Why people in Bathurst choose Murrays Painting

Over 50 years in the trade

Over fifty years in the trade. There is very little John has not already seen go wrong on a house, which is mostly what experience buys you.

John quotes it and supervises it

He prices the job himself and checks the preparation before a topcoat goes on, with Ron running the crew on site. The same two people from the quote to the last coat.

Preparation comes first

Most of the work happens before any colour appears. Sanding, filling, priming and sealing are what decide whether the finish lasts three years or fifteen.

Dulux and Porters materials

Premium paint on every job, with oil-based sealers on woodwork. Cheaper products cost less on the invoice and more on the repaint.

12-month workmanship guarantee

Twelve months on labour and materials. If something is not right in that time, John comes back and sorts it out.

Licensed, insured, reviewed

NSW licence 155166C, public liability and workers compensation, and a five star rating on Google from customers across the Central West.

What we know about painting in Bathurst

Bathurst is the oldest inland settlement in Australia and the largest city in the Central West, sitting about fifty-five kilometres east of Orange. The gold rush heritage is visible in the Victorian architecture along William Street, through Kelso, and in the older residential areas that feature beautifully detailed homes from the 1880s through to federation-era bungalows. Landmarks like Tremain's Flour Mill and the Railway Institute Building speak to a city that invested in its built environment early and has maintained it since. We regularly take on projects in Bathurst and the surrounding suburbs, with accommodation factored into larger multi-day jobs.

How it works, from first call to finished job

Four steps, no surprises. Most people are put off calling a tradesman because they do not know what happens next. Here is exactly what happens next.

  1. 01

    You get in touch

    Call John on 0483 922 536 or fill in the form. He answers his own phone, so you are talking to the person who will be doing the work.

  2. 02

    He comes and looks at it

    At a time that suits you. He walks the job, talks through colours and finishes, and answers whatever you want to ask. No charge and no pressure.

  3. 03

    You get a written quote

    An itemised price with the preparation spelled out, so you can see exactly what is included rather than guessing at a number on a text message.

  4. 04

    We paint it and check it with you

    Floors and furniture protected, tidied up each day, and a walk through together at the end. Backed by the 12-month guarantee.

We are repeat customers and have once again been extremely happy with the quality of work and service provided. We recently had both the interior and exterior of our home painted, and the results were outstanding. The attention to detail was exceptional, and the quality of the workmanship really shows in the finished product. The entire team was professional, friendly, respectful and a pleasure to have around our home. They took great care throughout the job, kept everything tidy and ensured every detail was finished to a high standard. There's a reason we chose to use them again, and we wouldn't hesitate to do so in the future.

I've used John and the team at Murrays Painting on several projects now and have always been very happy with their work. The quality is consistently high, they're punctual, reliable and communication is always great. As a builder, it's important to have trades you can trust, and I'd have no hesitation recommending Murrays Painting.
LLuke HughesGoogle review
John and his team did an amazing job of a very complex project. Their quote was extremely reasonable compared to other quotes received. Their attention to detail throughout the project was impeccable. The work involved a total repaint, both externally and internally, of a very large timber double storey historic residence. The final magnificent result of their many months of labour are a reflection of their understanding and pride for their profession.

John Murray's crew were excellent, very reliable, trustworthy and easy to have around my home. They did a fantastic job with the interior and exterior of my terrace house and finished the work on time and budget. I would highly recommend them and confidently refer them.

A typical three-bedroom house interior takes three to five days depending on surface condition, the number of colours and whether woodwork needs stripping.

Bathurst was established in 1815, making it Australia's oldest inland settlement. The city sits about 55km east of Orange along the Great Western Highway. Bathurst's gold rush began in 1851, shaping much of its Victorian architecture. Charles Sturt University's main campus is located in Bathurst. Mount Panorama motor racing circuit is within the Bathurst city limits. These local conditions are why preparation matters as much as the paint itself. John Murray has been painting in the Central West for over 50 years and understands what works in Bathurst's specific climate and housing stock.
