Taubmans Endure Low Sheen
Verified94 reviews
I have used other brands such as Resene, Haynes, British paints and they are all much better than this Taubmans low sheen endure garbage. It shows all roller marks unlike other brands I have used. Sorry Taubmans until you improve your product I am going back to Haynes. Show details
Absolutely pathetic, 4 coats to cover walls and having said that the wall was like colour and we were painting light colour. Half way through the house decided to try Dulux and what a game changer, Dulux almost covered in 1 coat. I can't believe Taubmans sell paint like water. Don't be fooled by the slightly cheaper price Show details
We engaged a team of professional painters to paint our entire house (indoors) last year. This was the first time that our house had been painted since we built 14 years ago. The painting team used a Taubmans Pure Performance product (which I couldn't specifically find this product to review). Initially it looked great, although after just 1 month… Read more
any wall which was subject to any kind of moisture appeared to show a residue which was sticky to touch. The painters asked a Taubmans representative to look at the result and he cut a sample off the wall to send to the lab for testing. After 9 weeks and a follow up call, we were advised that their results showed that the product used was manufactured according to their specifications. The rep advised that the issue was created by poor ventilation. Despite some frustration at this result, we actively sought to fix the issue by way of adding security screens to allow us to confidently leave windows open, added more powerful exhaust fans and even replaced our clothes dryer to modern technology. Our original painters then returned to repair/paint the impacted areas. Again, despite the new measures the moisture residue was apparent within weeks. Upon contacting the Taubmans representative I was advised that there was nothing wrong with the product it was a case of poor ventialtion and nothing more could be done on his part. I asked if this was the case, why we hadn't experienced a similar issue in the 14 years prior with the original Dulux product, and I was advised that it was our problem to deal with. It is disappointing this issue has occurred as the remainder of the house looks good and meets our expectations.

Great paint – I used this on the inside and taubmans all weather on the outside. I could not be happier with the products I am not a painter however I have done a few jobs. I used about 90L on both jobs it was a big job. I almost did not buy it because of the negative reviews but I tried a sample pot. Show details · 1
Very happy – I used Endure low sheen for my ceilings and couldn't be happier. Great coverage, no streaks. Show details · 1
Shocking, may as well be coloured water! – I've just painted a feature wall and the paint is literally like coloured water. It's dripping and the coverage is terrible. I finished the first coat over half an hour ago and just noticed the wall again has drip marks all over it. I've painted my entire apartmene before and painted my bedroom a few months ago and never had this problem. They… Read more
were Dulux and British Paints though. By far the worst 'paint' I've ever used. Quite franly I want my money back!

Worst paint I have ever used – Painting previously painted walls which were cream and one a latte colour. Four coats of paint and it is still patchy. I will be returning the unused can I have for another brand. Show details

Surprised on reviews – I'm surprised to see bad reviews on this product. I found it the best I've used over a few brands and types. Maybe there was a bad batch of paint or trolling reviews by competitors. I will use this again. Show details · 1
I love Endure – I have used Taubmans Endure many times before. I have just completed painting my kitchen and dining walls white, two coats, and found it easy to roll with no streaks. I cannot understand the bad reviews. I am wondering if people aren't letting it dry, panic and try rolling it again and causing streaks. Dried within the specified time and can spot… Read more · 1
clean it without any marks. Painted my kitchen and dining ceiling with Taubmans Low Sheen Water Based Enamel and, surprisingly, it looks great. Now I will be able to scrub my ceiling clean. I hate flat paint. Thanks Taubmans!
Excellent quality and looks great! – Used with 3 in 1 basecoat. Took 3 coats all up to get a perfectly smooth finish, the colour looks outstanding and had no problems with streaks. Really great paint! Show details · 1
Negative reviews
3 coats and patch still showing – Our builder, Masterton Homes, used this paint on our house, they did 3 coats and yet you can still see a patch under the paint. I'm no painter but I've never seen a paint so poor as to not even cover a patch with 3 coats.

