Paint - Dulux Endurance - can anyone beat £17?

The cheapest I have found so far is £17 for 2.5 litres at Homebase. Has anyone found anywhere cheaper? Thanks.

    Without doing an online search I can't say for sure, but I always find Wilkinsons have paints at great prices so have a look there

    Thanks very much Hoploz. I didn't of looking at Wilko's. I will have a look. Wicke's are doing a 3 for 2 but at £26 they're slightly more plus you have to buy 3 tins.

    The Endurance in Wickes is "Endurance+" - hence it is more expensive :)

    Compare carefully!

    Ruski - forgot to ask if there's much difference between Endurance and Endurance + - is it worth paying extra?

    It seems like endurance+ has superseded Endurance as it's not listed on Dulux site.

    Most likely to be a re-branding of the same item with little or no difference in quality - can't see that you'd notice a difference tbh.

    HTH

    Having just refurbed a house to move into I will never ever buy consumer paint again. I've used dulux endurance and don't rate it. It is better than standard matt, but still has limited wipe-ability and if you ever have to touch it up it sticks out like a sore thumb. I will now only ever use Crown scrubbable matt. You can scrub it and it stands up better than any other emulsion I've ever used. I'm convinced I could have used it on the woodwork and it would have been fine. It is also seamless when you need to touch it up. Not cheap though. It was on offer when we bought it and it was still 40-odd quid for 5l.

  • You can get them for £13 on Amazon including delivdelivery. Price does fluctuate though so you might have to wait if it's not at lowest price and you're not in a hurry.
