Substandard Paint & Service
I ordered a tin of Beige 03 along with a tin of Teal 02 and some other products just prior to Christmas. In January we realised one more tin of Beige 03 was required to finish the job, which arrived quickly, but unfortunately we discovered that the paint in each tin were completely different shades and nowhere near alike.
I contacted customer services on day the afternoon of day one of the decorators starting the job (Monday) and asked for a replacement tin to be sent but received no response and as I was paying for the decorators time this week I had to source alternative paint from elsewhere. As such I have requested a refund of £87 to cover the cost of the two tins I purchased plus postage. Today is Thursday, the job is nearly finished and yet I still haven’t received a response from Lick Customer Service other than to say that they hadn’t received my original email and to resend it (despite it being replied to and clearly visible lower down in the thread - their email even had the same subject heading of my original email so I don’t see how their claim could be true).
Just now I have asked for my refund to be processed and received a request to rate their service! Unbelievable! Needless to say I did so and it wasn’t positive.
There’s no phone number to call and my email requests are being ignored. Terrible paint and terrible customer service.

Hi Anne-Marie,
Thank you for your review.
We’re sorry to hear about your experience. After investigating, we can see that the earlier emails you sent were unfortunately not received by our team, which led to a delay in responding to you.
Our Customer Support team has since been in direct contact with you to review the issue, and a full refund for the original purchase has now been processed. Confirmation has been sent, and the funds will return to your original payment method within the advised timeframe.
We apologise again for the frustration this caused and appreciate you bringing the matter to our attention.

Please sell a color chart
I wish lick would sell a regular colour chart as well as the peel and stick samples. It's infeasible to keep buying samples only to be completely surprised by the colour. The ones I ordered all looked totally different to the website. I'll be using paint brands with color charts.
January 29, 2026
Reply from Lick
Hi Alice,
Thank you for your feedback.
We offer a digital colour chart on our website to help customers explore and narrow down shades before ordering Peel & Stick samples. Our Peel & Stick samples are made with real paint, so they show the true tone and finish in your own lighting — something a printed colour chart can’t accurately replicate. Screen settings and room lighting can significantly affect how a colour appears, which is why sampling at home is the most reliable way to choose with confidence.
We understand it’s an extra step, but it’s designed to prevent larger disappointments once a full tin is opened. If you’d ever like help shortlisting shades before ordering samples, our team would be very happy to assist.

Your paint is gorgeous!!!
Your paint is gorgeous!!! It goes on really well, great coverage and a fabulous depth of colour. We painted our whole lounge in Blue 06 and, every time I walk in, I just love it ( it was cream and now so different!!) The Matt seems to cover up any lumps and bumps really well so we’ve just decided to do our bedroom in Teal 02… think we are addicted now, thank you xxxx

Hi Gabby,
Thank you! 💙 We’re thrilled you love Blue 06 in your lounge and that the Matt finish worked so well. Teal 02 for the bedroom sounds amazing - looks like you’ve caught the Lick paint bug! 😄

Worst Paint Ever!
Purchased 3 tins of the Brown eggshell emulsion.
Absolutely the worst paint we've ever used, and we've used loads over many years.
Cut a a long story short we ended up getting refunded for all 3 tins. Lickpro customer service was an absolute disgrace and tried every trick in the book not to refund us and blame the condition of our walls etc etc, which are perfect. Ended up buying Dulux Heritage emulsion and it went on lovely without any issues whatsoever unlike the awful lickpro.
You would think after all the hassle we had with this rubbish paint that lickpro would want the paint that we purchased sent back to themselves for analysis, they wasn't even interested.
Incredible.
Appalling paint.
Rubbish customer service.
Never will we purchase lickpro paint again!

Swatches
Received the swatches incredibly quickly, thank you, however, didnt match the colour shown online sadly. Whilst I appreciate your phone can have a difference of colours, we did check across 3 difference devices (android/apple) so was a waste of money as wasnt the colour we would have wanted.

Hi Kiki,
Thank you for your feedback and for highlighting the quick delivery, we’re glad that part of the experience was positive.
Colours viewed on phones, tablets, and computers can vary significantly depending on screen settings, which is why our peel-and-stick samples are made using real paint. They’re designed to give the most accurate representation of the colour in your own space and can be moved around to see how they look in different lighting throughout the day.
We appreciate your understanding and are sorry the shade wasn’t right for your project on this occasion.

Hi Richard,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about the frustration this situation caused and understand how delivery delays can impact a project.
After reviewing your order and our correspondence, we can confirm that the delivery address used by DHL was the exact address entered at checkout.
Unfortunately, the address referenced in your email was not the address provided on the order, which meant DHL were unable to deliver to the intended location.
While we always do our best to support our customers, we are reliant on the accuracy of the delivery details supplied at checkout. We would kindly recommend double-checking these details when placing future orders to avoid similar issues.
We appreciate your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to provide a smoother experience next time.
