Zinsser UKReviews of zinsseruk.com

Oh, never thought to read the reviews on this. We know all Zinsser products are a nightmare to use but generally do what they state. I have just used allcoat on a new front door, covers well but if your expecting a perfect finish you won't get it. As with other Zinsser products it skins of far too quickly so as you are working down the door you can't keep a wet edge and it just drags if you try to go back through with a loaded brush. Time will tell but I am concerned as the front of my place is south facing so it's going to put this to the test. Moving in a year so hopefully.....

Great customer service. I had a query regarding Zinsser Gardz and whether you can use it on top of previously painted surfaces, as it states on their website that it’s not suitable. I contacted customer service on Sunday, then early Monday morning I received a phone call from a very helpful lady who explained that I can use it on top of contract Matt emulsion after all, prior to painting a final top coat, she said they would be amending their on-line advice regarding previously painted surfaces, she was very helpful and reassuring.

Average paint at best, used allcoat and primer on a composite door, four coats of allcoat and the primer still shows through. Will not purchase again or recommend.

Awful on exterior wood flakes and cracks within weeks. Only good on plastic but turning my back on the full zinnser range nothing but costly trouble

This Zinsser Allcoat Paint is hands down the worst paint I have ever used! I have previously used Bedec Exterior paint for all my sash windows and wood front door and have been extremely happy with this. However over on The Paint Shed I saw the Zinsser Allcoat Exterior Satin and always thought Zinsser was a professional make. Many of the reviews I read before buying from the website were glowing, 'goes on like a dream', 'I never use anything else', 'best paint ever'. Well my first and only experience is absolutely terrible, the finish was horrible, it dried like a skin of plastic, nothing like the quality I had been led to believe. It bubbled and even though I waited over a week to ten days to cure, it started to curl out away from the window in a few days because it was just like plastic. I was bitterly disappointed having dropped my usual Bedec for something that when on looked frankly embarrassing. I WILL NEVER EVER BUY ZINSSER PRODUCTS AGAIN.

Product (watertite) is useless. Painted my cellar and within a week it was cracking and flaking off. Contacted them and they were really good about it (why it's a 2 not 1 star), sent me a replacement tin but unfortunately same problem. Such a waste of money.

Absolute garbage. Used zinsser all coat exterior gloss..According to the tin it has a 15 year guarantee 😂. It hasn't even been out 15 years so not sure how they figured that out. Anyway I used it on 2 large exteriors for the same customer In the middle of summer. 1 year later it had all cracked and peeled off. Sent off samples and they came back and said moisture had caused the issue and it wasnt their fault! I spoke to a zinsser rep who said off the record that they really shouldn't be selling this product but thats obviously not the official line is it. Cost me £3000 in new paint and labour to put the jobs right in some actual decent paint. Please learn from my costly mistake and do not use this joke of a product.

I purchased Zinsser Watertite paint for a concrete cellar floor. Applied two coatings on the cellar florr. 5 months later and after two minor floods the floor paint started to come up in feathery tufts. Zinsser customer service said the paint is not meant for footfall. First of all the cellar has minimal footfall and secondly it is a paint for a floor! The label does not say do not use on floor. Customer service also said the tufts are due to salt in the flood water. So two reasons not to use Zinsser Watertite.
