Excellent customer service

We have tricky walls and were given thorough advice on how to deal with them. There was a slight problem in that we didn't need as much paint as we were advised. However, Earles arranged for the excess paint to be returned.

Hi Su

Thanks for your positive feedback its always good to hear from customers experience in using our products. It can be difficult to estimate exact quantities of material as different surfaces can use less paint than others. As you indicate we can always arrange for returns if too much paint has been ordered.

Many Thanks

High quality fast product

Delivery and tracking was super quick, tub was good quality, the paint itself was beautiful, exceeded my expectations, needed a good stir but went on beautifully and was true to colour. Consistency was luxurious and creamy.

Good customer service

There was a problem with my Royal Mail 48 delivery but David helped me to sort it out.
Absolutely beautiful colour of paint ( Cornish Blue) but nothing like the colour of the wet paint shown on website, more of a deep rich cobalt. The paint is (as stated) very patchy on the first coat. Looks best after 3 coats.
I know that you need to get a tester before ordering but what would be really helpful on the website is a few more photos of the paint colours in situ on a building .

Hi Denny

Thanks for all your positive feedback on our paint. We love the Cornish Cove Blue as well. We always recommend customers to buy tester pots as this will give the true colour of the paint on their surfaces. It would be great to get more photo's from customers of the paint once they have used it but we dont really get very many.

Many Thanks

We had issues with DHL but Earles were great.

We had issues with DHL but I cannot fault the response of the company. Earles Paint were excellent at pursuing DHL and when that did not work they sent out a new one 24h with another delivery company. Very good customer service.

The product is really great and…Great product and customer service to match

The product is really great and everyone at Earle’s have been amazing in terms of offering advice in relation to these specialist products. Delivery of paint resulted in tin being damaged and team were really responsive when informed. We spoke to a number of specialist paint suppliers before purchasing paint and Earle’s were most helpful. Great decision to use them and we won’t go anywhere else in the future.

What I love about this product is that it is free of any additives, unlike the solvents and metals that you find in most hardware stores boiled linseed oil. Last thing I want is metals and solvents leaching from wood into my soil. Well done Earles Paint for producing such a good product.

Question: is the linseed you use organic. If not, why not?

Really impressed with the quality and coverage of my chalk paint. The order did take longer than I expected to arrive, almost 2 weeks but when I called I spoke to a very helpful guy who explained there had been a problem and the paint arrived a few days later. The coverage was much better than I expected leaving me plenty to use around the rest of the house!

Hi Sarah,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts on our Claypaint! We’re absolutely thrilled that you’re so impressed with the quality and how well it covers. All our clay paint is made by hand to order, and we only use natural, inorganic earth-based pigments. These pigments give our paints a much richer colour than the acrylic tinters found in mass-produced products.

Many Thanks

Masonry paint - Easy to apply, but allow time for colour to develop

I’m new to this paint, so the full curing time hasn’t passed yet. However, from what I’ve seen so far, it’s easy to mix and goes on smoothly. If you’re using it indoors, it is a messy job, so waterproof floor coverings are definitely recommended.

At first, the colour is quite difficult to judge, as it changes over time and builds with additional coats. I purchased Super White and could clearly see the colour developing as the paint dried.

So far, I’m pleased with how it applies and how the finish is forming.

Hi Lisa. Thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback on our masonry paint. Your right, the paint does take time for the colour to develop. Our mineral-based paint works in a completely different way to an acrylic-based paint, and a bit of patience is required to allow the paint to cure.

Many Thanks
