HDB Painting Services That Make Your Home Feel New Again
Painting may look like a simple job, but a good result depends on much more than putting paint on a wall.
HDB flats come with different room sizes, corners, wall conditions and ceiling heights. Some walls have old paint, stains or small cracks, while others need more preparation before a fresh coat can go on. That is why our team checks the condition of each surface before starting.
We do not simply cover old problems with new paint. Where suitable, we clean the surface, scrape off loose paint, carry out minor repairs, sand uneven areas and apply primer where required. The goal is a neat, even finish without making the process difficult for you.
From a simple room refresh to partial repainting or a full HDB flat painting project, HomeFixSG provides HDB interior painting in Singapore based on your flat's actual condition and your budget.

What Is HDB Painting?
HDB painting means painting the interior walls, ceilings and other surfaces of an HDB flat. It covers everything from a single-room refresh to a full repaint of a 3-room, 4-room, 5-room or Executive flat.
It is more than applying colour. A proper HDB painting service Singapore homeowners can trust includes surface checking, cleaning, crack filling, sanding, priming and neat paint application.
HDB walls are usually cement plaster or concrete. Over the years, they can develop hairline cracks, stains, uneven patches and layers of old paint. Each of these affects how the new paint looks and how long it lasts.
HDB flat owners can also read the HDB renovation guidelines to understand the general rules for renovation works in HDB flats.
Why Is HDB Painting Important?
- It protects your walls. Paint forms a protective layer on the surface. It helps walls resist everyday marks, scuffs and cleaning.
- It refreshes the whole home. Fresh paint makes a flat look cleaner, brighter and better maintained.
- It helps in humid weather. Singapore's humidity can cause dull, stained or damp-marked walls over time. Regular repainting helps you spot and deal with problems early.
- It supports move-in, sale and rental. A fresh repaint is one of the simplest ways to prepare a resale flat, a BTO unit or a rental property.
- It saves money in the long run. Repainting when the walls first show wear is often cheaper than repairing badly peeling or damaged surfaces later.
HDB Painting Services We Provide
HomeFixSG offers painting solutions for different needs and budgets. You can repaint the whole flat or just the areas that need attention.
HDB Interior Painting Singapore
We paint interior walls and ceilings in living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, hallways and study rooms.
Before painting, we check each surface for stains, cracks, loose paint and uneven areas. Then we prepare it properly.
HDB Repainting Singapore
Old paint does not always need to be stripped off. In most cases, the surface can be prepared and repainted.
Loose or peeling areas are scraped, small cracks are filled, and rough patches are sanded before new paint goes on.
HDB Touch-Up Painting
Scuffs, small marks and minor paint damage can be touched up without repainting the whole room.
Results depend on the age of the existing paint, since older paint may have changed shade. We will tell you honestly what can be achieved.
Move-In and Move-Out Painting
Moving into a BTO or resale flat? Painting before your furniture arrives is easier and cleaner.
Landlords can also repaint between tenants to keep the unit looking fresh.
HDB Room Painting
Need to paint just one bedroom or the living room? Room painting lets you update one space at a time and control your budget.
HDB Wall Painting Singapore
Walls make up most of what you see in a room. Our HDB wall painting Singapore service suits full-flat repaints, feature walls and single-wall colour changes.
Common HDB Painting Problems We Handle
Faded or Discoloured Walls
Sunlight, cleaning and age cause uneven fading. A repaint brings back a consistent colour across the room.
Peeling Paint
Peeling paint must be scraped off and the surface prepared first. Painting over it only leads to more peeling.
If moisture is causing the peeling, the source should be fixed before repainting.
Wall Stains and Marks
Furniture, cooking, children and pets can leave marks. Some can be cleaned, while others need stain-blocking primer before painting.
Cracks and Surface Damage
Hairline cracks and small dents can be filled and sanded before painting.
Painting does not fix structural cracks. Large or growing cracks should be assessed separately.
Mould and Damp Marks
Mould needs to be cleaned and the moisture source resolved before repainting.
If there is active leakage or a waterproofing issue, that should be repaired first. Otherwise, the new paint will not last.
Uneven or Layered Old Paint
Older flats may have several layers of paint with visible ridges or patches. Sanding and priming help create a smoother, more even finish.
Choosing the Right Paint for HDB Walls
We use Nippon Paint for HDB interior painting. Most HDB walls and ceilings suit water-based emulsion, which dries quickly and has a lower odour than oil-based paint.
Matt finish:
hides small wall imperfections and gives a soft, modern look. Popular for living rooms and bedrooms.
Low-sheen or washable finish:
easier to wipe clean. Suitable for hallways, kitchens and homes with children or pets.
Ceiling paint:
designed to give an even, flat look with less glare.
Anti-mould paint:
can add extra protection in humid areas, but it does not replace fixing a leak or damp problem.
We can advise on the right Nippon Paint option based on the room, the wall condition and your budget.
HDB Painting for Different Rooms
Living room: the most visible space in your flat. Neutral tones keep it flexible, while a feature wall adds character.
Bedrooms: softer, calmer colours work well. We can work around your furniture.
Kitchen: walls face heat, cooking marks and frequent cleaning. A washable finish is often a practical choice.
