Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Always my first choice for paint... their colour matching service is very accurate. They even managed to match a paint that had gone out of production. Great and attentive service.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Order arrived very quickly. Product has been perfect for the restoration in an older house. Really pleased with the final condition after only 2 coats. Only down side was the tin the paint arrived in... See more

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Great paint for painting furniture. Just would be great to have tester pots or colour paper samples. Difficult to choose colours with a chart. But a great company to use.

any colour so .ong as it's white

advertise paint as available in a large number of colours. accept an order for a paint in a colour. then call customer to say "we can't do that shade of yellow" Accept an order for "nearest colour to the unavailable shade" Then call customer another day to say "it's white or magnolia only"

Reply from Holman Specialist Paints

Hi Iain,
Thank you for taking the time to write your review.
The product that was purchased, Glixtone Fungi Shield Anti-Mould Paint, is available in a large selection of colours, although these are lighter shades and some mid range colours. Deep and dark colours are not available in this particular product.
The reason is that this product is only available in a White base, so however much pigment is added, it will not reach a deep or dark colour.
The product description on our website does state "Can be tinted to Pastel shades", but you are correct to say that there was a tab on our website that indicated it could be tinted to any colour (as most of our paints can be), so please accept our apologies for this confusion. This tab has now been removed and replaced with a more accurate "Tintable" tag.

As it should be

The online site is easier to navigate than others.
Prompt confirmation of placed order and thereafter running update on the status of my order.

very responsive, friendly and knowledgeable staff

Staff were very responsive, knowledgeable and friendly. They were able to answer all my technical queries and were really helpful when I had to add to an order last minute, and also sorted out a replacement shipment quickly when one was damaged by the courier. Thank you!
