Paint supplies and accessories

Our ambition is to provide our customers with the widest range of home improvement products in accordance with our lowest prices policy, backed with the best service. Our team members are the heart and soul of our business. Our team's guiding principles are integrity, respect, teamwork, achievement and innovation. Our guiding principles are the keys to our culture and to achieving our vision. We pursue sustainability within our operations by striving to make them socially responsible and environmentally aware and economically viable. We engage with the communities in which we operate and live and we actively contribute to causes and organisations that benefit these communities. We seek to lessen our environmental impact in ways that are measurable including: achieving better and more efficient use of resources; ensuring our suppliers operate sustainably and ethically; encouraging and educating customers about environmentally friendly alternatives; and focusing on the “reduce, re-use and recycle” waste management principles. In 2021 we introduced a national battery recycling program across our Australian store network to provide customers with an instore recycling solution for household and power tool batteries. We extended this to our New Zealand network in 2022. We value our team members’ contributions, recognise and reward their efforts and provide a fun, satisfying and safe workplace. By living our values and operating sustainably, we will continue to “build the best” and earn the right to serve our customers

Bristol has been part of the Australian fabric since 1938, when founders George White and Jack Bate first setup shop in Carlton, an inner Melbourne suburb. After realising their simple vision to supply premium paint to trade painters, they made the bold and brazen move to enter the DIY market. More than 80 years later, the Bristol commitment to provide premium paints and expert advice to both house-proud Australians and professional painters has not wavered. Today, Bristol stores are owned and operated by local small business owners, and they are backed by the world-leading paint and coatings manufacturer, PPG Industries. PPG Industries supports Bristol with resources, training and technology; to create a reliable retail destination where Australian’s can go for paint advice and products. Bristol stores are filled with friendly local staff who are equipped to provide expert paint, colour and project advice. We have all your painting and interior decorating needs covered, including paint for any surface, wallpaper and all the tools of the trade to get the job done right. So when it’s time to update your home, business or community space, visit your local Bristol store.
