in your area.
Do painters need a licence in Australia?
Yes. In most Australian states and territories, painters carrying out domestic work above a certain value must hold a trade-specific licence or registration. Licensing requirements and thresholds vary by jurisdiction — for example, NSW requires a Contractor Licence for painting work. A licensed painter should be able to provide their licence number on request, and you can verify it with your state's building authority.
How should I prepare my home before painters arrive?
Most painters will handle masking, drop sheets and surface preparation as part of the job, but clearing the area of furniture, wall hangings and fragile items beforehand helps the job run smoothly and may reduce your quote. For exterior work, ensure the painter has clear access to all walls and that garden beds or outdoor furniture are moved back. Discuss any specific concerns like lead paint, mould or moisture damage before work begins so the painter can plan accordingly.
