Efficient. However the delivery costs are very expensive.

I did send an email (using the contact form on Promain's website), but no response. This message was to detail both the poor delivery service Promain employed - no effort made to alert us to the delivery - I'd left a clear note on the door to say "Delivery for Simon Moffitt please ring Flat 3 bell and we'll come down immediately" and the bell wasn't rung, the paint was just left on the doorstep. This was over £300 of paint just left on the doorstep of a busy thoroughfare! Luckily my work colleague went out later in the day to fetch some coffee, and came across it. Not only that, but one of the tins was so badly dented, I was surprised the tin held and the paint didn't leak out. All of my other experiences with Promain have been positive ones, especially their technical help people, who go out of their way to offer sound advice. So, this came as a surprise, particularly the lack of response to my original email, detailing the issues.

Dear Simon, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and please accept our sincere apologies for the experience you’ve described. We’re very sorry to hear about the issues with your recent delivery and the damage to one of the tins of paint. While we do rely on third-party couriers to deliver orders, we fully understand how frustrating it is when they do not follow delivery instructions properly. Although this aspect is unfortunately beyond our direct control, we will be following up with the courier service to ensure your comments are taken seriously. As a gesture of goodwill, we’ll arrange a refund of your delivery charge. If you would like us to replace the dented tin of paint, please contact our team on 01462 421 333 or email info@promain.co.uk, and we’ll be happy to organise that for you promptly. We’re also very sorry that your original message didn’t receive a response - that’s not the level of service we aim to provide. We value your loyalty and the kind words about our technical team, and we appreciate your understanding as we put this right. Kind regards, Customer Service - Promain

Order was lost because Promain input the wrong address which I had to personally recover. Lee was very helpful and apologetic but there’s no excuse really. Based on this experience I honestly couldn’t recommend them.

Hi Victoria, thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry to hear your order was lost due to an address issue, and that you had to recover it yourself. While we’re glad Lee was able to help, this does not meet our standard of service, and we apologise for any inconvenience caused. We’ve reviewed this and will take steps to prevent a recurrence, including double-checking address details before despatch. We have refunded your delivery charge in full, and if you would like us to look into this further or discuss any outstanding issues, please get in touch and we’ll be happy to help. Kind regards, Promain

Classidur golden classic mat paint is incredible. The coverage is fantastic and it does what it said in the tin. Best paint I’ve ever come across, and worth every penny. Highly recommend

The spray paint is a good colour and makes a perfect 50mm width line when put in the walker.

Site works, delivery works, pure linseed oil paint (although even more heinously expensive than it was 5 years ago) works as well as it ever did. 👍

Prompt delivery and excellent communication. Well packaged and, more importantly, the materials we ordered did precisely what we'd hoped, making the stripping, cleaning, and revarnishing of all our items really straightforward. The results were fantastic, and I've already ordered more supplies to do more work in the future.
