Graffiti removal in Melbourne deals with a city where tagging is part of the streetscape, from inner laneways to suburban fences and shopfronts. We remove unwanted graffiti from brick, render, metal, glass and painted surfaces, using laser cleaning, a low-pressure softwash or a chemical remover chosen for the surface. An anti-graffiti coating can follow, so repeat tags come off quickly.
“We had a pipe burst in our ceiling, water seeped into our walls and our unit was at a very high risk for mould :( Guosheng worked tirelessly to ensure the drying process went as smooth as possible, even working until the evening on a Friday to ensure our walls would be dry and safe over the weekend! An extremely proficient and productive company that thrives on providing excellent service and quality work. Thank you so much for all of your help! <3”
“Guosheng from Elite Restoration did an amazing job dealing with the water damage to my unit, due to a burst pipe. Nothing was too hard and Guosheng had multiple tricks up his sleeve to ensure maximum drying capacity. The communication throughout the whole process was excellent, which made this very stressful situation for me a lot easier to handle. Thanks so much Guosheng.☺️”
Old red brick is porous; paint sinks in, and a harsh clean leaves a ghost or scars the face.
Render and painted walls don’t tolerate high pressure, so a gentler approach is used.
Metal roller doors and signage need a remover that won’t take the finish with the paint.
Glass cleans well, but etched tags are cut into it and can’t be washed off.
Laser cleaning removes the paint layer from many hard surfaces without chemicals or abrasive blasting.
The job, step by step
Photos or a site look, and a quote.
A test patch on your surface.
Removal by laser, softwash or chemical remover.
A rinse and a check for shadows in good light.
An optional anti-graffiti coating, so the next tag lifts off quickly.
Fresh paint is far easier to remove than tags that have cured for weeks, so it pays to book early.
Councils, strata and businesses
Property managers and body corporates with walls that are hit often can treat them with an anti-graffiti coating, so each new tag becomes a short clean rather than a full removal.

Melbourne graffiti removal questions
Can graffiti be removed without damaging the surface?
Usually, yes. The method is matched to the surface and tested on a small patch first.
Can old graffiti or ghosting be removed?
Often. Old paint is harder, and porous brick can hold a faint shadow, but much of it lifts.
Can you stop it coming back?
A coating won’t stop tagging, but it means the next tag comes off quickly.
