Painting
Most painters will roll a coat on and leave. Getting a finish that actually lasts — one that looks right under direct light, matches the rest of the room, and doesn't need redoing in eighteen months — takes proper prep.
4P Collective handles painting end to end. That means surface assessment, filling and sanding, priming, and a finish that holds. And because our team also does plastering, we can patch a wall and paint it in a single visit — no coordinating two separate tradies, no waiting weeks between jobs.

What Painting Jobs We Handle
We specialise in residential painting across inner-east and northern Melbourne. The jobs we do most:
Interior painting — full-room repaints, ceilings, and feature walls. Two coats minimum, right sheen for the right surface: matte for ceilings, low-sheen for walls, semi-gloss for trims.
Patch and paint — when a wall or ceiling has been repaired — after a plumber’s work, an impact, or a knock — we handle the complete surface restoration. Plaster, prime, and paint in one visit so the repair disappears.

Exterior painting — weatherboard, render, fences, gates, and fascia. We prep the surface properly — sand, fill, prime — before any paint goes on. Proper prep is what separates a two-year finish from a ten-year finish.
Pre-sale and rental make-good — property selling or changing tenants? We assess what needs freshening, quote a fixed price, and turn it around fast. We work directly with homeowners, property managers, and real estate agents.
Colour refresh and accent walls — updating one room without a full repaint. We colour-match to your existing paint or help you choose a new direction.
We work in houses, apartments, and terrace homes across South Yarra, Toorak, Malvern, Prahran, Armadale, Brighton, Fitzroy, and surrounds.
The Prep That Makes the Finish
The most common painting mistake is skipping prep. Fill a hole, throw a coat on, done — until it shows through in the light.
Our team works to a proper standard. Before any brush or roller touches a wall, every imperfection is filled, dried, and sanded flush. Bare plaster, repairs, and stain-prone areas get a primer coat. We don’t quote single-coat jobs on walls that need two.
Because we also do plastering, if a repair needs more than a basic fill — a post-plumber patch, a cracked or dented plasterboard panel — we do that first and paint over it in the same visit. You’re not waiting for a second tradie, and you’re not coordinating two different schedules.
What Our Customers Say
“Hunter, Ben and Rodney did a very good job with home renovations, including plastering, repairs and painting. Hunter also identified and investigated unexpected issues with the house that required immediate attention, as well as make good recommendations as to how to proceed. He was flexible with changing circumstances — friendly, knowledgeable and very hardworking.”
“Had a great result with Hunter and Geoff. Patching up holes in the wall due to sockets being moved and then repainting the walls. Most importantly the areas were left very clean and tidy.”
“4P Collective were professional and extremely helpful. Had them come out to patch and paint over a hole in the wall. Ben was polite and completed the job effectively — would highly recommend to anyone who needs around the house repairs or more.”

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does interior painting cost in Melbourne?
A single room repaint typically costs $300–$600 depending on size, ceiling height, and prep required. Patch-and-paint jobs start from around $250. We give you a fixed price before we start — no hourly surprises.
Do you paint and plaster in the same visit?
Yes. Our team handles both. If you have a plaster repair that needs painting, we do it all in one visit — plaster, prime, and paint. You don’t need to book two separate tradies.
Can you match my existing wall colour?
Yes. We colour-match using your existing paint tin or by taking a swatch from the wall. For full repaints, we can help you choose a direction if needed.
How long does interior painting take?
Most single-room jobs take 3–5 hours including prep. Larger spaces, high ceilings, or heavy prep work may take a full day. We’ll tell you upfront.

Yes. We do a significant amount of work in apartments across inner-east Melbourne — South Yarra, Toorak, Prahran, Malvern and surrounds. We’re familiar with body corporate requirements and work quietly and cleanly.

Yes — weatherboard, render, fences, gates, and fascia. Exterior jobs are weather-dependent; we’ll plan around the forecast.
