Shine Coating is honoured to announce a double win at the Quality Business Awards 2024 — recognised as both the Best Painters in Bendigo, VIC and the Best Waterproofing Experts in Bendigo, VIC.
These back-to-back accolades, awarded independently by Quality Business Awards, place Shine Coating in the top 1% of more than 10,000 businesses evaluated nationally across all eight Australian states and territories.
Following our recognition as Bendigo’s Best Painter in 2023, winning two separate awards in a single year — across both painting excellence and specialist waterproofing — confirms the range and consistency of the craftsmanship our team delivers to homeowners and businesses across Greater Bendigo, Castlemaine, Rochester, Echuca, Shepparton, Seymour, Axedale, and Heathcote.
Two Independent Awards — What the 2024 Recognition Covers
The Quality Business Awards are not self-nominated honours. They are independent evaluations conducted by Quality Business Awards, with each business assessed across four measured dimensions: Satisfaction, Service, Reputation, and Quality — drawing on verified customer reviews from three or more review platforms. To qualify, a business must achieve an overall quality score of 95% or higher. Fewer than 1% of registered businesses assessed reach this threshold.
For 2024, Shine Coating earned two separate recognitions:
- Best Painters in Bendigo 2024 — Ranked #1 among all Bendigo painting businesses assessed. Verified at: The Best Painters in Bendigo, VIC 2024 | Quality Business Awards Australia
- Best Waterproofing in Bendigo 2024 — Ranked #1 among all Bendigo waterproofing businesses assessed. Verified at: The Best Waterproofing in Bendigo, VIC 2024 | Quality Business Awards Australia
What Winning Best Painters in Bendigo 2024 Means
Being rated the #1 Painter in Bendigo by an independent body reflects performance across hundreds of real projects. From surface preparation and primer selection through to final coat and site clean-up, every stage of our process was reflected in the customer review data Quality Business Awards used to conduct its assessment. Our painting services cover:
- Interior painting — walls, ceilings, trim, and mouldings for homes and apartments
- Exterior painting — facades, weatherboards, render, eaves, and cladding
- Residential and domestic house painting across Greater Bendigo and regional Victoria
- Commercial painting — offices, retail spaces, strata buildings, and industrial facilities
- Roof painting — protective and heat-reflective coatings suited to Bendigo’s extreme temperature range
- Epoxy flooring — for garages, warehouses, commercial kitchens, and showrooms
- Pre-sale painting — to maximise property presentation and kerb appeal before going to market
- Repaint services — refreshing faded or weathered surfaces to a like-new standard
What Winning Best Waterproofing in Bendigo 2024 Means
Waterproofing is one of the most technically exacting services in the coatings industry — and one of the most consequential. Unlike a cosmetic repaint, waterproofing failure can result in hidden moisture damage, structural timber rot, rising damp, mould growth in living spaces, and expensive remediation that runs well into the tens of thousands of dollars.
Effective waterproofing requires accurate diagnosis before any product is ever applied. Our process begins with a thorough assessment of the affected area — identifying moisture pathways, substrate condition, and existing coating failures — before specifying the appropriate membrane-grade waterproofing system for the environment.
Shine Coating’s waterproofing services in Bendigo and regional Victoria cover:
- Bathrooms and ensuites — wet area membranes to AS 3740 standard
- Laundries and utility rooms — floor and wall sealing for high-moisture environments
- Balconies and decks — outdoor membrane systems that accommodate thermal movement
- Basements and below-ground areas — tanking and negative-side waterproofing
- Retaining walls — drainage board and waterproofing membrane systems
- Commercial wet areas — kitchens, ablution blocks, and plant room floors
Being independently recognised as Bendigo’s #1 Waterproofing experts for 2024 by Quality Business Awards is confirmation that our clients trust us with their most critical, high-consequence projects — and that the results speak for themselves.
Sethi Sharma’s Statement
“These awards from Quality Business Awards are a fantastic recognition of the dedication, craftsmanship, and genuine care we put into every single project — whether it’s a large commercial paint job or a detailed residential waterproofing task. Here in Bendigo, we know how important it is to have a home or business that not only looks great but is also well-protected from the elements. Winning Best Painters for the second year running, and now adding Best Waterproofing for 2024, truly underscores our commitment to providing comprehensive, high-quality solutions for our community. A massive thank you to our wonderful clients for their trust and support.”
