"Don't buy Ronseal Tile Paint"

Bought a small can of Ronseal white tile paint and mixed it up before using but it was still like water, dripping all over the place and making a huge mess. I had primed the wall first with suitable paint and after my first coat of Ronseal I can definitely say it was the worst paint I have ever used. When it dries I will sand drip marks and buy a good brand to finish the job!

"Worst paint I've ever used"

Wish I had read some reviews before wasting my time and money. I trusted Ronseal to "do exactly what it says on the tin". I bought a 750 ml tin of gloss, Stays White 2 in 1 Primer & Paint for £13.99 - almost three times the cost of a 'standard' non-drip gloss. The 'tin' promises the gloss will prime and paint, providing a great finish in just 2 coats. After 2 coats on bare wood, prepped as instructed, the finish is completely translucent, primed perhaps but definitely not painted. Just to make sure it wasn't because of a problem with the wood, I tried a couple of coats on the inside of a door frame which was previously painted white, but had yellowed a little - it's still yellow - no visible difference at all.

"Not what it says on the tin!"

Can anyone tell me why after 5 coats of Ron seal fence life plus in warm stone my fence is grey! We had to buy another large tin to cover 3,5 fence panels. I kept going as I thought it would dry lighter eventually. Woke this morning to a still very grey fence! Very frustrating!

"Payed nearly £100 for two 5ltr tins of…"

Payed nearly £100 for two 5ltr tins of ultimate decking stain thought buy the best absolute rubbish had two coats and looks awful like water.I might aswell have bought cheap fence stain for £10 for
12ltrs would saved money and time can5see it lasting long.
We have now run out of stain three coats still looks a mess don't know whether to cut our losses and buy another brand or buy more of this in the hope it will be exceptable.

"Absolutely shocking fence pain…"

Bought the Ronseal fence paint on the basis of having had a good experience previously. Oh how I have regretted my decision of buying this utter rubbish. As many reviewers have said, the paint is jelly like and very watery. It covers absolutely nothing due to being so thin and watery.
After 8!!! applications it finally looks vaguely acceptable on my gate and bin store. This has taken me 3 days to allow for the paint to dry.
I’m under no illusion, that I’ll have to repaint everything again in a few months.
I won’t EVER buy Ronseal again.

"Shocking inconsistency in paint shades"

Today, Sunday 13th April, I purchased two tins of Ronseal Ultimate Protection Decking Paint in the shade ‘Slate’. After thoroughly preparing my decking, I used the first tin, which applied as a light grey with a blue tint. However, upon opening and applying the second tin, it became immediately apparent that the shade was significantly different—much darker grey, albeit still with a blue tint.

While I understand there can sometimes be slight variation between batches, the difference in these tins is substantial and unacceptable. I have photos to clearly demonstrate the contrast, and I’m confident anyone will agree that this is not within acceptable manufacturing tolerance.

I have spent the majority of my day preparing and painting my decking, only to be left with a patchwork finish in two completely different colours.
