Very helpful on the phone, excellent paint. The professional decorators who did the whole exterior in white masonry paint were doubtful at first but then converted. Still white white after 2+ years... See more

I’m new to this paint, so the full curing time hasn’t passed yet. However, from what I’ve seen so far, it’s easy to mix and goes on smoothly. If you’re using it indoors, it is a messy job, so wate... See more

Hi Nick.
Thanks for your feedback, we always like to hear back from our customers on their experience in using our company.
Unfortunately on this occasion, we have all been let down by Royal Mail. Your order was received on the 2nd of December we packed and dispatched from our warehouse on a 48hr tracked delivery on the the same day.
I just checked your tracking which seems a little vague. I will be in contact to discuss.

Very helpful staff who re-sent my item cost free after the Royal mail lost it (and denied all responsibility for doing so).

Ordered some more paint as it is so good
Used this paint in both matt and gloss. I am extremely happy with it and would recommend it to anyone. There are different reviews from people using it, but as long as you do your prep right, then it goes on beautifully and leaves an amazing finish. But do not take my word for it, get some samples and try them. Please note that the gloss version of the paint reads differently from the matt samples on the colour chart, so please always test before committing to a big tin.

Ordered clay based paint in the afternoon and it was delivered the following morning, the paint itself looks amazing in the living room of our old cottage, far better than I was expecting! The information sheets that came with the paint were very helpful, the paint is great value... Love it!

Easy ordering online, great price
Easy ordering online. Clear instructions. Good price compared with similar products (silicate masonry paint). Readily accepted a swap when I realised the colour choice was wrong.

Dissapointed
I ordered 3 buckets of mineral paint from this company. Disappointed with the paint so wanted to return 2 buckets for a refund, still unopen and new, FYA I am still within 14 days of delivery according to their T&Cs. Some guy called David emailed me back after a few days saying "Thanks for getting in contact. Yes we can either organise the return for you or you can return the items to us yourself. Cost for us to arrange either a collection or return labels which will be £10.00 plus VAT. Let me know what you would like to do and we can get a collection or return labels organised for you if required. Kind Regards, David". So I emailed back confirming £10 + VAT is fine and that I would like them to organize the return label. It's been 2 weeks and nothing. I emailed them a few times again and again but no reply. What is going on? Order #8230 & #8759. Also, with regards to the quality of the paint, I am disappointed as the paint is definitely not smooth. I did everything as per instructions, 1:1 ratio with water, properly mixed, surface primed etc. They say to use within 2 hours once mixed. I don't know how is that possible because this paint dries too quickly and it isn't workable after 15-20 minutes. After 20 minutes it thickens up like a dough and it's too thick to apply evenly or smoothly, leaving the painted area look rough and rustic. Quite disappointed with this company. Can you contact me back and organize the return label so I can return the unused paints for a refund???

Hi and thanks for the feedback we are always interested in our customers experience positive and negative it all helps. I would just like to apologise for the delay in organising the return. Its something we will have to look at improving how we organise our returns with a more structured system.
As for the paint application we were disappointed to hear that you were unhappy with the finish, if customers are experiencing any difficulty in application or using our paints, we are always here for help and advice on application, different surfaces can affect the application of the paint. Thanks again for you feedback and we are sorry you have not had a positive experience.

David is absolutely fantastic - delivering the most incredible and efficient service. The paint itself (chalk paint for lime) is amazing; texture, colour, coverage etc ! All fantastic - I’ll be using Earle’s paint again . Thank you 😊
