Ronseal Reviews 

If I could give it no stars I would. I'm talking about Ronseal ultra tough gloss paint that stays white allegedly .
This product is absolutely dreadful ! it's more like PVA inconsistency despite manic stirring!

It's thin with the consistency of an opaque varnish. THIS IS NOT GLOSS paint. It drips and spills everywhere, and destroyed my kitchen, floors and skirting boards.
Don't take my word for it, waste your money like I did, YOU WILL REGRET IT
!!!
I would never buy it again.
It is disgusting that this company calls it a paint. I HAVE SEEN THICKER PORRIDGE !!!

I bought a 10 year Ronseal dark oak for an exterior gate.
After 3 coats it was nowhere near the dark colour it shows on the tin
Absolute sh___.
Complete waste of my time.
Wish i'd of got some Sadolin instead.

Regarding Ronseal one coat. How there One Coat paint passed quality control i don't know, you only have to touch it or scratch it and it comes off. I applied two coats and still not satisfied and how there able to justify the price i don't know. I was let down but never again. It doesn't do what it says on the tin.

So its the end of the day, Tuesday and the (un) helpful customer service team have not "reached" out to me to solve the issue of my missing refund.

Its all emlty words and platitudes, NO ACTION

They really need a kick up tbe preverbial and some training wouldn't go amiss either.

Where is my refund??

If I could rate this company with -5 stars I would. I bought a tin of wood dye from this company and it clearly displayed with a photograph on the tin the result of using the product on softwood. I prepared the wood as instructed on the tin but the result did not match at all what was promised on the tin with regard to colour. The tin has “Does exactly what it says on the tin” written on the tin four times but clearly this did not happen on this occasion. After many email exchanges I finally was offered £30 to cover the cost of the wood dye and softwood which is now ruined.

If I had the time and energy I would take them to court for selling a product with false claims of the promised result using the result.

Deeply Disappointed – Poor Coverage Despite Multiple Tins
After using almost 10 tins of paint (including 3 x 9L and 4 x 5L of "Slate"), I’m extremely disappointed. No matter how many coats I applied, the coverage remained patchy and inadequate. I've followed all instructions, mixed the paint and used more paint than should be necessary, but the results are still not good. PLEASE DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY

Tell people if they ever want to change the colour and if it's from a dark to a lighter colour you will need so many coats! I'm on 5 now and it still needs more! I say don't use the product.

I have used Ronseal products for more years than I care to remember but my present project has been harder work than normal. On this project I have bought numerous 750ml tins of water based varnish which all had traces of rust when opened. If the can isn't used completely on opening any future use of the varnish is plagued with rust flakes.
I have saved some of my outlay by simply using jars with plastic screw lids. This isn't exactly environmentally friendly.
I will now be searching for a new supplier who live up to their claims.

Yet another bad review for a Ronseal product! Don't they ever take any notice of the reviews? Just the same old anodyne response every time. I bought a tin of Direct to Metal paint (offering 15 year protection!!!!) with which to paint my garage door. The door was prepared according to the instructions on the tin and applied in September last year. Despite the 15 year protection guarantee, the paint peeled off in several places over winter. When I contacted customer services, I was initially told that this had happened because the paint had been subjected to temperature and moisture variations. This is an EXTERIOR paint. We generally call these variations 'Weather' ! Several emails later when they told me at various times that I should have applied 2 coats of undercoat ( the paint claims NOT to need an undercoat), that I had not prepared the surface properly (I have been painting for over 59 years , so DO know what I am doing), that the WALL should have been prepared better and again that temperature and moisture were the cause, I threw in the towel and gave up. They very generously offered me a free tin of paint but then sent a voucher for a different one! They also expect me to travel over 10 miles each way to my nearest B&Q store in order to cash it. It certainly DOES NOT do exactly what it says on the tin. I will NEVER buy a Ronseal or Valspar product again.

Truly dreadful product. The worst paint i have ever used. Sadly, yet another grossly unhappy customer whom will never consider Ronseal again. Terrible opacity, brown turned out burgundy, blotchy, and will need 4-5 coats making it even more expansive than it is. Only given it a 1 because i cant give zero. Reached out to Ronseal with the issues, having wasted time sending much information, only for them to wash their hands of it.

