Durban industry expert gives inside track on how to choose the best painter for the job
With 25 years' experience in the contracting and painting industry, Basha Bux from Mable Contractors has seen it all.

When it comes to giving your home the makeover you have dreamed of for years, the one thing that always comes to mind is that the expense is higher than the reward.
Often contracting companies are overpriced and unaffordable, which demotivates home owners who are considering renovating or giving their homes that fresh coat of paint.
Painting has become a horror story, as you never know whether the “guarantee” you’re promised is actually lived up to and whether the contractors are rightfully suited to perform all renovations.
The last thing you need is the tiling to slide off your bathroom walls and the paint to start cracking.
So, how do you know what contracting company to use and who is reputable?
Often clients ask Basha Bux, owner of Mable Contractors, these questions and he has a simple answer.
“Trust those who have been in the industry for many years and always ask for references and make sure to follow up on them.”
With 25 years’ experience in the contracting and painting industry, Basha Bux has seen it all.
“We have recently just finished painting a home in Zimbali Wedge on the North Coast, which took us two weeks to complete.”
