Patch and Paint a Room or Two
Not every job needs a full house repaint. Often it’s one room after a repair, a hallway full of scuffs, or a bedroom that needs freshening up before guests arrive or the house goes on the market. I patch the holes and dents first, sand them smooth and prime the repairs, then paint the wall to the corners. That gives an even finish with no patch lines showing in natural light.
I’ve been a licensed painter (NSW) for over 30 years, and I ran my own building company for 15 years before starting SURVE. So I know what sits under the paint: how to seal water stains and treat mould so they don’t bleed back through, which primer suits bare plaster, timber or old enamel, and how to cut in clean, straight lines against ceilings and trims.
- Holes, dents and cracks repaired before painting
- Walls painted to the corners for an even finish
- Floors and furniture covered with drop sheets
- Neat cut-in lines at ceilings, skirting and frames
- Site left clean at the end of the job
Ceilings, Woodwork and Small Painting Jobs
I focus on small painting jobs: the ones too small for a painting crew that still need to be done properly. If something needs repairing before it’s painted, I do that too, so you only need one person for the whole job.

Highly recommend! A highly skilled, professional handyman with a building background who provides excellent service!! As a female property owner with no handyman skills, I assembled my new dining set and attempted to put new light bulbs in my bunker lights on my balconies. My dining table and chairs the are now perfectly sturdy and safe, and the light bulbs are installed for my bunker balcony outdoor lights 🙏Posted on Google![]()

I contacted Surve after reading the positive reviews. We required a quick turnaround on various jobs at an empty investment property. Dan and Sue went out of their way to accommodate such a late notice request even working weekends to fit us in. Their communication was great, the itemised invoice and photos were very beneficial as we don't live close by and rely heavily on communication, photos and a professional operator. Highly recommended.Posted on Google![]()

Dan was the best. Not only was his work top quality, he communicated everything clearly and was a joy to have in the house. Sue was also great with prompt responses and booking queries. I can't recommend Surve Property Maintenance highly enough. They will be the first to call next time I need something.Posted on Google![]()

Frequently Asked Questions About Small Painting Jobs
Do you paint whole houses?
I focus on smaller jobs: a room or two, ceilings, doors and woodwork, and painting after repairs. For a full interior or exterior repaint, a painting company is usually the better fit.
Can you fix the damage before painting?
Yes. Holes, dents, cracks and damaged plasterboard are repaired first so the room is ready to paint. One person looks after the whole job.
Can you paint a mouldy ceiling?
Yes. I clean and treat the mould, let it dry, seal any stains with a stain-blocking primer and then repaint. If mould keeps coming back there is usually a cause, such as a leak or poor ventilation, and that needs fixing first. A leak needs a plumber or roofer, and I’ll tell you if I see signs of one.
Will the new paint match my existing colour?
If you have the paint tin or the colour name, I’ll use that. Touch-ups on older or sun-faded walls often stand out, so I paint the whole wall to the corners for an even finish.
Do you paint doors, handrails and window frames?
Yes. Doors, frames, skirting, handrails, window frames and timber gates are sanded, filled where needed and repainted.
How much does a small painting job cost?
It depends on the size of the area, how much prep is needed and the paint. You’ll know the price before I start.
