FAQs

What is the best budget paint UK?

Our wilko paint has been giving excellent results at a fair price since the 1970s – it’s stuck around for a reason!

You’ll find all the biggest and best paint brands on wilko.com and, as the home of family value, they won’t break the bank either.

Should you paint walls or skirting first?

Always paint from the top down – start with ceilings, then walls, and lastly skirting boards. This way, you won’t drip on any freshly painted surfaces!

Can I use paint that has separated?

If paint isn’t used for a while, it can sometimes separate. Generally, if it combines well when mixed and isn’t lumpy, it’ll be fine to use.

Test on a small area first to make doubly sure!

What rooms should you use flat paint?

Flat or matt paint is good for painting walls which are uneven, and is great at covering small imperfections. Satin or gloss paints tend to highlight these imperfections, but are good at reflecting light and making your rooms brighter.
