Developed for this surface

Plant pots have their own demands: a curved ceramic substrate and, outdoors, weather exposure. We select resin for this specific job rather than suggesting an ordinary wall paint for every object. Check substrate suitability and address cracks or existing damage before painting.

Better rolling. Easier working.

Smooth brush flow helps follow curves and rims; a small roller can be useful on suitable broad faces. Prepare and dry the surface carefully, then apply thin, even coats. Keep drainage clear and follow the guide before returning the pot to use.

Preparation

Check substrate suitability and address cracks or existing damage before painting. Prepare and dry the surface carefully, then apply thin, even coats.

Self-levelling, with a hand-painted character

Our paints are self-levelling: as they dry, they flow out into a smooth, even film, so roller texture settles rather than drying in. When applied with a brush, they are designed to leave a slight brush-mark texture, because a hand-painted appearance is often exactly what people want on cabinets, furniture and woodwork.

High opacity for big colour changes

High pigment loading gives our paints high opacity: colour builds quickly and evenly and hides what is underneath, which helps most on difficult surfaces and big colour changes. Two full coats usually give the true colour, but three coats may be necessary depending on the surface and how the paint is applied, for example a pale colour over a dark one, or a porous or patchy surface.

More coverage. Stronger colour.

Coverage is where cheaper paint quietly costs you. Our paints cover up to 14 m² per litre, against the roughly 10 m² per litre typical of cheaper decorative paints — so a tin goes noticeably further. Higher pigment loading also gives high opacity: the colour builds quickly and evenly, so less effort goes into reaching a solid, rich finish. Two full coats usually give the true colour; some surfaces, big colour changes and application methods need three.

Engineered from the raw materials up

Tinted to order in Nottinghamshire. Each formula starts with the raw materials rather than a price-cutting exercise. Each formulation is engineered for its intended surface, compared with market leaders and refined with durability, adhesion and application in mind. High-quality resins at high loadings build the tougher film and smoother feel; specialist formulations mean you are not asked to use one paint for every job.

Colour designed for your home

We chose pure, concentrated colourant beads and developed the paint and colourant to work in balance. Our colours are engineered for shifting UK light, with carefully considered undertones and relationships across the palette. You can carry a colour scheme from walls to furniture and exterior details while choosing the right formulation for each surface.

Ultra-low VOC — maximum 15 g/L

Our paints are Ultra-low VOC: they contain a maximum of 15 g/L of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), well below 30 g/L. This describes VOC content, not a guarantee of hazard-free use; ventilate during painting and follow the product guidance.