Worst paint we've every used – Never buying Taubmans ever again and I would never recommend using them to anyone especially when trade prices change without notification. Worst company to deal with Show details

Absolutely terrible and waste of time – I've just done the third application and the finish is shocking. I've painted houses for years and this takes the cake as being the worst paint I've come across. Do not waste your time and money like I did. Show details

Patchy finish – I found the finish on this product awful. I have painted many interior walls in my time, but this simply is the worst I've ever had (even the Aldi brand paint had a better finish in an old rental) I find it dries too fast so the overlap with a roller leaves a matt and low sheen finish. Will be going to either Haymes or Dulux. Show details

Stay away, waste of time – Bought 2 10litre tins Taubmans Endure White Low Sheen and Accent Matt. Used the matt to paint a ceiling with the poorest results I have ever had from a paint. Streaky and patchy finish, almost transparent in places. I did not thin the paint, applied with new rollers. Both tins were bought from Renovator Auctions in December, used the paint in… Read more
January. I wont even bother applying a second coat, it is just a waste of time and money. Back to Dulux for me. Used Dulux for 40 yrs and should never have stopped. Now to get rid of the paint that is left.

DO NOT USE complete waste of time unless you like streaks – I wish I'd read these reviews before I used this paint. I normally use Dulux and never an issue. With this one, after 5 coats (yes, 5) I still have streaks and a terrible looking finish. Tried a different roller, I did some, my husband did some, the only variable we can now point to is the paint. Am so frustrated with the time and money wasted (not cheap by any means). I am going to email Taubmans to get my money back at the very least. Show details

Poor finish and streaky. Even after 4 coats. So very frustrated – Painting lounge and hall. The finish is extremely disappointing. I usually only use Dulux wash n wear and have never had this problem. I should have stuck with what I knew. After 10 litres and 4 coats we are thinking of just starting again. Show details

Terrible Experience – I was trying to decide if it would be better to use Dulux Wash & Wear or Taubmans Endure Paint. I read the reviews on this website and saw that the reviews were not very good and that the paint was very streaky. I then went to Bunnings to buy the paint and asked the paint counter person which paint they recommended. I was advised to use… Read more
Taubmans Endure. I said that the reviews are not great and they the complaint is that the paint is streaky and it will possibly take more that 2 coats to get a decent finish. I thought that I would give the Taubmans Endure a go and see the results for myself.
I painted one large wall in a bedroom with the Endure. The finish was very streaky and I ended up painting 4 coats on the wall, to get a semi reasonable result. I used up 90% of the 4 litre tin, just on the one wall due to the number of coats painted.
I'm very disappointed with the Endure paint as you should not need to paint 4 coats just to get all the streaks out and end up with an acceptable result..
Lessons learnt: 1) Trust reviews from other people as this will save you time and frustration. 2) Use Dulux for the next project

Disappointing finish – Very dissatisfied with the finish of “Endure” needed 4 coats to get some sort of even looking coverage. Still looks streaky. Never ever had this problem with Dulux which only needed 2 coats & a lot easier to apply with a much even looking finish. Used on interior walls. Show details

Do Not Use – Do not use this company. Absolutely useless before sales and colour swatch/ brush out team- god knows know their after sales service is. I paid for several swatches express during lockdown. They were never sent and now the painting job is long gone complete with another paint company. I am STILL chasing a refund after many many emails (yes I have… Read more
contacted the info email provided to other responses) calls voicemails Facebook messages to no avail. No apology and no refund received as of yet. Dont waste your time and money!

This is not perfect; I can live without it – I repainted a 7x7 metre room with Taubmans Endure Low Sheen after sanding the walls to within an inch of their life; undercoated etc. Paint dried fairly quickly and provided good coverage. Paint was very difficult to get roller marks out of painted area and winds up patchy - numerous coats applied with same results. Warning to Taubmans;before you… Read more
question and find fault with my technique and experience; forty years experience with various paints and surfaces. I want my money back - expensive crap product that does not meet the hype and expectation. Paint purchased at bunnings.
I tried to ring Taubmans customer help center, I found it Impossible to get to speak to anyone at Taubmans by calling 131 number - either all your customers are waiting to complain about products or Taubmans have allocated so few staff - I suspect it is a mix of both due to the time I waited with the recorded voice announcement bullshitting me about your products - all our consultants are attending other calls - if you would like to leave a voice message dial 1- if you would like to return to the main menu dial 0 - or you may end the call by hanging up.
**** Obviously this is what Taubmans hopes callers will do, so Taubmans will not have to deal with disgruntled and crap off customers**** I gave the product two stars for coverage, drying time etc; hope I have not been over generous. My conclusions and results mirror many others reviews.

