"One coat fence life is rubbish"

I bought one coat fence life in June and I painted my fence. The paint is gone off the fence already. Im going to return what's left of this absolutely rubbish product for a full refund. A complete and total waste of days of my time painting a 3/4 acre of fencing around a field.

"Ronseal knot block performance poor"

After many years of using Ronseal wood stains and polyurethane varnishes (1980s, early 90s) always with great results, I thought I would try their paint, but it came as a big disappointment to find that the "knot block wood primer and undercoat" definitely does NOT do what it says on the tin.
After 3 coats on redwood architraving, the knots were still visible, and I ended up undercoating with some oil based paint before finishing.
HOWEVER, what came as an even bigger disappointment was Ronseal's response. I lost so much time with this I felt that I should write to Ronseal, explain the problem, offer to return the remaining 1/2 tin and in return get a refund or replacement, as it must be faulty.
(having since read B&Qs large number of 1*reviews on this product, it can clearly be of poor quality).
Ronseal, in fairness did respond, but weren't interested in helping unless I could produce photographic evidence of the problem, which, as job was complete at this time, I couldn't do.
So the upshot is that they have lost another customer, and have sent out the message that their reputation isn't worth the price of a 750ml tin of paint.
*EDIT*.....
They did respond to this review, however, and I received a refund.

"Ronseal wood filler"

Ronseal wood filler, bought from Edinburgh B+Q. The consistency of the product meant it was impossible to squeeze out the plastic tube it came in and tube had to be cut open to use the small amount I needed rendering the rest useless. Nine pounds fifty wasted! Will never use Ronseal again. Didn’t do what it said on the tin! Or plastic tube in this case.

"Bought anti condensation paint Matt…"

Bought anti condensation paint Matt white for kitchen ceiling, was an absolute disaster. As soon as I rolled it onto the ceiling it clumped up, tried different rollers but still clumpy. Ruined the ceiling. Caused so much distress. Wasted my time and energy. Have never experienced anything like it in my entire life.so disappointment.

"Bought one coat paint black pepper not…"

Bought one coat paint black pepper not one coat at all decided to paint my interior doors 2 coats it took once it’s dry if you catch the doors with your nail the paint chips off I have to touch the doors up all the time Ronseal have not been in touch after many emails and messaging.

"Awful paint and faulty sprayer"

Ronseal Fence paint is so full of sand and other contaminants it blocks the sprayer after a few seconds. Tried to contact 'customer service' but emails ignored

EDIT.....
After 'Ronseal' reached out to me all I can say is they're scrapping the barrel in the customer service to their clients. No, I won't waste anymore of my time stripping down the pump, photographing the issues, copying the batch numbers, receipts and god knows what other snippets of information you've requested! You only have to look at all the same issues within the reviews on here to know that your products don't work!

"Ronseal Garden Paint is the worst…"

Ronseal Garden Paint is the worst product I've ever used in fifty years of painting. It has the opacity of a shower of drizzle and if you try to apply it a bit thicker it runs and runs. Absolutely useless and infuriating product.

"Worst paint from Ronseal"

Bought One Coat Everywhere and I picked Charcoal Grey Matt paint for my living room one wall and I was very disappointed with the brand as I never bought Ronseal paint before it’s the first time and I had to repaint 3 times to stop the patch in most corners and still coming back white patch as my wall is brand new and plastering and my other three walls are Dulux paint have no issues apart of that Ronseal paint! I have got few photos of this issue to prove it but unfortunately here doesn’t have one to show the photos

"Ronseal Weatherproof Wood Paint - Worst Paint"

Ronseal Weatherproof Wood Paint Batch 43E10:24 Royal Blue. This paint is not fit for purpose. Multiple coats ( 4 applied )over primer undercoat to fine smooth wood ( Richard Burbridge Louvre Door) and yes following manufacturer's printed instructions, still grinning through. Its not far off a translucent pigmented wash. Awful paint to apply.
Customer ( so stupid I am guessing a bot) services after exchanges blamed me.!!! I have been painting for over 50 years and can claim a little knowledge and experience. Told me to strip back to wood and start again.

Carly Bot says

“As explained we would recommend that the wood is stripped back to bare wood and the paint is applied directly to the wood.

The product is not at fault here, it is due to the primer that has been put on underneath the paint.

Best Wishes,
Carly.
Ronseal Consumer Services “

The instructions on the tin do not say only for use on bare wood. In fact they specifically refer to application to existing painted surfaces!

No I can’t have a refund sanctioned by Ronseal.

Ronseal should check negative B & Q and Amazon Reviews of the same paint.

That's me and Ronseal Products finished with.

“It’s our mission to show the world that anybody can do DIY.” Perhaps not with certain of their products?

"Ronseal Trade Polyurethane Mattcoat Varnish"

I bought the tin recently from a Builders Merchant. When I went to stir it there was a thick layer of almost solid polyurethane at the bottom of the tin. I gave it a thorough mix with a clean stirrer but there were still lumps suspended in the varnish. Its going back to the shop. I found some old leftover Wickes varnish in the shed. Years old but it was better than the Ronseal.
