Thanks for taking the time to leave such a great review. It's fantastic to hear both the service and the paint lived up to expectations. Seeing your composite door and frame looking like new again after years of sun fading is exactly the kind of result we love to hear about. We really appreciate you sharing your experience.

Satisfied

The product is good, necessarily time consuming to apply, but satisfied my fire risk assessor, so that was all good.
However they supplied two tins of basecoat, and despite applying the four recommended coats, in generous quantities, I only used one.
I explored this with them and realised it was because my old cottage doors (and one was only a cupboard) are so much smaller than modern doors.
After we’d cleared all this up, they very kindly agreed that I could return the unused tin for refund, an outcome I am very satisfied with.

Thanks for sharing your experience, Paul. We’re glad the finished system satisfied your fire risk assessor and that the team could resolve the surplus basecoat once the smaller size of the cottage doors was established. It’s great to hear you were satisfied with the outcome.

The staff are very helpful

The staff are very helpful. We were told that our order would take 2-3 days, and yet received it the following day. We don’t use them on a regular basis as it’s only for certain item, but they talk to us as if we were regular customers.

Incredible service

Incredible service. I sent a paint colour sample on Monday and got a code back Tuesday evening. I ordered the paint, which arrived on Wednesday. Not only that, the Teamac gloss was a joy to use and it has stood up well to the inevitable knocks you tend to get in a dinghy.
