    Where do I start, I can’t reccomend Thorburn painting enough. I approached them once purchasing my new property about a repaint. We confirmed a date and all was well. Not only did Scott ( director ) of the company call me letting me know we could bring my job forward they also completed the job a day less then what he thought and with not one fine detail missed. My new house was originally built in 2009 and it looks like I just got handover from a builder now. The photos don’t really do it enough justice but I am 200% glad I chose Thorburn’s painting

My house looks 100% better due to their skill and efforts. The house is very high and tricky but Scott and his team solved any issues creatively and with professionalism. Scott is reliable and always on time. I would highly recommend Thorburn Painting for all your painting needs. A very happy customer! Louise Bauer.

    Scott and his team from Thorburn Painting came and painted the entire interior of our 4 bedroom, 2 story house last week in just 4 days. The results are amazing! Great friendly and polite service. The quality of their work is excellent with every attention to detail paid to areas that required filling before painting that I can no longer see where they were. They work efficiently with every respect paid to keeping the house clean as possible. Great team, excellent results and we are very happy and would highly recommend them to anyone. Thanks Scott and Team!

    Scott Thorburn and his team of three very professional painters recently completed repainted our two-story home at Moffat Beach including the roof, garage double panel door, solid house doors retaining walls and block and rendered dividing walls. Scott was an absolutely delight to deal with from the time he presented at our home to provide an estimate of costs until the contract was completed. The painting with the team of four delightful painters was completed in seven work days. The majority of surfaces were painted in two coats of paint with some surfaces being painted in three coats of paint. Scott and his team were clearly always prepared to please and when asked always took the time to explain any painting process. My wife Wendy and I were delighted to have Scott and his team work on our home and we are both extremely pleased with the completed work. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Scott and his team for any painting contracts.

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.
