Let’s face it – repainting your home can make everything feel new again. Whether it’s your cozy HDB flat or a multi-storey house, a fresh coat of paint brightens your space, protects your walls, and boosts your home’s overall vibe. But let’s also be real: if you’re not careful, those painting costs can creep up fast. The good news? With a bit of smart planning and the right contractor, you can keep your budget in check without cutting corners. Here’s how to stretch every dollar when repainting your home in Singapore.
1. Know What You’re Painting – and Why
Start by narrowing down exactly what needs repainting. Are your living room walls faded? Is the bedroom looking a little dull? Or maybe just the ceilings need some love? Instead of jumping into a full repaint, assess which areas really need the work. This helps you save on materials and labour, and it keeps the project timeline short and sweet. Trust us – having a clear plan from the start saves more than just money.
2. Skip the Middlemen – Go Straight to the Pros
Here’s where many homeowners overspend without even knowing it: booking through agents or third-party platforms. The result? Extra charges and less direct communication. At B&B Painting Services Singapore, we keep things simple. Our painting packages start from just $190, with zero agent or referral fees. You deal directly with our experienced, friendly team – no markups, no middle layers, just quality service from start to finish.
3. Pick the Right Paint for the Right Place
Not every wall needs the most expensive paint on the shelf. For high-humidity areas like bathrooms and kitchens, yes – go for mold-resistant or easy-wash finishes. But for bedrooms or common areas, more cost-friendly options work just as well. The trick is using the right product for the right space. A good contractor (hi, that’s us) will guide you through the best value-for-money choices without upselling things you don’t need.
4. Consider Touch-Ups Instead of a Full Repaint
Sometimes, a full paint job isn’t necessary. If your walls are generally in good shape, a few well-blended touch-ups might be enough to breathe new life into your space. Think scuffed corners, patched holes, or one accent wall that needs a refresh. This simple tweak can give you that “freshly painted” look without the full project price tag.
5. Bundle Other Services for Better Value
Need plaster repairs? A bit of ceiling work? Thinking of removing a built-in? When you bundle related services together – like plastering, false ceiling installation, or hacking/demolition – you can often save on overall labour and logistics. At B&B Painting Services Singapore, we handle all these services in-house, so you get better coordination and even better pricing.
