You want real Paint?

I've used Paint Shed a few times now and top service. I have noticed getting proper undercoat and Gloss in shops now is getting harder so this is my go to. Highly recommend the McPherson oil based paints.

Disappointed that the first product I received was not what I ordered. However, I was impressed with the customer relations department who resolved the issue very quickly and I received my correct order within a couple of days. The product I ordered was competitively priced and I would certainly used The Paint Shop again.

Great service and speedy delivery

Pushed to get on and redecorate by a recent bereavement I decided to give Paint Shed a go. Great range of paint and their colour match paints are spot on. Special shout out to Luke who dealt with my addled brain with patience and efficiency. Paint was delivered really fast, the morning after we agreed colours, and both delivery ladies were great. Fab service, would highly recommend.

Gosh they want another review

Gosh, I am amazed they are still asking for a review. My last one was less than positive and they made it clear I had given the wrong answer.. even telling me to shop elsewhere in the future. On a positive note they did arrange collection of the damaged paint tins and did give a refund.. trouble was I needed the paint in non damaged containers not the money back. As advised by The Paint Shed I will shop somewhere else in the future
