Question 1

How much does painting cost in Eastern Cape?

Accepted Answer

In Eastern Cape, interior painting costs roughly R35–R75/m² and exterior R45–R95/m², including paint and labour. A full 3-bedroom repaint typically runs R18,000–R45,000. Damp-proofing is R120–R280/m². Always get the surface area measured for an accurate quote.

Question 2

How do I find a reliable painter in Eastern Cape?

Accepted Answer

Look for painters with public liability insurance, verifiable references, and a workmanship guarantee. Ask about surface prep — that's what makes a finish last. All painters on FlowLeads are vetted for insurance and references before acceptance.

Question 3

How long should a quality paint job last?

Accepted Answer

A properly prepped and painted interior lasts 5–10 years; exterior 5–8 years depending on sun and weather. Surface preparation and the right paint system matter most. A reputable painter provides a workmanship guarantee on top of the manufacturer's warranty.

Question 4

Can paint fix damp on my walls?

Accepted Answer

Damp-proof paint helps as part of a solution, but you must fix the source first — rising damp, penetrating damp, or condensation. Painting over active damp just traps moisture. A good painter or damp specialist diagnoses the cause before quoting.

Question 5

Do painters supply the paint?

Accepted Answer

Most painters quote for paint supplied and applied, which means they take responsibility for the finish. You can supply your own to control colour and brand, but then coverage usually isn't guaranteed. Confirm brand, sheen, and number of coats in writing upfront.
