About Technical Paint Services
Technical Paint Services is an independent manufacturer and supplier of specialist paints and coatings. We also offer trade paints and a comprehensive Technical Advice Service. Please either call or email us with your enquiry or order. When emailing, kindly include as much detail as possible about the surface you intend to paint - for example, whether it is new or previously treated, the environmental conditions (such as a humid pool area or a high-traffic floor), and so on. EMail Us HERE.
Please note that we are not decorating contractors and do not provide painting or application services.
We offer a full, free advisory service to support you prior to painting. Simply email us with a broad outline of your project - ideally accompanied by photos that show the condition of the substrate. We will assess your situation and provide our recommendations, along with a painting specification and timeframe to help you achieve your desired result. If the substrate is severely damaged or outside the scope of our product range, we will advise you accordingly.
Our extensive product range includes both mainstream and specialist offerings, suitable for industrial, commercial, coastal, rural or urban environments. With more than 80 years of industry expertise, we have encountered - and supplied solutions for - virtually every requirement. We offer both water-based and solvent-based systems designed for professional and trade use.
Some of our most popular specialist paints include Swimming Pool Paints, Swimming Pool Hall & Enclosure Paints, Squash Court Paints and Tennis Court Paints. These are available in a wide selection of colours and finishes, following the BS4800 and RAL colour standards. We are pleased to offer excellent non-lead alternatives to lead-based paints through our A49 Exterior Range.
With 80 years' experience, we provide detailed specifications, expert technical guidance and trusted advice on application. Whatever your surface or project, we are here to help you choose the most suitable solution.

As the seasons change, it is important that you are aware of the optimum weather and temperature conditions for maximising your painting opportunities.
SUMMER IS HERE - TIME TO PAINT SMART!
At last, summer has arrived - and with it, warmer days, longer evenings, and the perfect opportunity to tackle those big exterior painting projects you’ve been putting off. Whether you’re looking to freshen up your swimming pool, repaint a roof, or give your industrial units or agricultural buildings a long-overdue makeover, now’s the time to get the brushes out.
Make the Most of the Weather - But Be Paint-Savvy.
Summer offers excellent conditions for exterior painting - but it’s not without its challenges. While the warmer temperatures help surfaces dry out after a long, damp spring, high heat can also cause paints to dry too quickly. This can lead to issues like mud cracking, where the top layer dries before the layers beneath, causing an uneven, flaky finish.
To avoid this, follow these best practices:
- Paint early in the day or in the evening to avoid strong, direct sunlight.
- Work in shaded areas wherever possible, especially when painting metal or tarmac.
- Avoid over-thinning your paint - heat naturally makes coatings less viscous, so they may set too quickly if further diluted.
- Follow curing times carefully - “touch dry” does not mean the surface is ready for a second coat.
Great Projects to Tackle in Summer.
This is the ideal season to complete high-exposure or large-scale outdoor painting jobs, including:
Swimming pools & pool houses
Ponds & water features
Roofs & solar-reflective coatings
Tennis courts & MUGAs
Industrial plant & silos
Agricultural & commercial buildings
Summer conditions help dry out damp masonry, concrete, and metal, giving you a better base for long-lasting adhesion and a smooth, even finish.
Choosing the Right Paint for the Job.
In communal areas or high-use environments, low-odour, water-based paints are often the best choice. We offer an extensive range of both water-based and solvent-based coatings tailored for every surface and situation.
If you're battling solar gain from glass, metal, or asphalt roofing, we highly recommend our solar reflective and anti-glare coatings, available in both water-based and spirit-based formulations. These help to reflect heat and UV radiation, keeping buildings cooler and improving energy efficiency.
Technical Advice You Can Trust.
With over 80 years’ experience, we’re here to support you with detailed specifications, technical guidance and trusted application advice. Whatever your surface or project, we’ll help you choose the right solution. So, take advantage of the dry weather and give your property or premises the protection it deserves.
