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.
Read moreI 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.
Read moreThe 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.
Read moreI'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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
