Services / Interior Painting / Bathurst
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.
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.
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.
