For over 68 years Franklins has been a trusted name for premium bathroomware in New Zealand. As a family-run business, they’ve served architects, homeowners, developers, builders and plumbers, importing exclusive, high quality bathroom products from Europe. 

Franklins understands the legacy of quality. They prioritise the use of high-quality base materials, ensuring their products are not only durable but also safe for everyday use. This commitment to quality is a testament to their belief that a bathroom should be built to last, offering peace of mind to customers for years to come.

From the time-consuming hand-crafted finishes passed down through generations of family artisans, to the sustainable practices that underpin many of their European manufacturers. Franklin's takes pride in the age-old craftsmanship traditions and eco-conscious sourcing of their products.

It's about creating decorative finishes that reflect the style and ambience of your home. Colour Homes use a range of quality paints and applications to achieve something that is unique and in keeping with your vision and create a wow factor for all interior and exterior painting.
