Bastion Paint products are supplied with durability guarantee periods that are clearly displayed on the products.

All guarantee periods have been responsibly determined through testing and via the application of the applicable modern technology. In most cases the actual life will far exceeded the guarantee period.

No guarantee is valid if the paint has been used for the incorrect application or if the surface preparation or application method has been incorrect. In order to have some influence over this we require that the guarantee is registered within 30 days of purchase of the product.

Larger paint users such as painting contractors can automatically pass the guarantee period onto their customers simply by being registered with Bastion Paint once. The concept here is that the contractor performing the painting knows how to prepare surfaces and apply paint correctly. The contractor must retain proof of purchase of Bastion Paint products as well as proof of payment from their customer (this will all be present in normal bookkeeping records).

To register your guarantee simply state the product purchased and the physical address to be painted. Leave the information as a message at 032 525 4491 or send an e-mail to bastion@paint1.co.za

Once Registered, the full durability guaranteed period is covered.

The registered paint Durability Guarantees apply to age induced problems such as flaking, peeling, cracking and similar defects only. No guarantees are given against chipping, scratching or wear and tear due to incorrect treatment.
