More Than Just a Man With a Van: Tauranga’s Trusted Painting Team.

The Tomar Philosophy: Unbiased Expertise.

Most painting companies are locked into a single brand’s ecosystem, but we believe your home deserves the best of everything. We have spent years testing how various coatings handle the Bay of Plenty’s extreme salt and UV. We hand-select only the top-tier products from each brand—like Wattyl Solagard for its unmatched solar-reflectance on roofs and Dulux Wash & Wear for its superior interior durability.

Standard water blasting removes dirt, but it fails to dissolve bound chlorides (marine salts). We implement a mandatory "Zero-Salt" Protocol using specialized surfactants like Chlor-X to chemically break the salt-substrate bond. Painting over salt crystals leads to osmotic blistering, where salt pulls moisture through the paint film and blasts the new coating off your walls from the inside out. Ask us for a Salt Level Test. We use conductivity meters to measure chloride contamination on your walls before we quote, providing you with a data-backed assessment of your home's needs.

The Tomar Standard

• Communication: We pick up the phone. You get a dedicated Project Manager who keeps you updated, not a generic voicemail.
• Transparency: Our quotes are detailed. We break down the labour, the materials, and the preparation so you know exactly where your money is going.
• Respect: We treat your home like a temple. We wear boot covers, we protect your floors, and we don't play loud music on site.
