Painting & Decorating Suppliers in eMalahleni

Interior 3-bed (~100m² wall area): R12,000–R22,000 including 2 coats premium paint. Full exterior: R25,000–R55,000 including pressure-wash, crack repair, and 2-coat system. Spec-grade paints (Plascon Cashmere, Dulux Weathershield) last 7–12 years; budget paints 2–4 years. Quotes should specify primer + topcoat brand and coverage area.

For exteriors: pressure-wash, fungicidal wash, crack repair with elastomeric filler, spot-prime over bare substrate, masking. For interiors: sanding, hole-filling, dust extraction, sugar-soap wash on kitchens/bathrooms. A R/m² quote without prep listed is almost always under-quoted — the labour to prep is 40–60% of the job.

Reputable painters offer 5–7 years on exterior systems and 3–5 years on interior — backed by the paint manufacturer's warranty (Plascon, Dulux, Prominent). The contractor's labour warranty is typically 12 months. Demand both warranties in writing. The paint can will tell you the manufacturer's product life under SANS 1071 conditions.
