Every professional painter and contractor understands that material costs are a major factor in running a profitable business. Sourcing high-quality paint at a competitive price isn’t just about saving money, it’s about ensuring efficiency, reliability, and long-term durability for every project. Yet, many paint manufacturers fail to provide genuine trade benefits, leaving professionals to choose between cutting costs and maintaining quality.

Haymes Paint recognises this challenge. As Australia’s largest independent and family-owned paint brand, Haymes has supported trade professionals since 1935, offering exclusive pricing, premium paints, and expert advice tailored to the industry. A Haymes Trade Account is designed to help painters, builders, and decorators maximise efficiency while delivering superior results.

Managing Costs as a Trade Professional

Inflation continues to rise, and for those in the trade industry, these increases can significantly impact project budgets and profitability. Paint is a recurring expense, and without access to competitive pricing, professionals risk eroding their profit margins.

Labour is the Largest Expense

Painting is labour-intensive, with wages accounting for most project costs. However, choosing the right paint can make a significant difference. High-coverage, durable coatings reduce the number of coats required, speeding up application and cutting labour time.

Low-Quality Paint Costs More (Long Term)

While cheaper paints may seem like a cost-effective option initially, they often require additional coats and frequent maintenance. Poor coverage, inconsistent finishes, and reduced durability lead to extra work, which increases both material use and labour costs. In contrast, using a high-quality product from the outset minimises waste and delivers better long-term results.

How a Haymes Trade Account Helps You Save

A professional-grade finish starts with the right product, but access to exclusive trade pricing makes that product even more valuable. Haymes Paint offers trade customers real savings through bulk pricing, expert support, and high-quality paints designed for efficiency.. 

Exclusive Trade Pricing and Bulk Discounts

Trade account holders benefit from lower per-litre costs, making large-scale projects more cost-effective. Buying in bulk ensures consistent supply and reduces overall expenditure.

Access to Promotions and Special Trade Deals

In addition to standard trade pricing, account holders receive exclusive access to seasonal promotions, volume-based discounts, and tailored trade incentives. These additional savings create even greater cost benefits over time.

Paint quality directly affects both application time and long-term maintenance. Our range of premium products are designed to ensure superior coverage, durability, and efficiency, reducing the overall cost of materials and labour.
