Wickes Paint

Popped into my local wickes today (Havant) and they loads of own brand paint 70% off. Apparently they are changing suppliers and need to clear it all out by the 24th Feb..

I brought a 10 litre trade paint a 2.5 litre gloss and a 2.5 wipe clean bathroom paint all for £9.97 :j

Not sure if its all nationwide

  • Yes it is nationwide. There was a post about this a few weeks ago but they still have quite a bit in my local branches. They even have the tester pots so you don't have to take a chance on colour.

    thanks to op. I thought this had finished ages ago. Need to get some paint. will pop in tomorrow
  • I bought some after the first thread .. now used it and very impressed - so will go back for a second look!
  • I bought some after the first time this was posted too. I've now been in my local Wickes twice for paint! Nearly finished my en-suite and got paint for my boys bedroom and my living room. Its a great buy if you can find colours you like, there's definitely a limited selection left now but I got 6 pots. Thats a big saving when you buy kitchen and bathroom paint or one coat matt emulsion so I'm very happy.
  • Thanks for this OP:T, I went into my local branch today and bought seven 2.5ltr tins of emulsion,enough to do three rooms, in ivory and off white, all £2.50 each, and two 10ltr tins of emulsion, in white and beige, £5 each. What a bargain, I'm ready to decorate my living room now.
  • went to wickes in wigan today and there was not much there, i managed to pick up a 5 litre brilliant white trade matt for £6.99 apart from that there were about 12 masonry paints left :)

    I was in my local Wickes today in Bury, Lancs and they are giving away the remainder of the paint now. At least that was what the sign said, but I paid a princely 1p for my bottle of knotting compound! Not worth arguing for eh? ;)

    They had kitchen & bathroom emulsion, tile paint, gloss (nice dark blue and green colours), undercoat/primers and some other bits and pieces- all on the shelf end near the tills. If only I needed gloss?!
