Estimates for typical Other AU metros jobs, including GST, supplied and installed. Your job could land anywhere on this range, or outside it.
- 01
Exterior repaints run 10 to 30% above interior on a per-m² basis because of the access, weather window, and tougher prep.

Two-storey Tamworth jobs almost always need a scaffold or boom. That's a $600 to $1,400 flat-fee line on top of the per-m² rate.
- 03
Roof painting is its own scope. A rough guide for a clean and 2 coats of acrylic is $30 to $50 per m².

Tamworth questions
Painting prices in Tamworth.
Quick answers on what paint jobs might cost in Tamworth. These are estimates, not quotes.
How much does a paint job cost in Tamworth?
A rough guide for Tamworth is about $8,150, with most estimates between $5,300 and $13,550. It covers an interior 3-bed repaint (~180m²), 2 coats with light prep inc GST. It's an estimate from regional prices, not local quote data. Every job is different. Larger spans, premium finishes and hard access push you toward the top end; straightforward swaps and standard specs sit near the bottom.
What affects the paint jobs price in Tamworth?
Five things move the number most: scope (size, span, thickness), material grade, site access (driveway, levels, parking for a truck), labour rate set by the crew you pick, and any compliance work specific to the Other AU metros council.
Are these prices including GST?
Yes. Every figure on this page is GST-inclusive, supplied and installed. A written quote from a GST-registered tradie should show the total including GST.
How quickly can I get a written quote for a paint job in Tamworth?
Most tradies can give you a written quote within a few days of seeing the job.
Do Tamworth paint jobs need council approval?
Residential repaints are exempt across NSW. The exception is heritage-overlay façades, where the colour scheme + paint type may need conservation-architect sign-off before work starts. If a permit or compliance check is needed, ask for it to be listed on the quote, so there are no surprise costs after the job starts.
