Services / Exterior Painting / Bathurst
Murrays Painting take on exterior house painting throughout Bathurst, NSW 2795, across weatherboard, brick, rendered masonry, stone and modern cladding. Every job starts with pressure washing, scraping, sanding, filling and priming, because in Central West conditions the preparation decides how long the finish lasts far more than the paint does. Bathurst carries a lot of nineteenth century masonry alongside Federation and modern housing, and those substrates want different systems rather than the same product rolled over everything. We work from Orange, about 55 kilometres west, and treat Bathurst as a standard working area with no travel charge. John Murray inspects at preparation stage, we use Dulux exterior systems, and the work carries a 12-month workmanship guarantee. Quotes are free.
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 this work involves in Bathurst
Oldest inland settlement in Australia. Gold rush heritage, Victorian architecture and Charles Sturt University precinct.
Masonry needs to breathe
The single most common exterior failure we are called to in Bathurst is paint peeling off rendered or stone walls in sheets. It is a moisture problem rather than a paint problem. Older masonry was built to let damp move through and dry outward, and sealing it with a modern impermeable film traps that water behind the coating until it pushes the paint off. The correct answer is a breathable system suited to the wall. Anything else is a two year fix.
Cold nights and the curing window
Bathurst runs cold overnight for a large part of the year and the same curing problem applies as it does further west. A surface that drops below temperature before the film has formed will not perform, regardless of what it cost per litre. We plan exterior work around the seasonal window and we would rather tell you to wait a month than take a deposit for a job that will fail quietly.
Detail on gold rush era facades
Older Bathurst exteriors carry bracketed eaves, cast iron, rendered parapets and heavily profiled joinery. Preparing and cutting that in by hand is where most of the labour sits on a heritage exterior, and it is the part that separates a facade that looks right from one that looks flattened.

FAQ
Questions we get in Bathurst

Nearly always trapped moisture. Older masonry needs to dry outward and a modern impermeable coating stops it, so the water pushes the film off from behind. The fix is stripping back and using a breathable system, not applying another coat over the top.
Yes, Kelso and the surrounding Bathurst suburbs are all standard working areas with no travel charge.
Late spring to early autumn. Overnight temperature is the constraint, because paint that cannot cure properly will not last no matter how well it goes on.
