A fresh coat of paint is one of the quickest ways to change how a home feels — but in Kuala Lumpur's humid climate, paint only lasts when the surface underneath is properly prepared. Peeling, bubbling, mould and patchy finishes are almost always preparation problems, not paint problems. Renovix provides interior and exterior painting services for homes, condos, offices and shops across the Klang Valley, with a preparation-first approach that protects your walls and your investment.
We handle the full job from start to finish: wall and surface preparation, crack repair, patching, putty and skim coat, primer, and the paint itself — including mould-resistant and waterproof paint options for problem areas. Whether you are repainting before moving in, refreshing a bedroom or living room, painting a shop front, or touching up after ceiling or wall repair work, we can advise on the right system for each surface.

Interior painting starts from RM1.20–RM2.50 per sqft basic and RM2.50–RM4.00 per sqft full service with paint in 2026. Exterior starts from RM1.50 psf basic and RM3.00–RM4.50 premium. Small apartment 500–800 sqft from RM1,500, terrace 1000–1500 sqft RM1,500–RM2,500, semi-D RM3,000–RM5,000, full house 20x70 package RM3,500–RM7,000. Final price depends on wall condition, paint brand, colours and height.
Interior painting includes surface cleaning, light sanding, crack filling, primer and 2 coats of mid-range emulsion paint with masking and protection. Takes 2–4 days for 1000 sqft. Premium paints like Nippon, Jotun and Dulux, anti-mould treatment RM300–800 and major wall repairs are quoted separately.
Small apartment 2–3 days, terrace 3–5 days interior and 4–7 days full house, semi-D/bungalow 5–8 days interior. Single wall touch-up half day to 1 day. Exterior terrace 3–6 days weather dependent. Drying 2–4 hours between coats.
You can, but our full service includes premium paints (Nippon, Jotun, Dulux) in the price from RM3.50 per sqft, so you don't need to estimate quantity. If you supply paint, labour-only work is quoted by size and wall condition, and you carry risk of over/under ordering.
Service Overview
Painting is 70% preparation and 30% paint. We spend the time on the surface so the finish lasts.
For repainting and interior work, we start by assessing the walls — checking for cracks, damp, mould, and loose or peeling paint. Damaged areas are repaired, patched and sanded; where a smooth finish is wanted, putty or skim coat is applied before primer. Only then does the paint go on, in the number of coats the surface actually needs. The result is a finish that looks even and stays that way.
For exteriors, the considerations are different: weather exposure, sun, rain and humidity all affect paint life. We prepare exterior surfaces to handle these conditions and can advise on paints suited to exterior use. We also do specialist work such as feature walls, accent walls, spray painting, and painting of doors, grilles and metal surfaces — coordinated with metal works where relevant.

Problems We Solve
Most wall problems show up as paint problems. These are the issues we prepare and repaint most often.
Paint lifting from walls — usually a sign of moisture behind the surface or poor preparation.
Black or green mould growth in humid, poorly ventilated areas — treated and repainted with suitable paint.
Cracks that keep reappearing after repainting because they were never properly repaired.
Uneven colour and texture caused by thin coats, poor coverage or unprimed surfaces.
Stains from past leaks — sealed and painted after the source of the leak is dealt with.
Exterior walls that have faded, chalked or flaked under sun and rain exposure.
These guides explain the causes, warning signs and practical solutions for the issues this service handles.

FAQs
Straight answers to the questions customers ask us most about this service.
Painting is priced by what the surface needs before any paint goes on. Walls that are sound and only need cleaning and sanding sit at the bottom of the per-sqft range; walls that need scraping, crack filling or skim coating carry real preparation work first. Grade is the second dial — standard emulsion, washable, anti-mould or premium lines like Jotun and Dulux each cost more per coat. Full service with paint starts from RM2.50 psf interior, and a quick site assessment decides which prep and grade combination applies before a figure is quoted.
A single room can often be completed in a day or two, while a full house interior takes longer depending on size, preparation needs and the number of coats. We give a realistic schedule before starting.
Peeling and bubbling are almost always caused by moisture behind the wall or insufficient surface preparation — not the paint itself. The affected area needs to be addressed and properly prepared before repainting.
If the old paint is sound and well-adhered, yes — after cleaning and light sanding. If it is flaking or failing, the loose paint should be removed first. We assess the surface and advise on the right approach.
Putty is used to fill and smooth small imperfections, while a skim coat is a thin overall layer applied to achieve a uniformly smooth surface. Both are preparation steps that improve the final finish.
The mould is cleaned, the affected area is treated, and the underlying moisture issue is addressed before repainting with a mould-resistant paint system. Painting over mould without treatment does not last.
Each has its place: spraying is efficient for suitable large surfaces, while rolling is common for interior walls and offers good control. We recommend the best method for your surface and finish.
