Good to know

Questions we hear often.

Do you bring your own paint and equipment?

Yes. We arrive with quality paint, brushes, rollers, drop sheets, and ladders. If you have a specific paint or colour in mind, let us know and we'll work with it.

How long does a typical job take?

Each service is a full-day job — roughly 8 hours from start to finish. Larger homes or multiple rooms may need more days, which we confirm with you before starting.

Do you handle surface preparation?

Always. We clean, sand, and treat surfaces before any paint goes on. For exteriors and roofs, that includes rust treatment and proper prep so the coating holds up to the weather.

Can you fix damp or waterproofing issues?

Yes. We treat damp walls and apply a waterproof coating that blocks moisture from coming back — a proper fix, not a cover-up.

Which areas in Johannesburg do you cover?

We work across Johannesburg and surrounds. Send us your suburb and we'll confirm we can get to you — most of the metro is within reach.

What customers say

Real reviews from real customers

Budget bu did an amazing job with our interior wall painting and finished way faster than I expected. The team left the place spotless, so I'm very happy with the results.

Nadia E.

I was really impressed by the quality of work for such a great price. They give you true value for money without cutting any corners.

Tebogo Y.

The painters were super friendly, punctual, and made the whole process completely stress-free from start to finish. It was an absolute pleasure dealing with them.

Mpho A.

They helped fix our leaking roof with some solid waterproofing and the work has held up brilliantly through the rain. Highly recommend Budget bu to anyone in Johannesburg.
