4–9 daysTypical job

Repainting a house you are still living in.

Most repaints fail because of what was underneath, not what went on top. We test the wall before we quote it.

The short answer

What repainting costs in Bengaluru.

Interior repainting in Bengaluru costs ₹18 to ₹38 per square foot of wall area, including putty, primer and two topcoats. A 2 BHK typically runs ₹32,000–₹70,000. Repainting is cheaper than fresh painting only when the existing surface is sound.

What matters here

Why repaints fail.

Almost never the paint. Almost always the wall under it.

01

Damp has to be found first

A patch that keeps returning is a leak, not a paint failure. We meter-test suspect walls before quoting, because painting over active damp wastes your money within a year.

02

Chalking old paint must come off

Rub a finger on an old distemper wall — if it powders, nothing will bond to it. That surface needs scraping back, and a quote that does not mention it is not a real quote.

03

Preparation is 60% of the labour

Scraping, filling, two coats of putty and sanding takes longer than the painting. A crew that finishes a 2 BHK in three days did not do this part.

04

You are living in it

Full sheeting, taped floors, one or two rooms at a time, and cleaned at the end of each day. Repainting an occupied home is as much logistics as it is painting.

How we do it

The parts that decide whether it lasts.

Every failure we get called to fix started with one of these being skipped.

Two coats of putty, properly sanded

Wall putty fills the pinholes that make a finished wall look patchy under evening light. One coat rushed is the most common corner cut.

Primer that matches the topcoat system

Using a cheap primer under a premium emulsion voids the paint warranty and costs you a third coat. We use the same manufacturer's system throughout.

Manufacturer dilution, measured

Over-thinning stretches a bucket further and thins your coverage. Our teams dilute by measure, not by eye.

Furniture covered, floors protected

Full sheeting, taped edges, and a cleaned site at the end of each day. You are living in the house while we work.

Step by step

A repaint, done in the right order.

Room by room, so you always have somewhere to sleep.

Survey and scope

A site visit that records what is actually there — not what the plan says. Old buildings hide surprises and we would rather find them before quoting.

Sequenced plan

Civil, plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, then finishes. Renovation goes wrong when trades overlap in the wrong order.

Execution

One project manager, one WhatsApp group, daily photographs. You always know what happened on site that day.

Handover

Snag list closed in writing, debris removed, and every warranty document handed over together.

Good questions

Questions worth asking first.

Interiors every 4–6 years with a quality emulsion, kitchens and bathrooms sooner. If you are repainting more often than that, the cause is usually surface preparation or damp rather than the paint.

By wall area, not floor area. As a rule of thumb, wall area is roughly 3 to 3.5 times your carpet area. We measure the actual walls, so the number in the quote is the number you pay.

Not honestly. Any paint over active damp will bubble and stain again within months. We meter-test the wall, find the source — usually a bathroom on the other side or an external wall junction — and fix that first.

No. We work one or two rooms at a time, sheet everything, and clean daily. Most families stay throughout. Low-VOC paints are worth the small premium if anyone in the house has asthma.

Between 4 and 9 days depending on surface condition. If a crew quotes you three days for a full 2 BHK, they are skipping putty and sanding — which is exactly the part that makes the finish last.
