Valspar Paint Reviews 3,049

Terrible paint and I mean TERRIBLE. Not particularly cheap but just awful, hardly goes on with a brush and patchy with a roller. AVOID. It would have been a 1 star but Perth B&Q staff were excellen... See more

We got the valspar paint colour mixed at B&Q. It's not the cheapest of paint and the quality has been terrible. We have used it throughout our home over the past 6 months and we've already had to repa... See more

Gutted that I didn't read these reviews before wasting my time and money with valspar paints. I'd heard good things about them so I chose the valspar premium to paint my bedroom with and I wish I ha... See more

Having used Valspar for years I went to B&Q to have my choice of paints mixed. After telling the assistant where it was to go she advised the following Classic Wood and Metal and Classic Wall & Ceil... See more

Edited to add: No customer service has been in touch - they can't anyway because they haven't any contact details and nor have they asked for them or given me any way to contact them. So that tells... See more

I decided to freshen up the paint in downstairs loo and Valspar looked to have the exact colour I was looking for so I had some mixed. I have spent two days in the smallest room in the house strug... See more

Worst experience ever !, anyone who even considering to use their paints please re think and save yourselves a headache and whole load of stress and money , spent over £100 on paint had it mixed at b... See more

Used Valspar premium colour mix emulsion to paint my daughters room, 3/4 the room was painted in Dulux off white with the feature wall in Valspar colour mix. The Dulux dried perfectly to a great finis... See more

We spent £500 on emulsion and gloss. Beautiful colour matching. However, the worst paint we have ever used. It created a lot of work. The gloss was matt and this had to be sanded down and dulux appl... See more

Just had this mixed up from B&Q I’ve got to say it’s one of the worst paint I’ve ever used in my life and what a waste of £42 had a 2 1/2 L of grey paint mixed for my interior doors after one coat was... See more

We have used Valspar paint, mixed to our desired colour, on the walls for years with decent success. We have just completed our staircase and decided to paint the bannister in exactly the same colour... See more

Absolutely poor quality of paint. Far too watery and not very good covering over marks and existing white paint. This has been an ongoing problem with valspar from day one. If B&Q hadn’t demanded... See more

Bought Valspar white gloss paint from B&Q Nelson. It really is rubbish! Like painting with yoghurt and the finish after 2 coats on already white skirting boards (properly prepared) had virtually no im... See more

Bought this from B&Q Wednesday and I must say it's the worst paint ever and it's not cheap paint either so 4 coats later and it's still patchy with loads of white coming through put it on with a p... See more

Purchased 10 litres in 3 different colours from B&Q, none of the colours look anything like what they're supposed to be. Wouldn't use Valspar again, shame you can't leave a zero star rating

I don't even want to give one star! I wish I had read reviews beforehand. The coverage is SHOCKING. I only did one layer then went straight to reviews before going any further. I'm hoping the act... See more

It’s the worse emulsion I’ve ever used & only ended up with this as a B&Q recommendation. It’s not cheap either but you would think it’s a cheap paint once you apply it. 3 coats later I’ve given up... See more

Like many others, I didn’t read reviews until I applied it and I am loathed to give this s*** any stars. I cannot believe that B&Q actually class this as a ‘premium’ paint. If this is premium I sho... See more

For a ‘premium’ paint the quality seemed nice when we put it in our bathroom. Bear in mind this room gets the sunlight through a Velux window for 3 hrs a day maximum in the summer. We painted the r... See more

Dreadful paint. Avoid at all costs. Bought gloss for wood and metal. Knew as I opened the tin it was rubbish. So runny it spilt everywhere. Painting with it was like painting with milk. Afte... See more

Bought exterior paint as thought it would be good.First thing I noticed was that it seemed really watery. Started painting and coverage was dreadful. Four coats later and it still looked blotchy. Been... See more

We have just had the all the woodwork in our home painted with Silk Grey Valspar. Recommend by an influencer. We thought the decorator hadn’t prepped the woodwork as it just peels off. One tiny knock... See more

