Fairhaven Painting is a Dulux-accredited painting business led by Kaj, with a 5-star Google rating and 10+ years painting homes along the Great Ocean Road corridor from Fairhaven and Lorne through to Wye River, Kennett River and Apollo Bay. Here’s why we’re the painting contractors Wye River owners keep calling back:
Wye River sits between Lorne and Apollo Bay on one of the most exposed sections of the Great Ocean Road, with the town centred around the Wye General Store and Wye Beach Hotel above the main beach. Properties range from original weatherboard beach houses to homes rebuilt after the 2015 Christmas Day bushfire, and each needs a different approach to preparation and coatings. We scope every job around the specific age, cladding and exposure of the property, not a generic package.
The Wye River-Jamieson Track fire destroyed 98 homes in Wye River on Christmas Day 2015, and rebuilding has continued in the years since. A number of rebuilt properties sit within a designated Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) zone, which affects the coatings and preparation appropriate for the home. We factor this into our scoping and quoting rather than treating every property the same.
You'll receive a detailed written quote outlining exactly what's included, with straightforward advice - not upselling or vague pricing.
Before painting begins, we inspect every surface for salt-air degradation, peeling paint, moisture damage, timber movement and previous coating failure, then scope pressure washing, sanding, filling, caulking and priming accordingly.
We select paint systems rated for direct coastal exposure Wye River's combination of salt air, UV and driving rain off Bass Strait is harder on paint than most inland Geelong suburbs.
Many Wye River properties are holiday houses used seasonally. We work around vacancy windows and can coordinate quoting and access remotely for owners who aren't on-site full-time.

Led by Dulux-accredited painter Kaj, the business has over 10 years' experience painting homes along the Great Ocean Road corridor, including Lorne, Fairhaven and the Otway coastline, and understands the coastal-grade preparation and coatings Wye River properties need.
Yes. Many Wye River properties are holiday houses used seasonally, and we schedule work around vacancy periods where possible. We also offer flexible timing for owners who only visit occasionally and need work coordinated remotely.
Many homes in Wye River were rebuilt following the 2015 Christmas Day bushfire, and a number sit in a designated Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) zone. We work with the coatings and preparation appropriate to a property's BAL rating and confirm requirements with you before quoting, alongside standard salt-air and UV-resistant exterior systems.
Alongside Wye River, we regularly work in Separation Creek, Kennett River, Lorne, Fairhaven, Aireys Inlet, Anglesea, Torquay and Apollo Bay as part of our Great Ocean Road service area.
Wye River sits directly on the Great Ocean Road coastline, so exterior surfaces face salt-laden air, strong UV and driving rain off Bass Strait. We use exterior-rated Dulux and Haymes systems suited to this exposure and pay close attention to priming and sealing, which is where lower-cost jobs typically fail first.
Exterior painting for a Wye River home typically runs from $4,500 to $14,000+, often higher than inland suburbs due to coastal-grade coatings, steeper block access and, in some cases, BAL-rated products. Interior painting for a full home generally runs 3,500-9,500+. We always confirm exact pricing with a written quote after inspection.
Yes, we offer free quotes for Wye River and the surrounding Otway coast, including Separation Creek, Kennett River and Lorne. Call 0426 087 887 to arrange a time, including remote quoting for owners who aren't on-site.
