Authentic reviews for Lakeland masonry paint

Currently renovating a 17th century cottage. This is by far the best paint I’ve used, the finish and colour is fantastic.

Perfect quality, covers completely with 2 coats, easy to work it. Best masonry paint I’ve used.

Excellent paint. Goes on easily, colour depth is great with second coat. Very nice to use. I mainly use a small roller on my fairly large wall, with a small brush to fill in edges. Rhinostone colour looks really lovely.

If you have leftover toxic paints you no longer want to use, don’t pour them down drains. You can take them to the local tip for recycling.

Alternatively, donate to Community Repaint. Where volunteers use them to up to do up local eyesores etc. The best way really to ‘get rid’ of unwanted paint, is to use it up!
