Complete flat repainting for 3 room, 4 room, 5 room and executive flats designed for your family without the mess.
Built for HDB living
Singapore flats are busy. Kitchen walls are coated with grease film, bathroom walls are wet for hours at a time, and high-traffic corridors are scuffed from everyday use. A repaint that lasts begins with addressing those issues – degreasing and sealing as required, addressing mould-prone corners, and selecting washable, low-odour paints for an occupied home.
The City Painters will take care of the complete flat: ceiling, walls, door and door frame, gates and grilles. Furniture is moved and covered, floors are protected and at the end of each session the team cleans up so your home remains liveable throughout the job.
Scope of work
Every quotation follows a look at your flat's actual wall condition — no surprises added on painting day.
One clear vision for the full flat, from a 3 room to an executive sized one – all according to your layout. Same colour refresh or full colour change (including preparation, protection, and clean up).
Ceilings remain bright, walls read as one surface, water marks, hairline cracks and patchy old paint are treated prior to any colour being applied.
Timber doors and frames are treated with hard wearing enamel; metal gates and window grilles are de-rusted, primed and coated for years of good appearance.
The two most difficult rooms in any flat. Surfaces are pre-treated for removal of grease and dirt prior to painting, and a scrubbable system with moisture resistance is used to withstand the rigors of everyday use.
Black spots and damp patches that do not go away are investigated and treated (not painted over) to prevent reoccurrence with humidity.
Unsure between white families or accent tones? We advise on colours and sheens room by room, based on light, furniture and how each space is used.
Ceilings with peeling patches or exposed steel need spalling concrete repair before painting, and persistent damp patches may call for mould removal and anti-mould painting. Both are handled by the same team, in the same visit where possible.
Protection before paintOccupied homes
The majority of HDB repaints occur around the family, work-at-home environments and everyday activities. The job is sequenced so bedrooms are not all out of use at the same time and common rooms are never completely closed.
Paint systems
Paint is treated differently in various rooms. One system is selected for each surface based on the actual use of the room.
| Surface | What we apply | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Ceilings | Stain-blocking sealer + ceiling white emulsion | Covers old water marks and keeps ceilings bright without patchy flashing. |
| Living & bedroom walls | Washable, low-odour interior emulsion | Scuffs and marks wipe off; rooms are back in use the same day. |
| Kitchens & bathrooms | Anti-mould, moisture-tolerant system | Stands up to grease, steam and condensation without early peeling. |
| Doors & frames | Undercoat + interior enamel | A hard, cleanable film that takes daily knocks on timber. |
| Gates & grilles | Rust treatment + metal primer + enamel | Stops rust creeping back through the new finish. |

FAQ
The questions homeowners ask us most before booking a whole-flat repaint.
It depends on the flat size, wall condition and whether ceilings, doors, gates and grilles are included. Whole-flat repaints are quoted as one fixed price after a short assessment, so there are no surprises later. WhatsApp +65 8972 2172 with your flat type for a fast quote.
Most whole-flat repaints take one to three days. The exact schedule depends on flat size, wall condition and whether you are changing colours — dark-to-light changes need extra coats. We confirm the number of days in the quotation.
No. We paint room by room, shift and cover furniture as we go, and use low-odour paints, so the flat stays liveable throughout. Bedrooms are scheduled so they are ready to sleep in the same night.
Yes. Ceilings, walls, doors, door frames, metal gates and window grilles can all be included in one package — most customers take the full scope so the whole flat matches.
Yes. Mould is treated and stains are sealed with a stain-blocking primer before repainting. If the ceiling or wall has peeling concrete or exposed steel, we carry out spalling concrete repair first so the new paint has a sound base.
Inside the flat, yes — any interior colour is fine. Surfaces facing the common corridor or the building exterior follow the estate's colour scheme, and we will advise you on those during the assessment.
Yes. New BTO walls usually need only light preparation and two finish coats, or a sealer first where the developer's coating is chalky. Many owners book us right after key collection, before furniture arrives, for the fastest and cleanest result.
