## How to choose
- Ask for the exact paint product and grade (e.g. washable or anti-mould lines) and the number of coats in writing.
- Check what surface preparation is included: filling cracks, sanding, sealer undercoat for old or stained walls.
- Confirm whether ceilings, doors, grilles and gates are included, and the charge for extra colours or feature walls.
- Ask about protection of floors and furniture, and whether there is a surcharge if you stay in the flat while they paint.
- Request a short warranty for peeling or bubbling caused by workmanship.

## Red flags
- Quotes that do not name the paint brand or product line.
- No mention of surface preparation for a resale or water-stained flat.
- Very low prices achieved by watering down paint or applying a single coat.

## FAQs
### How much does it cost to paint a 4-room HDB flat?
Painting companies typically charge about $700–$1,000 to repaint a 4-room HDB flat in 2026, covering walls and ceilings with two coats. Using a premium washable paint, sealing stains in a resale flat or painting while you are living there can push the price higher. Paint manufacturers' own services quote around $2,200–$2,600.

### Do I need an HDB permit to paint my flat?
No. Painting the interior of your HDB flat does not require a permit or a DRC contractor. If painting is part of a larger renovation involving hacking or flooring, those works still need a DRC contractor and permit.

### How long does it take to repaint an HDB flat?
An empty 4-room flat is often painted in one to two days by a small crew. Occupied flats take longer because furniture must be moved and covered. Allow time for paint smells to dissipate, and choose low-VOC paints if you have young children or will move back in quickly.
