Home and Garden Paints

Damp, mould, and condensation can be a nightmare for landlords and their tenants. Often, older houses, especially those split into flats and apartments, have poor ventilation which can lead to dangerous growths on walls behind furniture and fittings, or on ceilings where vapour and steam cannot escape.

Rawlins Paints make dealing with mould, damp, and condensation easy with our extensive range of hygienic paints and coatings. Once the issue of damp and condensation has been corrected, the surface can be painted with our damp-proof paints, which have a biocide in the film that resists growths of mould and mildew. These protective paints don't have to be boring either, with 4,400+ decorative colours available in different finishes so you can match existing decor, or choose your favourite shade for full redecoration!

They are ideal for use in bathrooms and kitchens, en-suites and shower-rooms, helping to improve the quality of life for tenants, and reducing complaints and expensive maintenance for landlords, letting agents, and housing associations. Hygienic paints are also used in the care sector such as care homes, hospitals, shaltered accomodation etc, where residents and patients may suffer from respiratory issues made worse by the presence of mould and mildew.

Stuck with troublesome surfaces such as chalking, alligatoring, cracking, flaking, and peeling walls and ceilings? Your home is your castle, but thankfully in this day and age our homes don't need as much upkeep and maintenance! Our specialist wall primers and undercoats are easy to apply to walls and ceilings, sealing and stabilising tricky or porous surfaces. Once the substrate is suitably prepared, walls and ceilings can be decorated with one of our quality finishes in 4,400+ colours and shades, finishes and emulsions.

One of the most frequent queries from customers is for painting over wallpaper, particularly landlords that want to quickly freshen up a home for the rental market without the mess of stripping walls. Zinsser Wallpaper Cover-Up is an all-in-one primer, sealer & stain block with high hiding power that obliterates wallpaper print with a smooth matt, off-white finish.

Specialist wall primers and undercoats at Rawlins Paints can be used throughout the home - bedrooms, bathrooms, living rooms, hallways and landings, kitchens and utility rooms, dining halls and common rooms - ensuring that every surface can be painted to your requirements, in colours and finishes that suit.

Speaking of tricky surfaces! You don't have to remove tiles from kitchen and bathroom walls when you can simply paint over them. Our tile paints block patterns and "interesting" colour schemes from former occupants, allowing new colours, shades and schemes to adorn walls in your kitchen - such as splash backs behind ovens and stoves, and around sinks - and bathroom, shower room, en-suite and more. The speed at which you can turn around tiled surfaces from dated designs to fresh finishes means kitchens and bathroom don't have to be out of action for long, often completely rejuvenated over a single weekend.

Building exteriors are the first impression visitors have of your home or business, so make sure it's a good one! As much as a home is an Englishman's castle, ensure it doesn't repel visitors or tenants. At Rawlins Paints we have a vast range of waterproofing masonry coatings for painting over cracks on walls, bricks, concrete, stone, pebbledash and more for a beautifully consistent finish. Yes, even in Anthracite Grey! These easy-to-use products ensure a quick turnaround for homeowners, businesses, rental properties, public services and more, with minimal disruption. Choose from heavily or lightly-textured masonry coatings, in solvent-based (ideal for colder weather applications) and water-based finishes.

Worn, tired, and weathered uPVC can also be painted, don't you know! Yes, you don't need to spend thousands on new uPVC windows and doors. As long as the surface is sound, it can be painted in over 4,000+ colours - including favourites like Chartwell Green and Anthracite Grey - with the same tin also useful for composite doors, plastic guttering and downpipes, gas and electric boxes, and more. Rawlins Paints has taken the legwork out of choosing uPVC paints with our handy uPVC painting kits, with enough materials for painting the uPVC windows and doors of a terraced, semi-detached, and detaching house.

Look up! If you can see the sky from inside your home then you may have a hole in your roof! Rawlins don't do full-scale roof repairs, but for smaller cracks, leaks, and areas letting in water, we have specialist repair products for consumers to use on flat and pitched roofs. You won't have to wait for the weather to improve, either, with immediate waterproofing in bad weather and freezing temperatures possible with our extensive range of emergency roof repairs.

Stop rainwater from coming into your home or business, whether felt, slate, asphalt, hard PVC, glass, tiles and aluminium, among other surfaces, with Rawlins Paints.

You can also decorate your roof; our roof paints are suitable for almost any roofing substrate, including tiles, and are super durable to weathering and UV degradation. Are your upstairs rooms too hot during summer? Try a solar-reflective coating to reduce the transfer of heat through your roof, cooling areas in the home, office, business, and service. Our solar reflective roof paints also decrease the thermal expansion of roof membranes, helping guard against future cracks, tears, and leaks.
