Choosing a painter for a Lorne property means considering more than the colour and finish. Existing paint, timber condition, access, moisture exposure and the property’s location can all affect the preparation and products required.
Fairhaven Painting works across Lorne and surrounding Great Ocean Road communities, providing painting for permanent homes, beach houses, holiday properties and other residential buildings.
Our approach includes:
From beach houses and weatherboard properties to permanent residences and commercial spaces, our painters in Lorne provide a range of professional painting services.
Exterior surfaces around Lorne can be exposed to changing weather, moisture, sunlight and coastal conditions. We prepare exterior surfaces carefully before applying a suitable coating system. Our exterior painting service covers suitable weatherboard, timber, render and other exterior surfaces.
Our interior painters in Lorne can refresh individual rooms or complete interiors, including walls, ceilings, trims, doors and feature walls. We protect surrounding areas, prepare surfaces properly and leave the work area clean when the project is complete.
We provide residential painting for full-time homes, holiday cottages, investment properties and established houses throughout Lorne. Whether you're updating a single room or repainting an entire property, we tailor the preparation and finish to the condition of the home.
We also provide painting for suitable commercial properties and can discuss scheduling requirements to help minimise disruption to your business.
Weatherboard homes can require detailed preparation before repainting, particularly where timber has weathered or existing coatings have started to peel or crack. We assess the condition of the boards, complete the preparation required and apply an appropriate exterior coating system.
For warehouses, machinery, and industrial facilities, we apply high-performance coatings built to handle heavy-duty environments and demanding conditions.
The cost of painting a property in Lorne depends on its size, surface condition, accessibility, preparation requirements and whether you are painting the interior, exterior or both.
As a general guide, a single interior room may cost around $400–$900, while a full interior repaint of a three-bedroom home may range from approximately $4,000–$8,000.
An exterior repaint for an average home may cost approximately $5,000–$12,000, while weatherboard and holiday homes requiring more extensive preparation may range from around $6,000–$15,000+.
These are general estimates only. The actual cost depends on the property and scope of work.

Before we leave, you walk through the job with us. We don't consider it done until you're completely satisfied.
Salt spray, UV exposure, and moisture-laden air accelerate paint deterioration on coastal homes faster than anywhere else. Generic painting companies often apply the wrong coatings, and within a few years, you’re back to peeling, cracking, and fading.
At Fairhaven Painting, coastal painting is our speciality. We know what Lorne’s climate does to painted surfaces, and we know exactly how to stop it.
We use premium marine-grade and weather-resistant paints from trusted Australian brands, applied over properly prepared, primed surfaces, so your finish looks great and lasts.
Salt-laden air breaks down standard paint bonds. We strip, sand and prime correctly then apply coatings that flex and resist moisture ingress.
Salt crystals expand in walls and cause bubbling and cracking. We treat affected areas before painting to prevent re-occurrence.
Harsh Australian sun destroys pigment in cheaper paints fast. We specify UV-stable coatings that hold colour long after lesser paints have faded.
Holiday homes in Lorne often go years between maintenance. We assess the full condition, fix underlying issues, and deliver a lasting result that protects your investment.
Not all painters are equal. Here’s what separates professional, local expertise from a quick, cheap coat of paint.
