    We recently had the exterior and interior of our home painted by Railton and we couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, David was a great communicator, always keeping us up to date with what was happening throughout the works. He was also very courteous and respectful. The house was in some desperate need of TLC and it has now been completely transformed. Highly recommend!

    David and the team have done an excellent job painting the tricky exterior of our old house. Super high quality work, always on time and excellent advice and communication. I hired Railton Painting over some cheaper quotes as Dave took the time during quoting to not just quote on the work that I thought needed doing, but to give sound advice and include a couple of extras that would save me some money in the long term. And we now have a garage that doesn’t leak in heavy rain. 👍 I look forward to engaging Railton Painting for our next job.

    True craftsmanship at it's best. We recently had (October 2019) a full house and detached garage repainted by David Railton and his team. The results are exceptional, the attention to detail and workmanship was flawless and I don't say this lightly. The communication from our first meeting to the completion of work was without doubt the best we had dealt with during our renovations. I personally have a very high exception for quality and these guys well and truly exceeded it. An absolutely fabulous job, everything was prepared and completed professionally. I would highly recommend David and his team to anyone looking for clean, reliable and professional painters that deliver an exceptional finish. Thank you Dave and Norm for your professionalism, you made the whole process very easy. Jason & Jana.

    We've used Railton Painting and Decorating on a number of occasions and can honestly say that David and the team provide good old fashioned service and outstanding workmanship. It's rare these days you get a tradesman who comes on time, communicate throughout the entire process, does what they say they will do, and does so in a professional, courteous manner. It's nice in this day and age to still be able to find those values we all identify with as being decent Australian values, and that's exactly what we get with Railton. Have no hesitation recommending this business as we have consistently had good, quality work at prices that are more than fair and reasonable, over many years. 10 out of 10!

    After getting a quote for sprucing up the inside of our home, we decided on going with Railton Painting & Decorating. So glad we did! The guys did a wonderful job. I asked them to do a couple of extra things - which they were happy to do (nothing was too much trouble for them). Even though we had a tight budget, they were able to work with us to achieve an excellent job which we are really happy with. We would thoroughly recommend The guys as honest, reliable and highly skilled painters.

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.
Is Railton Painting & Decorating licensed?
Yes. Railton Painting & Decorating currently shows an active trade licence on SureQuote.
