What we paint

House painting and decorating in Korumburra and South Gippsland.

Inside, outside, the deck out the back or the wallpaper in the spare room. Whatever we're painting, the prep comes first, because that's what decides how long the finish lasts.

01

Interior repaints

Ceilings, walls, doors and trim, one room or the whole house. We fill, sand and seal first, then put the finish coats on a solid base, so it comes up clean and stays that way. Feature walls are no trouble either.

  • Ceilings, walls and doors
  • Trim in a durable satin
  • Feature walls
  • Full house repaints

02

Exterior painting

Weatherboards, trim, front doors and fences. Outside is where a lazy prep job shows up first, so we take the time to get the old coatings sound before anything new goes on.

  • Window and door trim
  • Fences

03

Decks, pergolas and timber

Decks, pergolas, railings and outdoor timber that the Aussie sun's had a go at. We sand it back to bring the timber back to life, then stain or paint it to handle whatever the weather throws at it.

  • Deck staining
  • Pergolas and railings
  • Outdoor seats and settings

Wallpaper and decorative finishes

We're decorators as well as painters. Wallpaper feature walls in anything from a subtle print to a bold pattern, plus decorative finishes, so the room ends up looking the way you pictured it.

  • Bold patterns
  • Decorative finishes

New homes

Building new? We paint new homes inside and out, so it's finished the way you want from day one.

Commercial and community

Commercial work and community spaces too. We sanded back the timber seats at Loch Rec Reserve and finished them with three coats of Haymes Dexpress.

Rental repaints

Rentals get the full prep as well. One church-owned rental we repainted hadn't been touched in over 20 years, and the old paint was peeling off in sheets.

Older homes

Horsehair plaster, oil-based walls and 20 years since the last coat? That's our kind of job.

A lot of South Gippsland's older houses have horsehair plaster and oil-based paint on the walls and ceilings. Over the decades the house moves, the plaster cracks, the screws start popping out and the old paint stops holding on. Paint straight over that and it'll be peeling again before long.

So we do the slow part properly. We crack out the popped screws, dig them back, fill and patch every one, strip what's lifting, then sand and seal so the new paint has something solid to grab onto. It's tedious work, and it's the difference between a finish that lasts and one that doesn't.

  • Popped plaster screws and nails dug back and filled
  • Cracks through old plaster patched
  • Peeling oil-based paint stripped back
  • Sanded and sealed before any finish coats

How we work

How we paint a house in South Gippsland, in three parts.

01

Prep right

Filling, patching, sanding, sealing and stripping whatever won't hold. Most of the work happens before the colour goes on.

02

Do it properly

No shortcuts. If a surface needs extra work to be sound, that's what it gets.

03

Finish it once

Finish coats on a solid base, for a clean result that holds up long term.

Bayley and his apprentice did an amazing job. Very diligent in the preparation of surfaces, making the finished work exceptional. Great communication at all steps of the process.

Bailey just completed some wallpaper feature walls in our house and I would not hesitate to recommend his services! He was prompt, professional, honest and most importantly did a fantastic job.

Bayley did an amazing job staining our deck. The finish is beautiful and really brought the whole space to life. He was reliable, professional and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for quality work

Bayley came to do an extensive outdoor paint job of our decking pergolas and woodwork. He did a fantastic job, and was very professional and a pleasure to have around. Pricing was very reasonable and we would definitely have him back for future painting jobs.

Used Nicholas Painting & Decorating to bring my deck back to life. Bailey & his team completed an exceptional job, on both staining the deck, and also painting the railing & ceiling. Attention to detail was exceptional. And can highly recommend.

About us

A Korumburra painting family, four generations deep.

Nicholas Painting & Decorating is a small family business. Bayley is a fourth-generation painter, and he's taken over his Dad's business as it celebrates 30 years. These days he's on the tools with his apprentice, right across South Gippsland and the Bass Coast.

We've even repainted a house that Dad painted when he was Bayley's age. Coming back to give it a fresh run years later was a pretty cool full-circle moment.

If you're heading along the Bass Highway towards Inverloch, keep an eye out for our sign.
