Why Gapfill exists

Built by a Melbourne painting contractor who got sick of the ring-around.

I've worked in the painting industry for over 10 years. When someone's off sick or a job runs over, I've lost mornings calling everyone I know. Gapfill is the list of ready-to-go painters I always wanted.

Aleks, founder

What a gap really costs

One painter short costs more than you think.

An idle crew

The rest of your team waits on the part nobody can cover, and you still pay them.

Jobs that slip

One late day pushes back the next job, and the next invoice.

Builders who remember

A late handover can cost you the next tender, not just this one.

A Gapfill painter is $230. A lost day usually costs far more.

Fill the gap

Who it's for

Never push a job back because you're one painter short.

Painting contractors

Someone's off sick or a job ran over. Keep the next one on schedule.

Builders

Extra hands for handover so painting doesn't hold up the build.

Maintenance teams

Touch-ups, make-goods and end-of-lease repaints when your list gets long.

Strata and property

Common areas and units, with the tickets your sites require.

The ring-around

Hours on the phone

  • Calling and texting everyone you know
  • Not sure who has the right tickets

  • The job slips while you wait

  • A two-minute request form
  • Painters matched on the tickets you need
  • Pay the painter direct, no markup
  • Charged only once they check in
