Zinsser UKReviews of zinsseruk.com

Bought zinniser paint for my garage doors expecting it to be good paint, after reading about it. Painted the doors following the instructions, at first it was brilliant,loved the colour. Second coat and I was very pleased. 3 days later the paint started to bubble and crack, there were clusters of small bubbles forming on the doors it looked awful. I sanded them down and repainted but it doesn’t seem to be working and it looks like I’ve painted it with a yard brush. I will never buy zinniser paint again after the problems I have had

Zinsser allclean white emulsion paint, spent well over £400 as we were doing the whole downstairs decorating. Initially the paint went on easy even though paint is watery. Needed at least 3 coats. Well after 4 weeks the drama began the freshly painted surfaces started to show signs of splitting and got worse over a few weeks. All the time,effort and cost was not worth the product. We got intouch with zinsser and explained the situation, got advise to how to rectify, this didn't resolve the problem. The whole downstairs in our house had to be stripped by hand with a heat gun to lift the paint off the walls and ceilings, tore off in sheets. The worse paint I have ever used and will not be using this again ever. Save your money and stick with what you know. The paint doesn't expand or contract with general house humidity, paint ends up like a plastic film. You will regret it, this is an honest and genuine review, Zinsser needs to explain that this paint is not suitable for walls, ceilings and can cause splitting on their paint tins. Save your money, waste of time. Zinsser UK wanted paint code from tins, sample of paint tore off ceiling and walls to investigate before accepting any liable that there paint is at fault. Got a possible explanation for the disaster from zinsser that it was my walls and ceilings at fault, what in every room. Paint is not fit for purpose.

Totally regrettable purchase of very expensive ZINSSER WHITE MATT SPRAY STAIN. It may be that the product is ok – not sure yet – but the delivery system has been designed by criminally insane, low IQ, baboons. It is literally impossible – this is not an exaggeration – to use the spray dispenser button without the evil smelling product getting onto finger, and dripping and splattering in an expensive waste onto everything beneath it. The dispenser button needs to be re designed by a sensible six year old child, please

I bought Zinsser Permawhite Exterior, just 3 years ago. I had no idea that they advise a shelf life of just 3 years! I have tins that are 10 years old and still good. That said, the paint itself is still perfect and I used it no problem. The issue I had was that the bottom of the tin, after just 3 years, has rusted through and the paint leaked everywhere. It was fine until I stirred it, (I use a wooden spatula). A plug of hard paint had formed, which moved when I stirred it and the paint started coming out of the base. Luckily it was onto a plastic sheet, so no damage done. I contacted Zinsser to be told that they weren’t interested at all. They didn’t even want to see a photo of the tin base. They said after 3 years, they have no responsibility. It has been kept in a paint cupboard under the stairs, away from heat and cold. There’s not a single dent on the tin and it was thoroughly sealed. I’m shocked to find out that others have had the same issue, yet Zinsser refuses to do anything. I bought it from a trusted supplier, so I’ll go to them now, in the hope that they think it is a reasonable expectation that a tin should stay structurally sound for more than 3 years. I will not be buying Zinsser again. The paint may be ‘ok’ (I agree with others that it does not cover well; 6 coats for the stair rails and window frames), but if the tin degrades that quickly, I can’t trust it.

I used the solvent based paint for my front door. The paint is toxic! I used 3 face masks on top of each other. I was painting for about 2 hours and stopped. Today my lungs are very sore. My mouth is sore and I will never use it again. I feel poisoned. It’s bad!

Zinsser 123 good. Zinsser BIN not so. Zinsser technical contact us advice, absolutely useless, I asked a simple question but no response. So obviously they don’t give a toss about giving technical advice. Which to me says steer clear as they don’t know,

I purchased Zinsser Allcoat satin (water based) to repaint my summerhouse. This paint is horrendous, worst paint I have ever used. The 15 year protection is a joke as it didn’t even last one winter. I cleaned and sanded down the timber even though Zinsser states that no sanding is required. It was the first and last time I will use Zinsser products. Please do not buy this product.

Zinsser AllCoat anthracite grey Exterior Paint This paint is extremely expensive and very poor quality I used it on a project my rear workshop tongue and groove wood This has had 3 coats of this all in one paint and it’s awful not even lasted 15 months let alone 15 years Really really expensive and poor quality certainly doesn’t do what it says on the tin that’s for sure Recommend you buy something else instead and for a lot less money
