Paint Orders
Free delivery: Enjoy free standard delivery to mainland UK on sample pots, colour cards or when you spend over £100.
Standard delivery: We deliver online orders in 2-3 working days*. For example, orders placed on a Monday will arrive on or before Thursday. Delivery times may vary based on your location ¬– do check our ‘Remote Areas’ section below for more details – and don’t include weekends or bank holidays.
For large orders that require a pallet, please allow up to 4 working days for despatch.
Express delivery: If you’re in a hurry, we also offer a next day delivery service to mainland UK. Order before 4pm and we’ll pack your product today so it’s with you the next working day.* Express orders will only be delivered Monday to Friday, excluding UK bank holidays. So, orders placed on Friday before 4pm will arrive on Monday and orders placed on a weekend or bank holiday will be packed the next working day and arrive the day after.
*We do our absolute best to stick to these timelines but they aren’t guaranteed as occasionally circumstances beyond our control can cause delays. Please bear this in mind when arranging appointments for decorators.
If your order hasn’t arrived when you expected it to and the courier hasn’t given you an update, do get in touch.
Colour cards and paint swatches: We send these separately by Whistl, so they’ll arrive independently to the rest of your order. You can expect to receive them within 5-6 working days.
Please note that we can’t deliver to P.O. Boxes.

Returns
Bought more than you need? Don’t worry, whether you ordered online or in a showroom, you can return unopened paint or wallpaper for a refund (apart from bespoke or archived products, which we make to order so are non-returnable).
Simply send it back to us or drop into a showroom with proof of purchase within 28 days and we’ll give you a full refund (excluding delivery fees for online orders).
Something not quite right? Our paint and wallpaper are crafted, packed and delivered by people, so although we take great care, sometimes the odd mistake happens. If something’s not as it should be, please get in touch with our customer services team or the showroom you purchased from within 24 hours, and they’ll let you know the next steps.
