"I've never seen paint like it...watery…"

I've never seen paint like it...watery jelly, reminds me of school deserts, absolutely useless in application...I doubt I can return it either as it seems by all the reviews this is how the product should be, definitely doesn't do what it says on the tin... absolutely a waste of my hard earned money!

"Awful product"

Awful product. Like others said, their One Coat has jelly-like consistency and nothing close to one coat only. We also got a refill pouch and it's absolutely useless, it's so watery it disappears as soon as you apply it.

"Definitely NOT one coat"

Same as a lot of others on reviewing this product..... It says it needs just ONE COAT...... It's called Ronseal One Coat Fence Paint. Nope...... it needs at least 3 coats. I couldn't believe it and even caked it on, so thickly in areas to see if it made a difference. Nope. No difference. It's certainly not worthy of its name or claim to be One Coat.

"Used their new ‘One Coat Everywhere’…"

Used their new ‘One Coat Everywhere’ product. Again water-based rubbish. Sold as durable, grease proof, can wash it down etc. Wiped once with a damp cloth, ever so lightly, and you can see the marks where the micro fibre cloth has marked the sheen in the paint.

It’s basically just cheap emulsion with clever branding. Does not perform how the labels would lead you to believe.

"Terrible Terrible product"

Terrible Terrible product.

Ronseal fence life + 5 year ( safe)


This stuff is terrible. Just horrible runny jelly like substance, no matter how much you mix it. It just doesn’t stick to the brush or the wood. Coat after coat and the stuff just disappeared from the wood. It seems to be 90 % water with a hint of colour. Its just complete garbage. Will go with a different brand and restart as it’s just horrible and un usable.
I took one tub back to the shop as I originally though it was off but it appears this is just how it it.

"Graphite interior varnish "

We purchased graphite interior varnish for our wooden living room floor after reading some reviews saying it was the best and you could walk across it in high heels and it wouldn't chip. My husband spent hours and a lot of money preparing the floor ready to varnish and he followed ALL directions on the tin whilst applying it. It came out really thick like paint and you couldn't see the wood grain through it. We thought that once it had time to soak in it would look different the next day. However it didn't, it was applied less than a month and it was already looking scuffed and chipped. It has now been 3 months since it was done and it looks like it's been down years.

"WTF is this crap"

How are Ronseal allowed to sell this?
And what exactly is it? It like painting using runny jelly, when comes into contact with a porous surface it evaporates instantaneously. Like a really bad magic trick.

"Thousands of people cannot be wrong...!!"

Anyone wishing to sign up to a Class Action claim against Ronseal products? Like the thousands and thousands of people told that they have not applied the product properly, its an insult having paid so much money to them for such inferior products! 5 year product promise?? They have stopped replying to me now, so it isn't ending here. Unlike Ronseal products, I promise to ensure a satisfactory result! I even have the backing of Trading Standards whom have advised the course of action I need to take.

"meant to be one coat and 5 years…"

meant to be one coat and 5 years weather proof should be renamed 100 coats and 5 months weatherproof spent a small fortune on the grey paint got the supposed one coat that guarantees to last 5 years all weather proof. its took 4 or 5 coats its like water yes weve stirred it shaken it etc and it all needs redoing again this year when it only got done in August
Don't waste your money

"Never again am I buying Ronseal"

Never again am I spending £28 x 2 tins of ronseal slate coloured fence paint. I have 15 fence panels to paint and 1 panel is taking 4 coats and it still needs another 1 or 2.. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON TINS OF WATER.. IT WILL TAKE YOU FOREVER!!!!!
