How much does it cost to repaint a bedroom in Metro Manila?

A typical bedroom has about 40 to 50 square metres of wall. At AEDO's 2026 repaint range of ₱180 to ₱330 per square metre, that comes to roughly ₱7,200 to ₱16,500 before any extra patching. A full system on new plaster costs more, at ₱270 to ₱440 per square metre. Those are planning figures, so compare at least two itemised quotes.

Usually not. Two topcoats over a proper primer give even colour and a longer life. A single coat can look patchy over old paint, and a dark colour over a light one often needs extra coats. Ask the painter how many coats the quote includes.

Why does paint peel after a few months?

Peeling usually means moisture behind the wall, dust or grease on the surface when it was painted, or fresh paint over a loose old coat. Check for leaks or damp patches before repainting. The painter should scrape and seal the area first, otherwise the new coat can fail as well.

Can painting be done during the rainy season?

Exterior painting should wait for dry weather, since paint needs a dry surface to bond. Interior work is less affected, but damp walls from a leak should be fixed first. In the rainy season, ask the painter how long the paint needs to dry before the next coat.

Does the price include paint?

It depends on the quote. AEDO's per-square-metre bands include paint and labour, but many local painters quote labour only and bill paint separately. Ask which one applies before you agree, and whether the brand and sheen are fixed in the quote.

Are paint odours a problem in condos?

They can be. Solvent paints, enamel, and varnish smell strongly for days. Many condos limit these products to set hours or ask owners to use water-based paint. Ask the admin for the rule before buying materials, and open windows during the work where the building allows it.

About the job

About painting in Metro Manila

Painting in Metro Manila is priced mostly by wall area, not floor area. A 4 by 5 metre bedroom has about 20 square metres of floor but close to 50 square metres of wall at a standard ceiling height. A repaint over sound paint costs much less than a full system on new plaster, which needs primer, putty, sanding, and two topcoats. Ask the pintor (painter) which of the two the quote covers, because the gap in price is large.

Condos add their own rules. Many buildings allow painting only during weekday office hours and require a work permit before the first day. Oil-based paints, enamel, and varnish give off a strong smell for days, so some admins limit them to set hours or ask owners to use water-based (latex) paint. Ask for the paint type in writing and tell the building before the crew arrives.

What is included

Covering and protection of floors, furniture, switches, and the area around the air-conditioning unit
Scraping of loose or flaking paint and patching of small cracks and holes
Sanding and cleaning of the surface to remove dust and grease
Primer on bare or patched areas, and two topcoats on the walls
Masking and cutting-in of edges around ceilings, windows, and doors
Removal of paint spills and cleanup of tools and empty cans
A quote that states whether paint, primer, putty, and labour are included

How it works

How booking painting works

01
Send the room sizes, the wall condition, and photos of any cracks or stains. Say whether you want a repaint or a full system on new plaster.
02
Ask for a price per square metre of wall, with paint, primer, and labour listed separately. A lump-sum quote should still state the area it covers.
03
Check the building's paint and work permit rules, then book the crew for the weekday hours the admin approves. Taskly taskers are verified with ID and NBI checks before they take jobs.
04
Inspect the walls in daylight before the crew leaves. Look for lap marks, missed edges, and drips on the trim, and point them out while the painter is still on site.

Before you book

Tips for booking painting

Ask whether the surface needs a stain-blocking primer. Water stains and mold bleed through a plain topcoat, so a plain primer on its own will not hold them.
Test the colour on a patch of wall before buying. Strong daylight in Metro Manila can make a soft showroom shade look harsh on a large wall.
Paint during the drier months from December to May when possible. Damp plaster holds water that causes flaking later, and paint takes longer to dry in the rainy season.
Keep paint and thinner away from heat sources and out of reach of children, and store leftover paint in a sealed can for touch-ups.
Booked through Taskly, card payment is held until the job is done. If the job isn't done as agreed, report it within 7 days and Taskly arranges a free redo, or refunds the held payment if it can't be fixed.
