The Finish Starts Before the Paint
In the painting trade, there is an old saying: "You can't hide bad plastering with good paint." Most homeowners hire a plasterer, then a painter. If the result is patchy, the painter blames the plasterer. At Tomar Contracting, we take responsibility for the entire wall. By handling the Gib stopping (plastering) and the painting, we guarantee a seamless, defect-free finish from the board up.
Fast response. Local teams.
Gib Stopping & Plastering
Whether it's a hole in the hallway or a full renovation, our team delivers.
-
Level 4 Finish: The standard high-quality finish for most matte/low-sheen walls.
-
Level 5 Finish: A full skim-coat for critical light areas (like hallways with large windows) to ensure zero texture differences.
Fine Finish Painting
We treat your home with respect. We use premium low-sheen acrylics that are washable and scuff-resistant.
-
Airless Spraying: For doors, frames, and skirting boards, we can airless spray to achieve a factory-smooth finish that no brush can match.
-
Damage Repair: Moving furniture? Kids playing cricket inside? We patch holes, repair water damage, and blend the texture so perfectly you'll never know it was there.

We Respect Your Home
Inviting tradespeople into your private space requires trust. We treat your home like our own.
Dust Control: We use dust-free vacuum sanders to keep your air clean.
Furniture Protection: We move heavy items and cover everything in clean plastic sheeting and drop cloths.
Low Odour: We use modern Low-VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) paints from Dulux and Resene, so you don't have to move out due to fumes.
Stuck on White?
Choosing between "Alabaster," "Black White," and "Quarter Tea" can be overwhelming. Lighting in Tauranga changes everything. A colour that looks warm in Pyes Pa might look grey in Papamoa. We offer professional colour advice to help you select the right tone to match your flooring, furniture, and lighting.
Interior Painting Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on the condition. Ideally, we strip it for the best finish. If stripping isn't an option, we can seal it with a specialized oil-based pigmented sealer and skim coat it to create a smooth, paintable surface.
A standard bedroom usually takes 2 days (Day 1: Prep, patch, prime, first coat. Day 2: Final coat and cleanup). We work efficiently to minimize disruption.
