Welcome to Tauranga Sandblasting
Protecting your equipment is what we do at Tauranga Sandblasting. We clean its metal surfaces and cover it with an effective protective coating where appropriate, so you can have full use of your assets for as long as possible.
We make sure we do the job quickly, and on the day and time we said we would. That way you can use it till the last moment and pick it up as scheduled.
It doesn't matter if you have a boat or a bulldozer, a tractor or a trailer, a machine part or a collector's piece. You can entrust its cleaning to us and know it will be cared for and come out perfectly, ready for years of more use.
Committed to quality service.
Tauranga Sandblasting has been in operation since 1980, and has been under its current management since March 2009.
Managing director Paul Fowler and his hand-picked team of professionals are committed to giving you the best service possible. From the initial booking to the way we keep in touch with you, the timing of our operations and the respect with which we treat your belongings – everything we do is aimed at giving you maximum use of your equipment.
Our site in Mt Maunganui is equipped with a 20m x 6m x 6m protected blasting booth, housed inside an even larger clean warehouse and paint shop measuring 60m x 40m x 20m, so we can accommodate even large machinery and vehicles. A close working relationship with nearby McLeod Cranes enables us to move heavy pieces carefully and safely.
We even have a fully equipped mobile unit we can bring to your place for items that aren't practical to transport.
For work on marine vessels that are hard to move overland, we work closely with the Tauranga City Council slipway at Sulphur Point, next to the harbour bridge in Tauranga, here we can clean your vessel effectively and quickly.
What we can do for you.
The team at Tauranga Sandblasting are experts at cleaning rust or any other unwanted build up from metal surfaces and apply a protective coat of paint – whether it's as rugged as earthmovers, heavy as structural steel, smoothly finished as boat hulls or delicate as an antique.
Abrasive blasting /sandblasting is only one part of the process to protect your valuables. More often than not, we follow this up by applying a protective coating or combination of coatings – whether paint or powder coat. We specialise in the use of Altex, PPG and International paint systems to give your assets the best, most practical protection available.
How we meet our responsibilities towards you, our staff and the environment.
Despite our name, at Tauranga Sandblasting we don't actually use sand for our blasting. Instead, we use specially imported garnet particles that are inert and free from the harmful silicates you find in ordinary sand.
The fact that garnet is so inert also means that it contains no particles that may remain behind on the abrasive blasted surface and react with the metal, giving you the assurance that the surfaces we treated will remain in good order for a long time to come.
So, if you have a metal surface to be cleaned anywhere in the Bay of Plenty region, the choice is clear – Tauranga Sandblasting.
