For wood, we recommend using PVA wood glue or waterproof variants if the project is outdoors. For metal bonding, an epoxy adhesive or super glue provides strong, durable results. If you’re working with ceramics, super glue or tile adhesive is ideal for repairs and installations. Our staff can help you choose the most suitable adhesive based on the materials you’re working with.

Choosing the right paint finish depends on the room and the look you want to achieve. For high-traffic areas like kitchens and bathrooms, satin or semi-gloss finishes are ideal as they are more durable and easier to clean. For living rooms or bedrooms, a matt finish provides a soft, non-reflective look that works well for most walls. Our team at The Toolbox can help you pick the best finish based on your room and personal preferences.

Yes, we do. At The Toolbox, we provide a Dulux colour matching service allowing us to match any shade you need for your project. Bring a sample and we can create the exact colour in-store, giving you a seamless finish that’s perfect for any room or surface.

Yes, we do. Our knowledgeable team can help you choose the right type of paint based on the surface you’re working with, whether it’s interior walls, exterior brickwork, wood or metal. We offer expert recommendations on paint finishes (such as matt, satin or gloss), and can guide you on whether you need primers or sealants to prepare the surface properly.

For tiling projects, we recommend using a high-quality tile adhesive, suitable for the specific type of tile you’re using (ceramic, porcelain or natural stone). For grouting, we offer both flexible and rigid options depending on your installation needs. If you’re unsure about which adhesive or grout to use, our team can offer advice tailored to your project.
