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.

Stonelux brick repair filler is an excellent product, which is highly recommended. It is very easy to use, and the repairs are almost invisible. I purchased two colours, one for the bricks and one for... See more

Brick Paint

I bought a colour chart and chose the best match, but "Medium Red" was more pinkish than any red colour.
Then bought a "Dark Red" which turned out to be more orange.
I'd now recommend to remove the colour sample from the white background of the colour card, which confused the colour matching, but never the less both pots could never be secribed as red !
I ended up binning both pots and bought a £3 pot of non-textured paint from Wickes, alot cheaper and better.

Thank you for your feedback.

Our Medium Red has a pinkish undertone, while Dark Red has warm, orange-red tones that are darker than Medium Red. These shades are designed to replicate the natural variations found in British red bricks, which can range from pinkish-reds and orange-reds to deeper, earthy reds, plum tones, and brownish-red shades. Because of this variation, what one person considers "red" may look different to someone else.

We completely understand how important it is to get the right colour match, which is why we always recommend viewing a hand-painted colour chart and testing a sample before purchasing. Colours can look different depending on lighting, surroundings, and even perception, so testing beforehand is the best way to ensure you're happy with the final result.

We also appreciate your feedback on the colour chart background and will take this into consideration. If there’s anything else we can help with, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Ordered the fireplace paint and Primer

Ordered the fireplace paint and Primer, qualified for the free brush too, ordered went missing with the carrier, UPS, it was apparently delivered, despite me owning cctv and a ring doorbell and nothing was delivered to my address. contacted stonelux directly via their website contact form as it was the weekend, asked them to ring or email on the Monday to discuss my missing parcel, still waiting, put a claim in via UPS and the parcel finally appeared several days later.
Once I had remixed the paint with some paint dye to get it to the colour it should have been (colours on website differ to real life) I've applied it and it seems OK.
Certainly won't order directly from stonelux again.
Order placed 10/11/22, finally arrived 21/11/22

Dear Nick

I'm sorry your paint arrived outside our estimated delivery window by 2 working days.

Unfortunately, I am unable to trace any contact from you. Had we known your parcel had not arrived with you on time, we would have contacted UPS on your behalf, or arranged a replacement.

I am also sorry you found the colour to not be as expected. Due to the limited way in which screens display colour, and how this can vary from screen to screen, we do strongly recommend that all customer's view either a hand-painted colour chart or try a sample pot prior to purchase, so they are not disappointed with the colour when the paint arrives.

If you would like to discuss any of the above with us directly, please call us on 01405 720281.

Kind regards,

The Customer Services Team

Not so special offer

I supposedly qualified for a free paint brush offer, having spent over £50 and it didn't arrive with my order. It's only a small gripe as I did get the rest of my order on time at a reasonable delivery charge.
But an offer is an offer, so I called the firm and they were really unhelpful. I heard every excuse possible - the brush was out of stock, they're a small family run firm and have only been running the offer for three weeks, they don't have the tech for out of stock to pop up as a notification and they can't be expected to personally notify everyone if this is the case.
I was made to feel bad for expecting to get what they promised me - I hadn't begged for a free brush!
I told them it creates a bad impression to a first-time customer like me if they run an offer but can't honour it, but sadly I don't think they care. There's another small firm I use for paints, Shabby Nook, who manage to do customer service really well. They even send personalised emails and blogs - but unfortunately it was an exclusive Stonelux product I wanted this time and I couldn't get it anywhere else.
If you're reading this review Stonelux, take a look at Shabby Nook and see how these things should be done. It might just save your business - exclusive products aren't enough to survive if your service is rubbish.

Thank you for your feedback, and we’re sorry to hear you were disappointed with your experience.

Our free brush offer is subject to availability, and unfortunately, on this occasion, we had run out of stock. As a small, family-run business, we don’t have the same automated stock notification systems as larger retailers, and while we do our best to fulfil all offers, there are rare occasions where this isn’t possible.

We completely understand your frustration and take your comments on board. We always strive to improve our service and appreciate your feedback. If there’s anything we can do to assist you further, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

BEWARE when applying STONELUX FIRE…

BEWARE when applying STONELUX FIRE RESISTANT fireplace paints. Colour chart not true to life, even after applying recommended 3 coats!! Following delivery of more sample pots (+£’ssss) eventually decided upon a Buff but didn’t need 1L, advised by this so called family run business to buy the Garden Paint which comes in 500ml…. sadly colour still had no depth. Rang customer services again for further advice re colours and decided upon Ashridge, so ordered another 500ml pot and was then advised the Garden Paint was NOT fire resistant…. OMG I was told the Garden Paint was fire resistant but they (Stonelux) Insist I was not, calling me a liar !! I then asked whether telephone calls were recorded….obviously not… Am now faced with safety issues that need to be addressed… STAY WELL CLEAR OF STONELUX MOST UNHELPFUL !!!!

We’re sorry to hear that you’re unhappy with your experience. However, we would like to clarify a few key points.

Our Fireplace Paint and Garden Paint are separate products with different formulations and purposes. Only our Fireplace Paint is heat-resistant, and we do not advise using Garden Paint in high-heat areas. We would never recommend a non-heat-resistant product for a fireplace application.

Regarding colour accuracy, online colour charts can only provide a guide, as screen displays vary. For the most accurate representation, we strongly recommend viewing a hand-painted colour chart or testing a sample before purchasing.

We always aim to provide clear and helpful advice, and we’re sorry if there was any miscommunication. If you’d like to discuss your concerns further, please get in touch—we’d be happy to assist.

Extremely unhelpful “Customer services”

Extremely unhelpful.
Bricks are largely uniform in style and colour.
Requested advice from Customer services and they were unhelpful, arrogant and rude.

Customers pay your wages, be helpful and you will get more customers.

It isn’t hard to answer customer questions, had you been more helpful I would have placed an order.

Had I placed an order the company would have prospered.

I went else where.

You have a good product, you need to train your employees to be more helpful, in turn you will get more orders.

My advise is not to bother with this company

You only have to look at the reviews posted for this company and they can’t achieve anything more than 2 stars.

Appalling, you must be proud!

I can not believe it took you 3 years to reply to this review.

As I say your customer service is terrible.

3 years to be bothered to reply.

CBA!

Avoid damaged goods, not as described

They send us damaged goods which were not as described, we returned the same back to them and they refused to refund claiming we had damaged. Paypal chargeback. Avoid. Avoid.

We’re sorry to hear you were unhappy with your experience.

The item was not sent out damaged, and we were not contacted about any damage upon receipt. When the item was returned unfortunately it was outside of our returns policy, as it had been opened and the seal broken.

As a customer, you would not expect to receive an item with a shortened shelf life because it had been opened and returned by someone else. For this reason, once a product has been opened and the seal broken, it can no longer be resold, which is why we’re unable to accept returns of opened items.

We did offer to return the filler to you free of charge, however, you chose to contact PayPal.
