Gloss Paint
Gloss paint is a popular choice for achieving a smooth, reflective finish that stands up well to daily use. Indoors, it brings a clean, sharp look to doors, trims, and woodwork while offering strong resistance to knocks and scrapes. Many water-based gloss options are specially formulated for interior paint, providing a low-odour, quick-drying solution ideal for busy households or fast-paced decorating projects. Outdoors, gloss paint offers long-term weather resistance and enhances the look of surfaces like masonry, metal, or uPVC. With specialist exterior paint available for various materials, gloss coatings not only brighten up a property but also add a durable layer of protection against rain, sunlight, and pollution.

Gloss Paint – High-Sheen Finishes for Woodwork, Trim, Walls & Metal Surfaces
Gloss paints deliver a smooth, reflective finish that holds up well against impact, moisture, and daily wear. Often used indoors on trims, doors, and skirting boards, they create a clean, durable surface that’s easy to wipe down. Water-based gloss is well-suited to interior jobs thanks to its low odour and fast drying time, while oil-based gloss gives a more traditional finish with excellent levelling.
On external surfaces, gloss paint refreshes and protects a wide range of materials, from uPVC window frames to masonry walls and metal pipework. Many homeowners use it to modernise exterior woodwork or update plastic fixtures, often choosing popular colours such as anthracite grey for a smart finish. Its strong weather resistance makes gloss a practical option where both durability and appearance matter.
A key factor in performance is proper preparation - cleaning, sanding, and applying the correct primer allow gloss paints to form a strong bond. With 5,000+ colours available, it’s easy to match or contrast existing finishes across interior and exterior elements. Gloss systems can be used on previously painted surfaces, bare timber, primed metal, or sealed masonry.
High-sheen finishes are often used in woodwork applications where impact resistance and cleanability are essential. From window sills to balustrades, wood paints in a gloss finish deliver the strength and clarity needed for demanding environments.
Gloss Paint FAQs
Can gloss paint be used on previously painted surfaces?
Yes, but the existing paint must be in sound condition. Light sanding helps the new gloss coat adhere properly, and a bonding undercoat may be recommended.
What surfaces should not be painted with gloss?
Gloss is not ideal for floors, fabric, or unsealed porous surfaces without primer. It may also highlight imperfections on uneven walls due to its reflective finish.
How many coats of gloss paint are typically needed?
Most applications require two coats for even coverage and depth of colour. A suitable primer or undercoat will reduce the number of gloss coats needed on bare surfaces.
Is sanding between gloss coats necessary?
A light sanding between coats can help improve adhesion and produce a smoother finish, especially when working with oil-based gloss paints.
Can gloss be used in high-moisture areas like utility rooms?
Yes. Anti-mould paints in a gloss finish offer excellent moisture resistance, suitable for utility rooms and other humid environments where wipeable, durable surfaces are required.
