Hi Gerard, Thanks a million for the kind words! We’re thrilled to hear you found the service efficient, and we really appreciate your support. Looking forward to helping you soon with your next painting project!
What an amazing service
What an amazing service. Paint delivered less than 24 hours after I ordered it. Admittedly, whoever delivered it gave it to my next-door neighbour, although my address was clearly written and the number of the house is on the pillar. But he dropped it in to me a few minutes later.

Hi Davida,
Thanks so much for the great feedback. We're delighted you were happy with the speedy delivery! 😊
Apologies for the slight mix-up with the delivery location, but we're happy to hear that it was rectified so quickly. We’ll certainly pass this on to our delivery team to help avoid it happening again.
Thanks again for your support and best of luck with your painting project!
Only ok
Good selection of quality brands but our local store in Blanchardstown employs staff who lack in technical expertise, who cannot give good advice for any out of the ordinary projects and do not refer you to someone who can. Reading the information off the tin to me is not good enough. I’ll be returning to my tried and tested paint shop.

Incorrect colour shade
The colour shade of the paint was not what was on the tin. The difference was stark and very disappointing

Hiya John, Cheers for leaving such a detailed review! We’re delighted you had such a positive experience with our online service and found the website easy to use. It’s great to hear everything arrived on time and that our team made a good impression. We really appreciate the recommendation!
Absolutely wonderful experience.
Absolutely wonderful experience that not only offered paint for the cheapest price in Ireland (will also price match) but also provided next day free delivery and a wet paint sign thrown in for good measure. Pat McDonnell proves that even with the costs of having physical stores and premium online services, shopping local (ish) and Irish can be the obvious choice. I highly recommend.
