How to request a return

Some products require controlled transport, so please do not post goods or take them to a collection branch until the team confirms what to do.

Use the contact form, email or phone and state that the enquiry is about a return.

02

Provide the details

Include your order number, item, reason for return and photographs where relevant.

03

Follow the return route

We will confirm the authorised address or collection arrangement and any transport requirements.

Change-of-mind returns

Condition, exclusions & transport

Handle products only as much as reasonably necessary to inspect them. A refund may be reduced if unnecessary handling has diminished the value of the goods.

Keep products secureReturn the complete item in suitable original packaging wherever possible.

Custom productsMade-to-order, custom-tinted or mixed products are not normally cancellable for change of mind, unless faulty.

Restricted carriageSome chemicals cannot be returned through ordinary postal services. We will advise on the correct transport route.

Refund timingWhere a consumer refund is due, it will be processed within the timescale required by law, normally after the goods are received back or return evidence is supplied.

Returns FAQs

For the quickest resolution, keep the order number and product details to hand when you contact us.

Can I return an online order because I changed my mind?

If you bought as a consumer, tell us within 14 days after receiving the goods. You then have another 14 days to return them. Certain exceptions apply, including goods made to your specification.

Will you refund the original delivery charge?

For a qualifying consumer cancellation, the standard outbound delivery cost is refundable. Any extra amount paid for an enhanced service is not refundable beyond the standard-delivery amount.

Who pays to send a change-of-mind return back?

The customer is normally responsible for the direct return cost. Because some products have carrier restrictions, contact us before choosing a return service.

Can I take a return to any collection branch?

Not without prior agreement. The branch used for collection may not be the correct returns location. Contact us first and wait for an authorised return route.

What if the product is faulty or was damaged in transit?

Contact us promptly with photographs and keep the product and packaging. Your legal rights are not affected by the change-of-mind conditions on this page.
