Kitchen and bathroom painting / wall finishes Sydney

If you’ve ever looked at your kitchen or bathroom and thought, “This space could use a refresh,” you’re not alone. Renovating a room isn’t always about tearing out cabinets or replacing tiles. Sometimes, a high-quality kitchen and bathroom painting or wall finish in Sydney can completely transform the look, feel, and vibe of your home. That’s where MB9 Australia Pty Ltd comes in. We specialise in professional painting, decorative wall finishes, and surface treatments for kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry areas across Sydney, making sure your renovation not only looks amazing but also lasts for years.

Whether it’s a modern apartment in Surry Hills, a classic terrace in Paddington, or a family home in Neutral Bay, MB9 brings expertise, precision, and style to every wall we touch.

Why Painting and Wall Finishes Matter in Kitchens and Bathrooms

Painting might seem simple, but in spaces like kitchens and bathrooms, it requires special attention:

  • Moisture resistance: Bathrooms and kitchens face humidity, steam, and occasional splashes. The wrong paint can peel or discolour in months.

  • Durability: Walls take daily wear, especially near sinks, benchtops, and laundry areas.

  • Aesthetic impact: The right colour and finish can make a small space feel larger, brighter, and more inviting.

By combining high-quality paints, surface preparation, and expert techniques, MB9 ensures your walls not only look beautiful but also withstand everyday wear and tear.

MB9’s Approach to Kitchen and Bathroom Painting

A successful painting or wall finish project is more than just brushing paint on walls. MB9’s approach includes:

1. Surface Preparation

Good finishes start with great prep:

  • Cleaning walls to remove grease, soap residue, and dust.

  • Repairing cracks, holes, or uneven surfaces.

  • Applying primer or sealer for maximum adhesion and durability.

In older homes in Balmain or Marrickville, proper preparation prevents peeling and ensures modern finishes sit perfectly over aged surfaces.

2. Expert Colour Consultation

Choosing the right colour is critical. MB9 offers:

  • Guidance on colour palettes that complement your kitchen cabinetry, benchtops, and tiles.

  • Advice on finishes: matte, satin, semi-gloss, or gloss, depending on durability and moisture resistance.

  • Consideration of lighting, space size, and your personal style.

For example, a small bathroom in Surry Hills benefited from a light, satin finish, making the space feel brighter and easier to maintain.

3. High-Quality Paint and Finishes

We use premium paints and coatings designed for high-moisture environments:

  • Acrylic paints with anti-mould and mildew resistance.

  • Specialist bathroom and kitchen finishes that withstand heat, steam, and cleaning products.

  • Decorative textures or feature wall finishes for added style.

In a Bondi kitchen renovation, using a semi-gloss, washable paint ensured durability near the sink and stove while keeping cleaning easy.

4. Precision Application

MB9 painters are skilled in techniques that guarantee smooth, even coverage:

  • Multiple coats applied with attention to detail.

  • Clean lines around cabinetry, tiles, and trim.

  • Use of masking and protection to avoid spills on benchtops, floors, or appliances.

Even a small detail, like painting around a marble benchtop in Mosman, is handled with precision to achieve a flawless finish.

5. Feature Walls and Decorative Techniques

Beyond standard painting, MB9 offers:

  • Textured finishes for contemporary or industrial looks.

  • Feature walls to highlight cabinets, mirrors, or open shelving.

  • Custom colour blends for a unique, designer feel.

A bathroom in Paddington recently received a feature wall with a subtle, textured finish that became the room’s standout element, adding luxury without replacing any fixtures.

Real-Life Case Study: 

A family in Neutral Bay wanted to modernise their tired kitchen without a full renovation:

  • Colour consultation to choose a durable yet vibrant palette.

  • Surface prep and painting of walls, cabinetry trim, and ceiling.

  • Application of a moisture-resistant finish near the sink and stove.

The result? A fresh, contemporary kitchen that looked brand-new, with minimal disruption and a fraction of the cost of a full renovation.

Neighborhood-Specific Considerations

  • Eastern Suburbs (Bondi, Coogee, Bronte): Coastal humidity requires high-quality, moisture-resistant paints.

  • Inner West (Marrickville, Newtown, Enmore): Older homes need careful prep to handle aged plaster and heritage features.

  • North Shore (Mosman, North Sydney): Luxury finishes and high-end kitchens demand flawless application.

  • Inner City (Surry Hills, Redfern): Apartment renovations require efficient, clean work due to limited space and shared building access.

MB9’s local experience ensures every project adapts to these specific conditions for a durable and stylish result.

Common Challenges in Kitchen and Bathroom Painting

  • Steam and humidity: Bathrooms need mould-resistant coatings to prevent peeling and staining.

  • Tile and cabinet edges: Precise masking and cutting-in are required to avoid paint on surfaces.

  • Older surfaces: Cracks, uneven plaster, or paint layers need proper repair before painting.

  • High-use areas: Kitchens see frequent scrubbing and spills, requiring a washable, durable finish.

MB9 tackles these challenges with experience, ensuring your renovation maintains both form and function.

Benefits of Professional Painting & Wall Finishes

  • Enhanced aesthetics: Fresh paint instantly lifts the space and complements cabinetry, benchtops, and flooring.

  • Durability: Expert prep and high-quality coatings last longer than DIY paint jobs.

  • Hygiene and maintenance: Anti-mould and washable finishes make cleaning easier.

  • Added value: Professionally finished kitchens and bathrooms increase your home’s appeal and market value.

Even simple paint upgrades in Surry Hills apartments or Paddington terraces have a noticeable impact on the overall feel of a home.

Cost Considerations

Costs for kitchen and bathroom painting depend on:

  • Room size and number of walls/ceilings

  • Surface preparation needs (repairs, sanding, priming)
