Services / Interior Painting / Bathurst
Interior painters in Bathurst, NSW
Murrays Painting take on interior painting and full house repaints throughout Bathurst, NSW 2795. Work covers walls, ceilings, cornices, skirting, architraves, doors and feature walls, in everything from Victorian terraces through the old town to modern builds out past Kelso. Preparation is the same regardless of the house. Surfaces are sanded, filled and gapped, woodwork takes an oil-based sealer, and walls finish in premium low-VOC Dulux. John Murray checks the job at preparation stage before topcoats start. We are based in Orange, about 55 kilometres west, and Bathurst is a regular working area rather than an occasional trip, with accommodation factored into larger jobs so the crew gets full days on site. Quotes are free, there is no travel charge, and the work carries a 12-month guarantee.
Bathurst, NSW 2795
What this work involves in Bathurst
Oldest inland settlement in Australia. Gold rush heritage, Victorian architecture and Charles Sturt University precinct.
High ceilings and old plaster
Bathurst's older homes carry ceiling heights that modern builds do not, and the plaster behind the paint is often lath or early sheet rather than anything current. It moves, it cracks along the same lines every few years, and painting over that without addressing it just resets the clock. Where we find recurring cracking we deal with the substrate first. It adds time to the quote and it is the reason the finish is still intact in five years.
Victorian joinery on the inside
Four panel doors, deep skirting, picture rails and moulded architraves are standard through the older Bathurst streets. All of it wants brush work and an oil-based sealer underneath, particularly where the timber has been stripped or patched previously. Spraying joinery like that is quicker and it never looks right up close, which is where people actually see their own hallway.
Student housing and rentals
Charles Sturt University's main campus is here and a good slice of the housing near it is rented. Turnover repaints have a different brief to a family home. They need to be hard wearing, fast to schedule between tenancies, and priced honestly. We are happy to quote that work and to be straight about which surfaces genuinely need doing and which do not.

FAQ
Questions we get in Bathurst
If your question is not here, call John directly. He would rather have a conversation than send you to a page.
No. Bathurst is a standard working area for us and there is no travel fee. For larger projects we arrange accommodation so the crew works full days rather than commuting.
Paint alone will not. Recurring cracks in the same line usually mean movement in the substrate. We address the substrate first, otherwise the crack reappears within a season or two regardless of what goes over it.
Yes, and we understand the timing pressure that comes with it. Tell us the changeover date and we will tell you honestly whether it is achievable.

Belinda Scott
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.
