Unpleasant Customer Service Experience – Talked Over Rather Than Helped

I contacted customer services at early enquiry stage seeking advice about coatings for a warehouse roller door and explained I was looking to understand broad options before investigating specification details. Unfortunately I found the interaction difficult and not particularly collaborative. I felt interrupted and talked over, and the conversation became highly technical very quickly without much attempt to understand the problem I was trying to solve. I appreciate technical information is important, but I came away feeling unsupported rather than advised. A more consultative approach would have been appreciated.

Hello Rachelle,

Thank you for taking the time to explain your experience. We’re sorry to read that the conversation felt more technical than helpful, and that you came away feeling talked over rather than properly advised.

That isn’t how we want early-stage coating advice to feel. Nick, our Technical Manager, would welcome the chance to speak with you directly, understand what happened, and help with your warehouse roller door enquiry in a more consultative way.

Please call and ask for Nick on 0113 2455450 and choose option 2, or email nick@rawlinspaints.com, and we’ll do our best to help.

Yours sincerely,

Rawlins Paints

Small area resin bound DIY

Great service, product was spot on, my only quibble would be that the aggregate size is bigger than I expected- maybe read the product description more than I did!!!! Worked well and looks really good

Floor paint.

Good delivery.
Paint was water based white concrete Coovar for the edge of steps leading to a public building. It coverd easily. The finish was very bright. So far, it is wearing well. Plenty in the tin for 2 more coats in the future.

Glad to hear delivery went smoothly and the paint was easy to apply, Paul. Step edges need a clear, durable finish, so it’s encouraging to hear the Coo-Var coating is wearing well.

Had a pricey tin of paint delivered from Rawlings. It was damaged in transport - tin arrived bent, lid off and half empty.

To be fair the courier must have really bashed it about, but the tin itself could have been packaged better.

Called Rawlings and they were very apologetic and 100% helpful. Next day I had a replacement tin. This time they went to town on the packaging. 👌

Great paint, nice to deal with.

Really appreciate the fair feedback. Damage in transit is frustrating, especially with a specialist paint order, so we're pleased the team could get a replacement out quickly. Great to hear the second delivery was better protected and the paint hit the mark.

Troublesome base layers on Dutch Barge

So I'm painting a Dutch Barge over red oxides and other paints, and asked James @ Rawlins for advice. He recommended Junolac anti-corrosive paint. This is a beautiful paint, I loved putting it on, and after really simple prep of surfaces the finish is outstanding. The Barge really pops in sky blue and cream. Brilliant!

Thanks for such a brilliant review, Andy. Sounds like a fantastic project, and great to hear James pointed you towards the right product for it. Junolac has a really nice finish when it goes on well, so it’s good to know you enjoyed using it too. Sky blue and cream on a Dutch barge sounds spot on - would love to see the finished result.