Bathroom ceilings: can be repainted when the surface is sound and there is no ongoing leakage.
Hallways and corridors: high-traffic areas that pick up marks quickly. Repainting makes the whole home feel more consistent.
HDB Painting for Different Flat Types
3-Room HDB: a smaller painting area, but preparation still matters. Choose a full repaint or selected rooms.
4-Room HDB: more wall and ceiling area, so the cost depends on how many rooms you include and the wall condition.
5-Room HDB: needs more paint, preparation time and manpower. Pricing depends on the rooms, ceilings and prep work.
Executive and larger flats: larger scope, so we recommend an assessment before quoting.
BTO flats: usually cleaner walls, so painting is mainly about colour choice and finishing.
Resale flats: often need more preparation because of older paint, marks or small cracks.
When Should You Repaint Your HDB Flat?
There is no fixed schedule. Look at your walls instead. It may be time to repaint when:
If only one or two rooms need work, partial repainting may be enough.
- Paint looks faded, dull or patchy
- Walls have stains, scuffs or marks
- Paint is peeling or bubbling
- You are moving into a resale flat or BTO
- You are preparing the flat for sale or rental
- You want a new colour or a cleaner look
How Our HDB Painting Process Works
Inspect: we check the walls and ceilings for stains, cracks, loose paint and uneven areas.
Plan the scope: we agree on the rooms, colours and preparation needed.
Protect: floors, furniture and fittings are covered or moved where needed.
Prepare: we scrape, fill, sand and clean the surfaces.
Prime: primer is applied where the surface needs it.
Paint: finishing coats are applied neatly and evenly.
Inspect and clean up: we check for missed spots, touch up and clear the work area.
How We Prepare HDB Walls Before Painting
Good preparation decides how the final finish looks. Depending on wall condition, it may include:
Cleaning dust and dirt
Scraping loose or peeling paint
Filling small cracks and holes
Sanding uneven areas
Spot-priming repaired or stained areas
Full priming where required
Walls in good condition need less prep. Walls with old layers, stains or damage need more.
How Long Does HDB Painting Take?
Most HDB painting jobs take 1 to 7 days, depending on flat size and how much preparation the walls need.
| Flat Type / Scope | Estimated Time |
|---|---|
| Touch-up or single room | About 1 day |
| 2-room HDB | 1-2 days |
| 3-room HDB | 2-3 days |
| 4-room HDB | 3-4 days |
| 5-room HDB | 4-5 days |
| Executive / larger flat | 5-7 days |
Timing can be longer if the walls need extra crack filling, sanding or priming, or if you are changing from a dark to a light colour. We confirm the exact schedule after checking your flat.
HDB Painting Cost in Singapore
The HDB painting cost Singapore homeowners pay depends on flat size, number of rooms, wall condition, paint type, number of coats and extra preparation work.

The service is good with very fast response for my water heater leaking issue. They immediately arranged for someone to come down today for the replacement. The price is reasonable too. The technician was skilled and professional as well. The replacement process was quite tough and not easy, but they handled it very well. Will definitely recommend their service.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to paint an HDB flat in Singapore?
Small painting jobs start from around S$80, and a 4-room full interior repaint starts from around S$320. The final cost depends on flat size, wall condition, paint type, number of coats and preparation work.
How long does it take to paint an HDB flat?
A single room takes about 1 day, a 3-room flat 2-3 days, a 4-room flat 3-4 days and a 5-room flat 4-5 days. The time depends on preparation, number of coats and drying, and we confirm the exact timeline after checking your flat.
How often should I repaint my HDB flat?
Repaint when walls look faded, stained, cracked or peeling, or when you move into a resale flat.
Can I paint only one room in my HDB flat?
Yes, we can paint a single bedroom, the living room or any area that needs it. This is a practical option when only one room is faded or damaged and you want to control your budget.
Can you paint over peeling paint?
Not directly. Peeling paint should be scraped off and the surface prepared first, otherwise the new paint may peel again.
What paint brand do you use for HDB painting?
We use Nippon Paint for HDB walls and ceilings. We can recommend a suitable finish, such as matt or washable, based on the room and your budget.
Can you paint over mouldy walls?
Not until the mould is cleaned and treated. If dampness or a leak is the cause, that must be repaired first, or the mould will return.
Do HDB walls need primer before painting?
Sometimes. Primer helps on repaired, stained or poorly bonded surfaces, and we apply it where the wall condition needs it.
How many coats of paint does an HDB flat need?
Usually two finishing coats. More may be needed when changing from a dark colour to a lighter one, or when covering stains.
Should I paint before or after moving in?
Before, it was easier and cleaner, because the rooms are empty. You can finish the walls and ceilings first, then arrange your furniture.
Can landlords repaint between tenants?
Yes. Repainting refreshes walls and ceilings and improves the look of the unit for the next tenant.
Do you paint ceilings too?
Yes. Ceilings can be painted together with the walls or on their own, depending on your scope.
Can you repaint an old HDB flat?
Yes. Older flats may need extra preparation for cracks, stains or multiple layers of old paint before repainting.
How can I get an HDB painting quotation in Singapore?
Call or email HomeFixSG with your flat type, the rooms to paint and the wall condition. We will provide a quotation based on your actual scope.
