Paint Stripping And Paint Removal Services In Melbourne

Safe & Environmentally Responsible Paint Removal

WASP Blasting offers professional paint stripping services in Melbourne, specialising in removing paint from surfaces like: brick, concrete, timber, stone, metal and masonry, without using harsh chemical strippers.

The problem with traditional paint removal:

  • Chemical strippers create toxic fumes and health hazards
  • Hand scraping takes forever and damages surfaces
  • Traditional sandblasting creates dust clouds and can harm delicate materials
  • DIY attempts often make the problem worse

Our game-changing approach:

We use cutting-edge wet abrasive blasting and biodegradable cleaning agents to strip paint safely, efficiently, and without environmental damage. No toxic vapours, no surface damage, no endless clean-up.
