Painters Torquay

Torquay homes live a tough life. Salt air, strong UV and wind off Bass Strait break paint down faster than in Geelong, and timber decks, cladding and window frames feel it first. Shore Finish paints homes across Torquay and Jan Juc, from older beach shacks and holiday houses to the new estates in Torquay North, with paint systems and preparation chosen for coastal conditions.

We’re a Geelong-based painting and plastering team servicing the Surf Coast, with a 5-star Google rating and over 100 years of combined experience.

Coastal painting in Torquay: what makes it different

On the coast, preparation and product choice matter more than anywhere else. Salt deposits need to be washed off before painting, chalky or flaking paint has to come back to a sound surface, and bare timber must be primed and sealed properly or it will grey, split and move. We use premium exterior coatings designed for harsh, high-UV conditions, and we’ll tell you honestly what maintenance to expect afterwards.

Torquay has also seen a huge number of new builds. New homes often need touch-ups once the builder leaves, feature walls or colour changes, and timber decks and cladding sealed before the first summer. We can help there too.

Many Torquay properties are holiday homes or short-stay rentals. We’re happy to work while you’re away, manage keys and access, and schedule the job around your bookings.

Torquay painting FAQs

How often does a coastal home in Torquay need repainting?

It depends on exposure, the paint system and maintenance, but coastal exteriors generally need attention sooner than inland homes. Washing your exterior down a couple of times a year helps it last. We’ll assess your home and give you an honest view.

Do you stain and seal decks and timber cladding?

Yes. We clean, sand and re-coat decks and timber cladding with products suited to coastal sun and salt. See our deck sealing article for more.

Can you paint our holiday home while we’re not there?

Yes. We can organise access, work between bookings and send photo updates so you can see the progress from home.
