But there is a lot more we can do – just ask!
Who We Are

Roger also has numerous years’ experience working for various blasting companies – from super yachts to truck chassis, he has seen and done it all (with countless of t-shirts to prove it).

Multi-Media Blasting
Totally Blasted uses a range of different media materials, tailored to your specific project, to ensure you get the final result you are after. These are only a few of our favourites. If you would like to know more about the products we use and if they will suit your project, please contact us.
Sand (Garnet) Blasting
Garnet is a tough, durable grain that allows reduced material usage at minimum levels.
USES
Abrasive blast cleaning, concrete etching, corrosion and rust cleaning
BENEFITS
Cheapest of all media so can cover a larger area for a smaller cost than Soda, Glass Bead or Walnut Shell
Soda Blasting
100% Food Grade Sodium Bicarbonate.
USES
Can remove a number of materials from surfaces such as steel, aluminium, wood, sheet metal, brick, concrete, granite, chrome, glass and fibreglass.
BENEFITS
Environmentally friendly – can be washed down drains for reduced clean up time. Cost Effective.
Walnut Shell Blasting
Made from crush shells of walnuts.
USES
Polish & clean metals, fiberglass, stone, wood and plastics. Is also effective at deburring products from mouldings, castings and electrical works. Mostly used in the automotive and aircraft industries.
BENEFITS
Natural product that is non-toxic and biodegradable.
Glass Bead Blasting
Glass sandblasting beads have become the leading fine abrasive, in the impact sandblasting process, for cleaning, finishing and shot peening.
USES
Metal cleaning, finishing, peening and deburring
BENEFITS
Rapid and controlled results – doesn’t affect the substrate as much as Garnet.

what we do
Whether you want a wood look finish, acid wash finish, or etching carried out on your concrete, we can do it all. Working with your designer we will take care of everything - including the stencil.
See our gallery for photos on a range of jobs we have completed.
New concrete does well when protected.
Working closely with numerous manufacturers, we have a range of products that we can apply to your concrete to give it that extra protection.
Ranging in price from $59.99-$74.99 per m2 dependent on the product you choose to go with. Pricing includes surface preparation and water blasting.
Whether it’s the garden shed or a large, commercial building that needs a repaint – we’re your team! With our access to specialised coating systems, we can ensure you get the best coverage for the best price in the colour scheme of your choice.
We also cover intumescent coating systems and specialised steel coating systems to ensure your new or existing building meets all standards and compliance codes.
Using Garnet we will blast away any unsound material or blast all existing paint coatings off as part of the preparation process for your chosen coating system.
We can also do any additional mechanical hand preparation that is required - please discuss this option with us.
Our recommendation for an approved coating system is Polyaspartics & Polyureas. Our recommended applicator for this system is Bruce Cameron from Beccote Ltd.
Bruce is contactable via email bruce@beccote.co.nz.
If you are unsure if we do a specific task, please do not hesitate to ask. Chances are, we can!
our gear
Manufactured by Schmidt Abrasive Blasting, we run a M31 Multi-Media Unit. It is designed to be used with a broader range of abrasive media than a typical blaster, including sodium bicarbonate, aluminum oxide, plastic, glass beads, crushed glass and even steel grit.
It has features to allow for blasting at high or low pressure, as well as features for improved abrasive flow and flow control. These include a pressure regulator to reduce blast air pressure when working with delicate objects, full pressure bypass for working with tougher applications and differential pressure control for enhanced operation when blasting with lightweight abrasives.
A media vibrator and the built-in efficiency of the Schmidt 90° cone bottom assist with smooth flow of abrasive, regardless of media type.
Manufactured by Syntech here in New Zealand, our "little" blast pot weighs in at a measly 30kg when empty and holds 100kg of blast media.
Having been used on a range of substrates, this blast pot is perfect for tackling those smaller jobs or areas that we can't access with our big pot.
Proven to be most effective at removing unwanted tyre marks of curbing with glass bead and heavy build up of pool chemicals of pavers. See our gallery for photos of such projects.
In March 2018 we purchased our first Compressor – Chicago Pnuematic’s CPS 11.0. The CPS 11.0 is built for demanding construction and maintenance applications. Perfect for surface drilling, abrasive blasting and ice blasting, this compressor also excels in road work and shotcrete pumping.
It is one of the best compressors on the market and will allow us to reach so much more of New Zealand!
