We respect your schedule
Finding a painter you can genuinely trust in Lorne shouldn’t be a hassle. At Fairhaven Painting, we’ve built our reputation over a decade by doing the job properly — thorough preparation, quality materials, and finishes that hold up against the elements.
We understand what coastal living demands. Salt air, high humidity, and the Great Ocean Road’s ever-changing weather all take a toll on painted surfaces. That’s why we don’t cut corners — especially on preparation and primer.
From beach houses to commercial spaces, we cover every type of painting project along the Surf Coast with the care and expertise it deserves.
Complete interior and exterior repaints for Lorne homes. We protect surfaces, match colours perfectly, and deliver a finish that lasts — whatever your style, whatever the size.
Your home's exterior faces the full force of coastal weather. We use premium weather-resistant coatings and thorough prep to protect and beautify your property for years to come.
Refresh any room with crisp, clean interior painting. Walls, ceilings, trims, feature walls — we handle it all with careful prep, furniture protection, and a spotless clean-up.
Tailored residential painting for every type of Lorne property — from holiday cottages to full-time residences. Your home, your vision, our expertise.
We work around your business hours to minimise disruption. Professional, polished results that create the right first impression for your customers and clients.
For warehouses, machinery, and industrial facilities — we apply high-performance coatings built to handle heavy-duty environments and demanding conditions.
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.
There are plenty of painters out there. Here’s why homeowners and businesses in Lorne keep choosing us.
We sand, fill, and prime every surface before applying a single coat. Proper prep is the difference between paint that lasts two years and paint that lasts ten.
We use Dulux, Haymes, and Wattyl products — quality Australian brands formulated to withstand salt air, UV and humidity common to Lorne and the Surf Coast.
Our detailed quotes tell you exactly what you're getting and what it costs. No surprise fees, no hidden extras — just honest, upfront pricing.
We work around your schedule, protect your furnishings, and leave the property cleaner than we found it. Painting should be exciting — not stressful.
Choosing colours for a Lorne home is about more than fashion — it's about what works with the coastal light and your property's character. We will guide you there.
We're based here on the Surf Coast. We know Lorne, we know these homes, and we're invested in every job because this is our community too.
From your first call to the final inspection — here’s what working with Fairhaven Painting looks like.
We assess your property, discuss your goals, and provide a detailed written quote — at no cost and no obligation.
Our team helps you select colours and finishes that suit your style, the coastal environment, and your property's architecture.
We sand, fill, prime, and paint with precision — using industry-leading products and techniques for a lasting finish.
Before we leave, you walk through the job with us. We don't consider it done until you're completely satisfied.
