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 sits about 55 kilometres east of our base in Orange, and we've painted homes and businesses there for years. It's Australia's oldest inland settlement, founded in 1815, and the gold rush that began in 1851 paid for much of what still stands: detailed Victorian homes from the 1880s through the older streets and along William Street, and Federation bungalows further out through Kelso. That housing asks for more than a roller. Bracketed eaves, cast iron, rendered parapets and heavily profiled joinery all need brush work. Older rendered and stone walls need a breathable paint system, because damp masonry sealed under a modern film is why paint comes away in sheets near the base of a wall. Inside, high ceilings and old lath plaster crack along the same lines until the cause is fixed, so we fix the cause first. Bathurst also runs cold overnight for much of the year, so we paint exteriors inside the reliable curing window rather than into the frost. John quotes every Bathurst job on site and you get a written price before any work starts. Larger jobs are block-scheduled so the crew works full days on site.

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.

The quality is consistently high, they're punctual, reliable and communication is always great.

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.

Bathurst was established in 1815, making it Australia's oldest inland settlement. The gold rush that began in 1851 paid for much of the city's Victorian architecture, with detailed homes from the 1880s through the older streets. Federation bungalows sit further out through Kelso, alongside newer builds. A lot of the older building stock is rendered masonry or stone, which needs a breathable paint system rather than a sealing one. Bathurst runs cold overnight for much of the year, which limits when exterior paint can properly cure. The city sits about 55km east of Orange along the Great Western Highway. 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.
