About Taubmans

Taubmans is a major Australian paint brand, headquartered in Melbourne and owned by global coatings company PPG Industries. It manufactures and supplies interior and exterior house paints, primers, undercoats, specialty coatings, woodcare products, and painting accessories. Taubmans products are sold across Australia through hardware chains (such as large home improvement retailers), independent paint stores, and Taubmans Professional Trade Centres, and the company also offers colour-matching tools, online colour selection, and technical advice for both DIY customers and professional painters.

A Taubmans charge on your bank or card statement usually relates to a purchase of paint or painting supplies either in-store at a Taubmans Trade Centre or via a retailer that processes payments under the Taubmans or PPG name. This may include one-off purchases of paint tins, accessories, or specialty coatings, trade account payments, or online orders placed through taubmans.com.au or a linked retailer. Charges can also appear for colour-tinting services, colour consulting, or delivery fees, and may show as a single transaction, part of a larger invoice, or a periodic payment if you have a trade account with monthly billing. In some cases you may see a small temporary authorization hold when you first add or update a card for an account or phone order.

To verify a Taubmans charge, start by checking recent receipts from paint or hardware stores, online order confirmation emails, or invoices from your painter or decorator (they may have purchased Taubmans products on your behalf). Match the transaction date and amount with any Taubmans Trade Centre or hardware store visit, and review any trade or business account statements you hold with Taubmans or PPG. If you still have questions, contact Taubmans via the support/contact details at taubmans.com.au or call the customer service number listed there, and provide the exact transaction date, amount, and the merchant description from your statement. For purchases made through a retailer (for example a large home improvement chain), most billing and refund issues—such as incorrect amounts, duplicate charges, or returns—must be handled directly with the store where you paid, following that retailer’s refund and returns policy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a Taubmans or PPG charge on my bank statement?

You’ll usually see a Taubmans or PPG charge after purchasing paint, primers, or painting accessories at a Taubmans Trade Centre or a participating hardware/paint retailer. The charge may also appear under a variation such as “PPG Industries,” “Taubmans Trade,” or the name of the specific Taubmans outlet. If you hired a painter, they may have processed materials through a Taubmans trade account and passed the cost to you as part of their invoice—check their bill to see if Taubmans products are listed.

What are common Taubmans charge amounts?

Common Taubmans-related charges can range from smaller amounts (around AUD $20–$60) for sample pots, small tins, or accessories, up to a few hundred dollars for multiple 10L drums or full-house repaint supplies. Trade customers may see larger consolidated charges reflecting multiple products on a single invoice. Always compare the amount on your statement to your invoice or receipt, as final totals can include tinting fees, specialty coatings, and delivery charges.

Does Taubmans offer subscriptions or recurring billing?

Taubmans does not typically run consumer subscription plans like streaming or software services, so most customers only see one-off purchase charges. However, trade and business customers may have trade accounts with 30‑day or monthly terms, where multiple purchases are billed together on a statement date. In those cases, the recurring pattern you see on your bank statement may correspond to regular trade account payments rather than a consumer subscription.

Why do I see a small pending or $1–$5 Taubmans/PPG authorization on my card?

A small pending amount (for example, $1–$5 or a similar low value) may be a temporary authorization Taubmans or a related payment processor places to verify your card when you place an order, pay over the phone, or update your payment details. This is not an actual charge and should drop off or be reversed automatically within a few business days. If the amount posts as a completed charge and does not match any purchase or invoice, contact your bank and Taubmans customer service for clarification.

How can I get a copy of my Taubmans receipt or invoice?

If you bought directly from a Taubmans Trade Centre, you can request a reprint of your invoice by visiting or calling the store and providing the approximate date, amount, and last four digits of the card used. For purchases through a hardware or paint retailer, you’ll need to contact that store’s customer service, as they handle their own sales and receipts. Trade account holders can usually access copies of invoices and statements via their trade portal or by contacting their Taubmans/PPG account manager.

How do I return Taubmans paint or request a refund for a charge?

Returns and refunds are generally handled by the place where you made the purchase—either a Taubmans Trade Centre or the retail store that processed your payment. Many retailers accept returns on unopened, non-tinted paint within a specified timeframe, but custom-tinted or mixed colours are often not refundable under standard industry practice, so check the store’s policy carefully. Bring your original receipt, the card used for payment, and the product in saleable condition; for trade accounts, refunds or credits will usually appear on your next statement.

How can I dispute an incorrect Taubmans charge or a duplicate payment?

First, compare the charge against your receipts and any invoices to rule out split payments or multiple visits on the same day. If you still believe you were charged incorrectly or see a duplicate transaction, contact the store or Taubmans Trade Centre where you paid and provide the transaction details from your statement. If the issue can’t be resolved directly or you suspect fraud, notify your bank or card issuer promptly to dispute the charge and request a card replacement if needed.

How do I contact Taubmans about a charge or product issue?

Go to taubmans.com.au and use the Contact or Support section to submit an enquiry, including details of your transaction (date, amount, and how it appears on your statement). You can also call the customer service number listed on the website during business hours, or speak directly with your local Taubmans Trade Centre if the purchase was made in-store. For issues with purchases made at third‑party retailers, you’ll usually need to contact that store first, as they control billing and refunds.
