Aluminium Recoating

Professional Aluminium Respraying & Surface Restoration Systems

Aluminium surfaces are constantly exposed to UV, moisture and environmental contaminants. Over time, coatings fade, oxidise and break down, affecting both appearance and long-term protection.

Recoat provides professional aluminium recoating and surface restoration, restoring existing joinery, cladding and architectural elements without the need for full replacement.

    • Faded or oxidised aluminium windows and doors

    • Deteriorating powder-coated finishes

    • Commercial façades requiring recolouring

    • Coastal properties with accelerated coating breakdown

    • Architectural aluminium features showing wear

    • Surface restoration and corrosion treatment

    • Full aluminium recolouring and refinishing

    • Durable coating systems suited to NZ conditions

    • Consistent finish across large or complex surfaces

    • On-site application with minimal disruption


What Is Aluminium Recoating?

Aluminium recoating is the process of restoring and refinishing existing aluminium surfaces that have deteriorated over time.

Instead of replacing joinery or cladding, the existing surface is prepared, repaired where required, and coated using specialist systems designed for adhesion, durability and colour stability.

  • Aluminium windows and doors

  • Commercial and retail façades

  • Shopfront systems

  • Architectural aluminium features

  • Aluminium cladding systems

Where Aluminium Recoating Is Used

Aluminium recoating is used across residential and commercial environments where surfaces are structurally sound but visually degraded.

  • Residential joinery recolouring

  • Apartment and multi-unit buildings

  • Commercial office façades

  • Retail shopfronts

  • Schools and healthcare facilities

  • Coastal properties exposed to salt and moisture

When Aluminium Recoating Is the Right Solution

Recoating is suitable when aluminium surfaces are worn but structurally intact.

  • Faded or chalking powder coat

  • Visible oxidation or surface breakdown

  • Outdated or inconsistent colour

  • Localised corrosion points

  • Peeling or failing coatings

We assess whether recoating, remedial repair, or partial replacement is the most appropriate approach before proceeding.


Why Recoat Instead of Replace?

Replacing aluminium systems is often costly and disruptive. Recoating provides a practical alternative when the structure is still sound.

  • Lower cost than full replacement

  • Minimal disruption to occupied properties

  • Faster turnaround for large-scale projects

  • Extends the life of existing aluminium systems

  • Improves appearance and restores consistency

Steel Remedials

Our Aluminium Recoating Process

We follow a structured remedial methodology to ensure durability and long-term performance.

1. Surface Assessment

Inspection of coating condition, oxidation and substrate integrity

2. Cleaning & Decontamination

Removal of contaminants, salts and degraded material

3. Corrosion Treatment & Repairs

Treatment of affected areas and preparation of damaged section

4. Surface Preparation & Profiling

Preparation to ensure proper coating adhesion

5. Application of Coating System

Spray application of systems suited to the environment

6. Quality Inspection

Final checks for consistency, adhesion and finish

On-Site Aluminium Respraying

Most aluminium recoating is carried out on-site, allowing restoration without removing existing systems.

This is particularly beneficial for installed joinery, large façade areas and commercial buildings.

We work within active environments and coordinate with property managers, builders and facility teams to minimise disruption.

Coating Systems for NZ Conditions

Coating systems are selected based on environmental exposure and project requirements.

  • Coastal and marine environments

  • High UV exposure areas

  • Urban and industrial locations

  • High-traffic surfaces
