Ease of application and speed of drying. Aim for three coats if applied by brushing for consistency and coverage but because it dries so quickly you can get three coats on in a single day.

Great company and great products

Great company and great products - used the Brick Repair Filler, the Stone Paint and Brick Repair Coating to fix my hose back wall when we removed a rotten conservatory - the attachment holes and the good-awful mess left when removing the bitumen flashing tape have all disappreared and the bricks are indistinguisable from new - fantastic! The products are not cheap, but worth every penny - just make sure that you order the colour charts and match (as near as possible) the colours when you order. I had to do a little mixing myself to get an exact match, but that is due to the multi-coloured nature of the bricks used when the house was built.

Really great product and provided a stone finish that exceeded our expectations. We have a house built in 1631, our stone mullion windows have been patched and repaired over the years and the painted with some awful colours (by previous occupants), they then partly pealed and looks shabby for years. This colour and paint has given the very close effect of returning them to their former glory. Thank you.

Fireplace refurbished with Blackpearl

Excellent product for the refurbishment of a wooden fireplace surround and stone back and hearth. I used grey primer, Blackpearl stone on the fireplace and Blackpearl smooth on the back plate and hearth and am delighted with the results.

Great product, fully recommend

Had a number of bricks which had blown faces to various degrees. Had filled some of the smaller areas but couldn't find a paint that was close to matching our brick colour. Searched and found Stonelux, first ordered a colour chart, then filler and paint that seemed a close match. The product is expensive but goes a long way and most importantly does the job. Our bricks are a buff colour, the Stonelux product was a close match, but stood out a bit as looked new and clean, I found that rubbing some builders sand, when the paint/filler was still wet, gave an even better match. Looks great and I would fully recommend.

Absolutely fantastic.

Totally transformed our fire surround. Followed the instructions carefully used primer and then three coats of the paint. I can't believe how amazing the finish is. It's saved us the expense of having to replace the whole surround and it looks fabulous. Very impressed and very happy. Used primer and undercoat in Portland and Simply Stone fireplace paint.

Excellent

We had damaged brickwork renovated on the house over 12 years ago the render material used to obtain the finish was Lithomex. Over the last couple of years several cosmetic cracks had appeared on the stone facings above the front door and on the stone window mullions surrounds all of which required repair. We tried a couple of test pots from Stonelux and found an almost exact match and a finish that we were happy with. After cutting out the damaged areas, filling them with an appropriate external stone filler in and priming the areas we used Stonelux paint. The finish is incredible and genuinely back to the original rendered finish that mirrors the Lithomex finish. Delighted with the product and highly recommended.

Fantastic products…

I purchased the Blackpearl smooth stone paint, grey primer, two natural brushes and the roller kit to refurbish the natural coloured marble on the back and hearth of my fireplace. I read lots of the reviews and went with two coats of primer and three coats of Blackpearl rollering the last coat. The results are amazing, the fireplace looks so much better, love it!

Title: Fantastic product!

I purchased the Portland primer, limestone smooth stone fireplace paint and also a couple of stonelux brushes.
We have a faux stone fireplace that is 20 years old and feel it has ‘yellowed’ over time (the fireplace is in a south facing room so likely natural sunlight causing this). I love the fireplace still but it certainly didn’t go well with my newly painted sage walls.
I saw this product and was hopeful it could give the fireplace a new lease of life and it certainly didn’t disappoint!
Prepped with 2 coats of Portland primer and overall 5 coats of fireplace paint, although 4 would have been sufficient. I used brushes to apply the paint apart from coat 4 when I used a foam roller. I’m not sure what happened but I ended up with patches of more intense stone, I then used a brush again to apply coat 5 and this immediately evened it out again ( I ensured I thoroughly stirred the paint each time before applying a coat). My advice would be to use a paintbrush on all coats as it gave a lovely even finish with very minimal brush lines.
I cannot recommend this product enough! Thank you stonelux.

The company did not honour the price listed on the website. When queried, company stated it was an IT Google mistake and not their own error. Even though I am a returning customer, they a) did not offer a discount and b) didn't even acknowledge the fact that my alerting them to this would help them adjust the error. Most disappointing customer service.

This is an amazing product.

This is an amazing product.

Bit expensive? Yes, but it is exactly what I was looking for my fireplace which was a total disgrace. I have years and years of experience painting and all the comments about peeling it’s just someone who probably did not do it right. It feels exactly like what I wanted.

A top tip….

A top tip when dealing with Stonelux if you can spare the time is to put the product in your basket then leave it and wait. After a few days they’ll offer you 10% discount if you put the purchase through within 48hrs. If you buy without doing this they defo won’t give you the 10%.

Don't waste your time and money

Keyed down a composite fireplace ready for painting, applied 3 coats of Stonelux Primer (1 day to dry between each) with Stonelux natural bristled brush, 4 coats of Stonelux Fireplace paint (1 day to dry between each) with Stonelux natural bristled brush.
It simply peels off in sheets, with no adhesion at all. There is no one at Stonelux office 2pm Friday to show any interest in the total failure of the product. Don't waste your time and money, in my case a week & £50.
Additionally, the 2 HETAS installers I've spoken to won't install a stove anywhere near this product.

Reply from Stonelux

e’re sorry to hear you’ve experienced an issue with adhesion. This is not typical of our Fireplace Paint and is usually caused by poor surface preparation, residual contaminants preventing proper bonding, or an unsuitable surface (such as one containing plastics).

For future reference, there is no need to leave a full day between coats—our Fireplace Paint is designed so that additional coats can typically be applied after 2 to 3 hours, allowing for a much quicker application process.

Our offices close at 3pm on Fridays, but we’re always available during office hours. If you contact us outside of these times, you can leave a voicemail, and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible. You can also email us at info@stonelux.co.uk.

Regarding HETAS installers, some may have personal preferences, but there are no regulations prohibiting the use of heat-resistant paint on non-combustible surfaces inside an inglenook. Our Fireplace Paint is heat-resistant up to 400°C and is suitable for fireplace surrounds and inglenook chambers, provided it is not applied within 10cm of the stove or flue.

Fabulous company

Fabulous company. I used the fireplace paint to update a 1970s Yorkshire stone fireplace. The coverage was great with a fantastic outcome. We took the advice of the information page and used the primer, after 2 coats we used the Limestone. The colour chart was very helpful as was as the sample pot. the postage was quick and efficient. I would highly recommend this company and if you follow the advice given i.e. use primer, wait for the recommended drying times before adding another coat and use sample pots before buying, you cant go wrong. I am delighted with the end result

The Brick filler is an excellent product.

I've bought three tubs of the brick filler (of various colours) to repair holes in the brickwork of the house I recently bought. The filler sets very hard, and closely matches the colour and texture of the brick - from a distance, the repairs are invisible. I'd say that it is perhaps a little too sandy, though - it makes it a little "crumbly" during application.

I'd also like to suggest that Stonelux makes a filler for mortar, and matches it to common mortar colours!
