Ronseal DRPCH25L 2.5 Litre Decking Rescue Paint - Charcoal

Our deck is several years old and was deteriorating in places. Some repairs and fixes made good, but it was still looking very worse the wear. The Ronseal Rescue Paint has been a godsend. Even after a thorough jet wash to remove the worst of the discoloration and blemishes it still had marks and was in need of a lot of TLC. The paint covered small cracks and splits, while giving a uniform coverage and was really easy to put on. Our deck looks like new and is ready for the winter now. Theres been some reviews about chipping and splitting of the paint after a year or two, but it plainly says on the tin that further applications may be required in subsequent years. What else would you expect from a walked-upon painted surface? We're very pleased with the product and the supplier. Great communication regarding delivery and 30% less than from your go-to national chain DIY store. At that price, it's a steal!

Equally impressed as other reviewers. We had the typical, should-have-looked-after-it-but-didn't, grey decking. In decent condition but just colourless, grey, dull. After a brush and a jetwash, followed by drying the day before, I put this stuff on. I've only done a single coat but the results are night and day compared to what it was. Last time I did this a few years ago i put stain on which simply didn't do very much at all, nor did it look particularly different or great. The consistency of colour is miles better on this for a much better overall effect. As other have said, it's easy to consume a 2.5L can. We have 20m+ sq of decking with a small section of handrail and it took approx tin and a half of this to cover it, so it's coverage estimates are accurate on the tin (it says about 16m sq IIRC). I only ordered 2 tins so i'll need to wander down to DIY shed to get a third to finish it off. Annoying as it is 10 quid cheaper a tin online, but i need it fast to get it done. Easy to clean up afterwards (soap and water). Paint is reasonably viscous, not too drippy. my best tip: go down to your local diy shed and pickup a decking brush with pole (looks a bit like a sweeping brush) for about 8 quid. Saves your back, economical spreading, fast application relatively speaking. Overall: very pleased with results, would definitely recommend. Prompt delivery from marketplace seller, thanks. Wife wasn't so sure about paint, wanted stain, I overruled, but on seeing it she was pretty pleased.

Used on decking as the previous stain kept peeling off as not all our decking is in the sun.. this is the best cover we have used yet.. easy to put on and has kept the colour well.. slight flaking off in the middle, but that is where the water tends to gather and has the most wear and tear .. will keep using this regularly now as good product

We decided we would build and paint our own front fence, only a 2.5 foot high one to stop people walking over the shale (why do people do that??). The problem was, my wife wanted a particular colour. Not black and not grey and she settled on Anthracite. Could we find exterior anthracite paint anywhere?. Many hours spent searching on the internet until we found this on Amazon. It says charcoal, but a check with the international colour charts told us it was RAL75 - Anthracite. It is meant for decking but we used it on the fence and it does the trick fine. The first picture is the fence built, the second gives you an idea of the size of the fence we painted and the other 2 are the best I can get of the colour. We ordered a 2.5l tin and gave the fence (both sides) 3 coats and we still have 1/4 a tin left for a planter my wife wants me to build to match the fence style. Tin arrived undamaged and on time. Couldn't have been more impressed - apart from all the work building and painting it.

Used this on my daughter's decking which had previously been painted with some sort of glossy type paint by the previous owner. Although scrubbed with a wire brush and jet washed down it still looked a mess with some of the paint refusing to come off, but with two coats of this rescue paint it looked almost as good as new as it filled in splits and small holes in the wood. Have yet to see how it does over the winter but so far very pleased with the result, and it was very easy to use. Does what it says on the tin.

I love the paint, I have bought it a few times and it works it magic.. but in this occasion the paint was opened.. and then had clingfilm wrapped around the lid. When opening the box it was a very messy situation we were in xx

It did the job it was supposed to

Loved this paint, charcoal colour was great, tried the lighter colour slate, initially but it was very much like battleship grey with a hint of blue in it. The paint is super thick and great quality leaving a good finish. A few bits have already cracked off on the decking, but we also painted some wood in the garden including our pergola and it looks great, it will probably last longer on the rest of the wood over the decking.
