Texture Coating, Adelaide
Texture coating is the smart refresh — a coloured-through, acrylic-based textured finish that hides imperfections and gives an existing home a clean, modern look without re-rendering from scratch.
Refresh, not re-render
Not every wall needs a full re-render. If the existing render or paintwork is sound but tired, a texture coating goes straight over the top — covering blemishes, evening out the surface, and resetting the colour in one go. It’s faster and easier on the budget than stripping back to brick.
Textures and colour
Texture coatings come in a range of grades — from a fine sand finish through to a coarser roll-on texture — so you can dial in anything from a subtle tooth to a pronounced, hard-wearing texture that shrugs off knocks and hides more.
Like acrylic render, texture coatings are coloured-through, so there’s no separate paint coat and no repaint on the horizon. There’s a wide colour range to pick from.
Where it works
Texture coating suits existing rendered walls, sound painted surfaces and many brick or masonry walls once they’re prepared. It’s a popular way to modernise a house exterior and to unify a mix of surfaces under one clean, coloured finish.
- Fine, medium and coarse textures
- Coloured-through — no separate painting needed
- Hides imperfections and evens out tired walls
- Refreshes existing render, paint or masonry
- Wide colour palette
Refreshing tired exteriors, hiding surface imperfections, and modernising a home without a full re-render.
What drives the cost of texture coating
Texture coating is quoted per job, and it is often a way to refresh sound walls without a full re-render. If the wall underneath is in good order, the scope is mostly preparation and the coats themselves.
Where it grows is when the wall is not sound. Cracks, flaking paint or a surface that needs sealing all have to be dealt with first, because a texture coat over a failing surface will fail with it.
- Wall area and the amount of cutting-in around windows, doors and eaves
- Condition of the existing surface — flaking paint, cracks, chalky render
- Preparation and sealing needed before the coating goes on
- The texture chosen, and how many coats it needs to sit evenly
- Height and access, including scaffold on a second storey
Texture Coating — your questions
What’s the difference between texture coating and render?
Render builds the wall’s surface up (often over brick or sheeting); texture coating is a thinner coloured-through coating that goes over an existing sound surface to refresh it and add texture. Texture coating is usually the quicker, lower-cost way to modernise walls that don’t need a full re-render.
Do you need to paint texture coating?
No — texture coatings are coloured all the way through, so there’s no separate paint coat.
Can you texture coat over painted walls?
In most cases yes, provided the existing paint is sound and properly prepared. Dino checks the surface first so the coating bonds and lasts.
How much does texture coating cost in Adelaide?
Texture coating is priced per job rather than at a standard rate. The main drivers are the wall area, the condition of the surface underneath, how much preparation and sealing it needs first, the texture and number of coats, and access. On sound walls it is often a way to refresh a house without a full re-render. Dino quotes on site for free.
