Masonry Paint

Refresh render, brick, pebbledash and concrete with masonry paint from Sandtex, Bedec, Granocryl, Dulux, Rustins and Leyland Trade. The range includes Sandtex masonry paint, Dulux Weathershield masonry paint, smooth masonry paint and textured masonry paint, mostly in 5L and 10L tins, with colours such as French grey, sea stone, magnolia, cornish cream and old white.

Grey paint is a popular choice for modern exteriors, so you will find grey masonry paint from Sandtex and Granocryl as well as Dulux grey paint options. Weathershield masonry paint is made for UK weather, and Sandtex smooth masonry paint gives a flat, even look on previously painted or rendered walls. Textured masonry paint hides small cracks and uneven surfaces better than a smooth finish.

Prepare walls first by brushing off dirt, treating algae and mould, filling cracks and applying a stabilising primer on chalky or powdery surfaces. Paint in dry, mild weather and apply two coats. As a guide, a 10L tin covers a larger area than a 5L tin, so measure the wall and check the coverage on the label.
