Cost guide
Plan Your Apartment Painting Budget with the Scope in View.
A BHK label helps begin the estimate. Wall condition, ceiling area, occupied status, paint selection and preparation determine the real project cost.
Quick answer
How much does it cost to paint a 1BHK, 2BHK or 3BHK in Bangalore?
Apartment painting cost cannot be determined by BHK alone. The estimate changes with paintable area, wall condition, ceiling scope, surface preparation, paint category, colour changes and whether the apartment is occupied. Use BHK as a starting point, then confirm the cost through measurement and inspection.
Why BHK estimates vary
A compact 3BHK can have less paintable area than a large 2BHK. Full-height windows, wardrobes, open layouts, ceiling designs and balcony areas also change the scope. The condition of the existing walls often affects the budget more than the number of rooms.
Scope by apartment size
1BHK
A typical scope may include a living area, bedroom, kitchen, passages and ceilings. The main choices are whether every room needs repainting, whether ceilings are included and how much wall preparation is necessary. Best for rental refreshes, move-in painting and selective upgrades.
2BHK
Usually involves more furniture coordination, more colour transitions and a larger preparation area. Customers often combine a neutral base across the home with one or two feature walls. Best for occupied-home repainting and complete interior refreshes.
3BHK
Benefits from room-wise planning. Work can be sequenced to keep parts of an occupied home usable, while maintaining colour consistency across common areas. Best for full-home repainting and phased execution.

Occupied versus vacant apartments
Vacant apartments generally allow continuous access to rooms. Occupied apartments require a sequence for furniture movement, masking, daily cleanup and drying. This affects project planning and may affect the quotation.
Fresh paint versus repainting
New walls require a system suited to the plaster condition and builder finish. Repainting requires a check for adhesion, chalking, cracks, stains and compatibility with the existing paint.

Frequently asked questions
Can you quote using only the BHK size?
We can use it to begin the conversation, but a reliable quotation needs the approximate paintable area, wall condition and agreed scope.
Can I paint only selected rooms?
Yes. A room-wise scope can be more practical when only certain areas need attention or when the budget is phased.
Is the ceiling included in apartment painting?
It should be stated separately in the quotation. Some customers repaint all ceilings; others include only areas with marks or colour mismatch.
Can you paint while we live in the apartment?
Yes, subject to access and scope. The work can be planned room by room with protection and a daily handover routine.