Always used ronseal products very good with no problems. However after buying 10 litres of wood stain for my sheds it is bloody c..p.This follows a tin of varnish I purchased which was absolute c..p as well
Come on Ronseal what the hell has changed your end????
Yours totally p....d off AKA Eric Avery

I used Ronseal Fence Life Plus on both new and old fence panels. My first challenge was opening the tub! While I admit my hands aren't great, but it was terribly difficult to get the lid off.
I found the paint to be very thin and it dripped everywhere, even though I was careful to tap the brush before using it. The older fence really absorbed the paint, so it will need several layers.
As others have mentioned, the sage green is very blue shade, but you don't know that until it dries.
Someone mentioned it is easy to remove from clothing, but that hasn't been my experience.
Unfortunately, I bought two tubs of this paint, but I wish I hadn't. After this, I shall return to my old favourite - Cuprinol Ducksvack.

I have bought 6 Ronseal plus fence paint (all in slate colour), we paint the fence on the same day, all panels are in two coats, however the colour are totally different in different panel. We need to paint again😡. And we are not sure which one should be the “real” slate colour.

Bought this with One Coat - useless!
Even thinning 8% could not produce a spray.
Binned!
I wouldn't even give it to anyone free.....

Dreadful product! Who reads reviews before buying a tin of well known paint? The only thing I can say is that I wish I had! I want to add my dissapointment and dissatisfaction with both the quality of the paint and the attitude of the company. All I can do is pass on my experience to others and advise to keep at them until you get a refund. It took me three months and many many emails to get mine. The company will do everything in their power to put you off, don't let them. I reiterate EVERYTHING that all the previous reviews have said so instead of repeating it I will give you a sample of the company's reply to me when I contacted them directly. Save your sanity and do not buy Ronseal paint. I have had to paint my shed again with real paint, 4 months after using Ronseal. Below is the reply I received initially.

For the record, they were not happy to help! Steer clear......

Just applied Ronseal damp proof paint and one part of the coverage a large paint blister has formed, answers please as to why that has occurred.

Reply from Ronseal is simply a standard reply it's simply not good enough to get a "reply" rather than an answer to the problem

I bought a Ronseal sprayer and Ronseal fence paint. When I came to spray my fence, all the sprayer did was get clogged up, so I ditched the sprayer and used a brush instead. I found this counter productive as I expected the sprayer to cope with all types of Ronseal products; thick or thin!
I would not recommend any Ronseal products based on my experience. I will buy cheap paint and brushes next time, it will save me time and money.

Bought Ronseal Damp Seal. The tin states "after 4 hours it will be ready to paint or paper" No where does it say you can only use solvent paint. We applied the damp seal allowed it to dry and emulsion wouldn't stick to the wall. Telephoned your helpline to be told you have to use gloss paint! How can you gloss plaster? Why doesn't the tin state that the product is not suitable for waterbased emulsion only oil based paint. Very misleading

I purchased 10 litres of Ronseal 'Diamond Hard Garage Floor Paint' and 'diamond hard' is not what I've got! It wears off very easily and when I tried to sort out the problems with their customer service in Sheffield, they fobbed me off by saying that I had used too much paint on my garage floor! A poor product backed up by even poorer customer service. Avoid all all costs!

I posted on here a while ago about my experience using Ronseal Wet Rot Wood Hardener. After leaving an extremely negative review of the product (it caused £4000 worth of damage and had no warnings on the tin) Ronseal contacted me. The worse customer care ever! After refusing to replace the damaged door and window, they eventually offered me £50, what an insult that was after back and forth emails. I decided to go to the ombudsman, but guess what?!? Ronseal are not registered with the ombudsman so the only way you can try to get anything out of this company is a private civil suit, which costs a lot of money! This company does not care about its customers, the quality of its product or any damage it can cause! I took the £50 because i need it after having to pay out £4000 to rectify the damage done by this product from this disgusting money grabbing company.