Colour drenching my living room. The wood and metal paint matches the colour card and Matt sample we got. But the pots of Matt paint are crazy inconsistent and don’t match the colour we bought (ar... See more

Omgoodness I'm so sad I wish I'd seen these reviews before :( Saved up specially to buy a fun colour for a change, something I can't normally afford to do. Prepped, sanded and primed, did two coats... See more

We had changed some cupboards to B&Q Ashmead Midnight blue range. I wanted to paint the remaining cupboards to match and thought Valspar colour matching service would be a good solution so took a sam... See more

As a professional decorator with more than 20 years experience I thought that Farrow & Ball was going to be the worst quality paint that I ever had to use. And then there was Valspar. Poor opaci... See more

I bought Valspar paint as it seemed to be a popular choice and recommended by an influencer. Big mistake it is classed as premium quality and with easy coverage, yet I have had to go over white walls... See more

Bought Valspar Paint from B&Q about 1.5 years ago! We were convinced by one of the shop assistants that Valspar is the best paint ever!!! We stupidly decided to go for this paint instead of one of the... See more

Follow up to my last review re brown to green emulsion in my hallway ! Valspar came up with some of the most ridiculous reasons , in my humble opinion ,as to why paint had changed col... See more

Just consistently poor. When B&Q switched from Dulux to Valspar we tried it out at their recommendation and found the quality very poor- coverage way below what you would expect from a premium pain... See more

This paint is like a silk vinyl or acrylic paint. It's very watery with poor coverage and smells unlike any satin wood I have ever used. To be honest I have used better silk and acrylic paints so tha... See more

2nd Time using Valspar I said to the wife in the shop please dont buy it its a terrible paint as i have used it before but no , she went ahead so i said to her you paint the wall let me know what you... See more

Trade Gloss, watery, poor coverage, needing multiple coats. Its a pity as their undercoat/primer is actually VERY good. BTW the Gloss is definitely NOT GLOSS, its a grotty mat type finish. So Val... See more

Who wishes they had read the reviews before blindly buying this awful paint in B&Q. I went in to get a specific colour in wood gloss mixed up and noticed they had changed to Valspar. Stupidly trusting... See more

Absolute rubbish. 3 coats so far and still patchy. Other walls with traditional paint took 2 coats.

If only we had checked reviews before buying, we’d have realised that this product line exists only to scam people. Clearly the company have very short term goals before selling up. With what should h... See more

Ongoing saga with Valspar continues. I have now been passed onto Kelly, who is apparently the Consumer Operations Manager. Kelly is adamant, every single email, that my questions have been responded... See more

Complained about the coverage of their premium matt emulsion having left a sheen and after several emails requesting more information recieved a very patronising conclusion that i was to blame!... See more

If I could give no stars I would I bought valspar paint which ruined my wall I had to send numerous pictures , then they took fault and offered a refund after 9 days it’s now been over a week and stil... See more

DO NOT BUY THIS INFERIOR, SUBSTANDARD, FAULTY PRODUCT!!!! if like me you are now reading poor reviews due to a bad experience with this product and even worse experience with t... See more

I'm baffled by the negative reviews!? I've used the mixed coloured emulsion several times and it's been fine,covers well with two coats,it is thin but if you know how to load a roller and apply correc... See more

Firstly I have rated this one star only because you can't rate it no stars, what more can I say about valspar and their paint that hasn't already been said by others! Ive been left with a cat wee/gas... See more

IT STINKS!!! We have spent the past 8 months, since painting 2 rooms in our house, sniffing the carpet, paying lots of money for professional carpet cleaning, trying to work out where our cat was sec... See more

Terrible paint, we used 50 litres in a large interior area, "white trade contract matt" some was well dried new plaster, some previously emulsion coated. Whatever the surface, this Valspar rubbish... See more

I echo Daniel's comments. Bought Valspar 'premium' scrubbable soft sheen for a bedroom feature wall. Applied over a matt mid grey emulsion approx 4 years old. After two coats I became concerned that... See more