Streaks and lines everywhere – Glad I found this pages as I though I was going mad, painting and re-painting the same wall to try and get rid if streaks and lines. Worst paint I have ever used. I’ve gone through 4l on basically one wall and now I’ve run out, which is not such an easy problem to solve during a lockdown. Like other one star reviewers, I was painting during hot weather. Terrible. Show details

Great paint but the cans develop rust holes – I have been a Taubmans Endure fan for some time and generally, it is my go-to paint. Just lately I have found that the tins rust from the inside below the paint level and of course they then leak. A couple have been in the bottom and the last one is in the side. Not a real good recommendation when sitting on the same shelf are "cheap" brand paints… Read more
of twice and three times the age where the cans remain in good nick. The last Taubmans can to leak is less than two years old and half full. Not limited to the 4 lt can either as the last one is a 2 lt tin. Please - Taubmans spend a couple of extra cents and give us cans that last the distance. Your paint is not cheap and I would like to think I can keep the remainder in the same tin I brought it in.

10/10 Product – To everyone complaining about "thick brush marks and roller lines" or any nonsense like that, obviously doesn't know how to use a brush and roller properly. I use Taubmans Endure nearly everyday and have never had issues with it. Show reply
Hiring a Painter from the Taubman's site – Hired a Painter to paint the complete outside of the house. Selected the Lifetime Endure Paint. But after selecting a Painting business on the Taubman's site, they had not completed the job and could not get them back for the love of money. Plus there application was not done properly and this came from a Taubman's representative attending and… Read more
doing a report on the workmanship. Tread very carefully when selecting a painting firm. Taubman's do nothing to help and do not even remove them from their site after an official complaint has been lodged. Tread very careful. There accountability is not existent.

So easy to paint – Has to be the best paint on the market.Found it easy to apply as I was painting over a previously painted surface that was in good state.The reason I repainted the whole apartment was my son hated the light brown/coffee colour .I painted it over with Taubmans Endure once only it did its job perfectly. The biggest bonus was it was low odour almost none.Great product... Show details · 1
Very disappointed – I used Taubmans endure low sheen paint on living room wall after two coats still have roller marks on wall and brush marks on cutting in. I’ve always used British paints and never had these problems. Won’t be using Taubman‘s again. Show details

Beautiful finish – This paint has been my preferred interior paint for years. It is smooth on application, covers well and even touches up without definition. Low odour makes it easy to tolerate and it doesn’t splatter when rolling. So rewarding painting with this product Show details · 1
Very happy – Accurate timeframe between coats, painted entire house and we are very happy the results. Definitely a 2 coat application to cover the horrible yellow our house was but after second coat it was beautiful. We choose “white pearl” low sheen for all walls. Very low odour paint, we painted at midday and were able to sleep in our room that night without any paint fumes. Show details · 1
Premium price, low grade paint – We purchased 4 litres of endure tinted to a dark blue and 4 litres of 3 in 1 primer sealer undercoat from bunnings for $150. This was highly recommended by the fella at bunnings. We followed the instructions to the dot, and after 5 coats of endure, you can still see the cutting brush spots, and roller marks. So that's 6 coats of taubmans… Read more
products and still an unsatisfactory result!
I painted another room in the house 2 years ago with British paints clean & protect tinted to a very dark green and it worked wonderfully with 2 coats, without any fancy undercoats or primers etc.

Very poor product – I purchased a 4l can of Taubmans Endure Interior paint on the advice of Bunnings in November to paint a new kitchen wall. After applying the recommended coat of 3 in 1 primer I used the Endure product with a top of the range roller (also recommended by Bunnings). Unfortunately even after another 3 coats the roller and brush marks continue to show through. Show details
