Satin for the kitchen

I bought the satin finish for my kitchen cupboards which are a bit tricky with grease. It's wiped clean well so far and the colour is spot on. The only slight annoyance was the label on the tin being a bit hard to read. Otherwise happy.

Better than the usual online option

I'd been buying from a different online paint seller for years, and this one beats them on the range of finishes. The eggshell I got goes on smoothly and doesn't streak like the old brand did. Delivery was quick and the tin arrived undamaged. I'm sold on them now.

First order, really pleased

Honestly this was my first time buying from them and I'm already planning the next order. The checkout was quick, the tins turned up on the Thursday as promised, and the emulsion for my bedroom covered in two coats.

Lovely finish on the sideboard

I was rather pleased with how the hand painted sideboard turned out, the matt finish has come up beautifully. I'd been worried the colour would look different on the wall to the sample on screen but it's really close. The pots arrived well packed and the instructions on the label were clear, which I appreciated. I shall certainly order from them again when the hall needs doing.

Needed primer for the bathroom

My bathroom ceiling had a damp stain and I needed something that would stop it coming back through the paint. Found a stain blocking primer on the site and ordered it on the Friday. It came Monday but the tin was slightly dented, nothing leaking. Had to message them to ask about a replacement and it took a few days to sort out.

Exterior masonry paint

Went with their masonry paint for the back wall of the house. I'd looked at three other brands before and this one was clearly the best value for the coverage. Two coats did the whole wall. Delivery was quick and everything arrived as ordered.

good for repainting the hall

I have bought from them for years now and this order was no different, they got the emulsion to me well within the week. Colour matched what I chose on the sample pot. The only thing I'd flag is the postage has crept up a bit since last time, but it's still reasonable. I'd happily order from them again.

better than the big DIY shop

I used to buy my paint from the big DIY chain down the road, but I've switched to this site for the last three projects. The colour range is wider and the paint covers in fewer coats than what I was getting before. Delivery to my door saves me the drive and the carrying. I'd not go back now.

Good stuff, slow to sort a sample

The eggshell I went for is lovely and covers in two coats, which is what I wanted for the nursery walls. The only niggle was the sample pot I ordered first, it took a couple of days to show up and the colour was a shade lighter than the chip. Once I had the full tin though it was spot on. Price is a bit above the other shops I looked at but the finish is worth it.

needed a fast drying undercoat

I needed an undercoat that would dry quickly because I was working to a tight schedule on a rental flat. Ordered on the Thursday and it was on my doorstep Friday morning. The coverage on the undercoat is good and it dried in around two hours. Fine for what I needed.

wall paint for the spare room

I've been ordering from this lot for a good while now, and the emulsion for the spare room was the usual reliable stuff. Delivery came within a couple of days as normal. Coverage is solid and the colour is what I picked. No complaints from me this time.

Sample pots and a bit of a wait

I needed a few sample pots to decide on a shade for the lounge, and I ordered them through the site on a Tuesday. They were perfectly good once they arrived, but the delivery took longer than the website suggested it would. I did appreciate the clear labels on each pot, which saved me a great deal of trouble.

why I needed a sealant

I needed a sealant for the windows because the old one had cracked and let in draughts. Ordered on a weekday and it arrived the following week, which was a bit slower than I'd hoped. The sealant itself went on neatly and seems to be holding. Customer service took a while to reply to my question about the amount needed.

Better price than the local shop

Compared with buying from the local decorating shop, this was noticeably cheaper for the same brand of emulsion. The tins arrived in good nick and the colour matched the chart. I saved a fair bit on the whole kitchen job. Happy with it.

Sorted my flat in a day

Ordered on a Sunday night and the tins were on the doorstep Tuesday morning. Found the paint I wanted without any faff, the filter on finish type was really useful. Happy with it, will be back.

The best I've used

This is the best paint I've used for a long time, and I've painted most rooms in my house. The matt finish is smooth and hides marks easily. It's good value for the quality and everything arrived as I ordered it. I'll be buying from here again.

decent but not the cheapest

Honestly the gloss I got is good quality and I'd use it again. I'd compared three sites before picking this one and they weren't the cheapest, a couple were a bit less. The ordering process was simple and the tin arrived with the right colour. Would have liked a slightly better price for a full five-litre tin.

first order, mostly fine

This was my first time ordering from them and I compared it against a big paint brand before buying. Their price was about the same but they had a better choice of finishes. The delivery came with a minor dent on one tin but the paint inside was fine. Customer service sorted a replacement without much fuss.

Paint roller kit from them

Ordered the roller and tray set last week and it arrived in two days which was fine. The roller sleeve is a bit thin though, sheds fluff on the first coat and I had to pick bits off the wall. Does the job for a bedroom but I'd probably spend a bit more next time for something nicer. Price was ok, not the cheapest I looked at.
