Why TKR Painting

Why homeowners choose TKR Painting

Clear communication, careful prep and owner-operated workmanship for homes across Dunedin and the Otago region.

Owner-operated: The person quoting your job is on the tools and managing the work. Where specialist trades are needed, we bring in trusted subcontractors — not a revolving crew.

Prep done properly: Gaps, cracks and rough patches are fixed before paint goes on, so the finish looks sharp and lasts longer.

Airless spraying specialists: Ultra-smooth, consistent finishes on ceilings, doors and trims where it makes sense, with walls carefully cut and rolled for a controlled, even finish.

Finish options

Standard vs premium finish

Every job is done to a solid professional standard. A premium finish simply adds more time, product and detail for clients who want the very best result on key areas.

Premium finish

Why it costs more

For clients who want the sharpest possible result on feature areas and high-wear surfaces.

Elite surface preparation Defect removal & feathered edges Extra masking & protection time Senior applicator on detail areas

Higher-spec primers and coatings are matched to each surface, with proper curing time between coats. The result is long-term durability, richer colour depth, easier cleaning and an ultra-even finish.

Standard finish

What’s included

A solid, professional finish that’s ideal for most homes, repaints and rental refreshes.

Professional surface preparation Premium multi-coat systems Clean, efficient site management

You still get quality products matched to each surface, tidy repairs and a neat, long-lasting finish. Premium is there if you want extra time and detail on key areas.

Best for you

When to upgrade

Premium finish is ideal when you want the very best result on feature spaces or long-term “forever home” projects.

Main living areas Kitchens & bathrooms Feature walls & entrances High wear doors & trims

Upgrade adds ultra-smooth finishes on key areas, studio-grade coatings with deeper colour, and extended durability with higher sheen uniformity in critical light.

How it works

A simple, tidy process with prep at the centre

Clear communication, realistic timelines and serious preparation so the finish looks better and lasts longer.

1

Walk-through & quote

We visit, walk through each area, talk about colours and finishes, and give a clear, written quote that explains what’s included.

2

Serious preparation

Surfaces are cleaned, gaps filled, and minor plaster repairs completed (raking, taping and patching where needed), then everything is sanded, dusted and primed before any topcoats go on. Where full skims or specialist corner work is required, we bring in trusted plastering subcontractors to ensure paint-ready surfaces.

3

Spraying & painting

Airless spraying for ceilings, doors and trim where it makes sense, with walls carefully cut and rolled for a controlled, even finish.

4

Clean up & handover

Daily clean-ups, rubbish removed, and a final walk-through to make sure you’re happy with every room and every line.
