How Much Does It Cost to Paint a 2BHK Flat in Mumbai?
The Cost of Refreshing Your Home
A fresh coat of paint is the most cost-effective way to completely transform the vibe of your home. But how much should you budget for painting a standard 600-800 sq. ft. 2BHK in Mumbai?
Step 1: Surface Preparation (The Civil Work)
If your walls have dampness or peeling, painting directly over them is a waste of money. You first need plaster repair and waterproofing. Once fixed, 2 coats of wall putty and 1 coat of primer are applied to create a glass-smooth surface. Cost of Putty + Primer: ₹15 to ₹25 per sq. ft.
Step 2: Choosing the Paint
- Distemper / Tractor Emulsion: Best for rental properties. Highly affordable but not washable. Cost (Material + Labor): ₹12 - ₹18 per sq. ft.
- Premium Washable Emulsion (e.g., Apcolite): Great for average homes. Easy to wipe off minor stains. Cost: ₹20 - ₹28 per sq. ft.
- Luxury Paint (e.g., Royale, Velvet Touch): Gives a rich, soft-sheen finish and is highly durable. Cost: ₹35 - ₹55 per sq. ft.
Total Estimate
For a standard 2BHK, the total surface area to be painted (walls + ceiling) is roughly 3 times the carpet area. So, for a 700 sq. ft. flat, the paint area is ~2100 sq. ft. A good quality washable paint job will cost around ₹45,000 to ₹60,000.
