My review is for the Sevenoaks branch, who in my opinion are rip off merchants, not paint merchants! My decorator assured me he could get the masonry paint for my bungalow cheaper. However, that proved not to be the case. He was charged £48.98 by PaintWell for a 5L tin of Sandtex Retail Microseal Fine Textured masonry paint in Plymouth Grey (product code on invoice AP37075F). He ran out towards the end so I googled to see where we could get it locally. It was available in Wickes for £28 (a special offer reduced from the RRP price of £35). When I spoke to PaintWell she told me the code was for a tin of trade paint, but it isn't trade paint (it doesn't mention "trade" anywhere on it) and it is exactly the same tin as the one bought in Wickes for just over £20 less. She insisted that companies can charge differently for the same product. Yes, maybe £5 a tin I would accept but not to the tune of £20 a tin. I cannot speak for other branches but I would avoid this one at all costs. I hope my decorator finds a different store for his future purchases.
