Yesterday the team got painting around the Mosaic’s- always a good bit of the installation as you know you’re nearly done. The paint really makes the Mosaic’s pop and defines them. . . We’ve been gathering loads of lovely comments as people pass by. The most heart warming this far “I have MS and it makes my hard walk to Asda worthwhile”. .... . . #mosaicinstallation #mosaic #community #bringspeopletogether #leedslife #pudsey #leeds #mosaicinschools #leedsart #communityart @ Owlcotes

The team are hard it, turning this gigantic wall into a work of art. The wall leads up from Pudsey Owlcotes Centre under the ring road and into Pudsey. It is a well trodden path and subway and the guys are getting loads of positive feedback. . . It’s all in a day’s work. This project has been made possible with funding and support from the Local Councillors. .... . . #mosaic #mosaicinstallation #communityart #community #dosomethingpositive #leedsart #leeds #leedslife

I’m very pleased to see gingers are represented 🙌 painting and tarting up today so they all sparkle and ping . If you’re walking past bring cake 🧁 the team are on day 3 and their bodies will be aching, it’s hard graft installing a mosaic of this size.
#repost @maylizgood ・・・... Subway's looking good... second day of installation ... we were able to polish and tidy up the mosaics, they were too wet and smudgy yesterday. Start the painting tomorrow, it'll really come together then. Almost 3/4 of the way down the entire path 💥 @deanashleywood and @yorkshire.curd.tart 👏👏👏 @seagullspaint @laticrete 🙏 #year8 #mosaic #portrait #project #pudseygrangefield #owlcotes #subway #installation #mosaicinstallation #leedsart #mosaicportraits #leeds

#repost @jenlittlebirdie ・・・ As many of you know I’ve written a book on green living, a subject that’s close to my heart. It’s not a book t...hat urges you to make huge changes, rather to make small shifts in habits that become part of our everyday lives. I’m not urging anyone to deprive themselves and I’m not condemning anyone who has bought fast fashion. I have recently as it was within my budget. Making changes in our homes and wardrobe however small add up to big results. Never feel guilty about what you can’t do, embrace what you can do. Sustainable has to be sustainable to you. #slowsustainablehome #livegreenlivesimply #doyourbit #sustainableliving #learnsomething #zerowasteliving #socialenterprise #leeds #leedslife

I know, you’re all wondering what colour we matched for the latest pop up room... we went with @littlegreenepaintcompany this time and their sage and onions shade of green.

Oh yes! Stew and dumplings for lunch, courtesy of Ben and Nathan. Nathan has been coming every Thursday for a cookery lesson off our in house chef Ben. . . Thursday cooking is all part of our volunteer programme We Grow People. We understand the importance of basic life skills (that many of us take for granted) and it can be as simple as learning to chop an onion and make a cup of tea. Nathan is becoming a great cook, Thursday lunch is always yum 😋 .... . . #lunchtime #wegrowpeople #volunteer #learnsomethingnew #lifeskills #lifeskills #feedme #seagullspaint #socialenterprise #helpingpeople #peoplematter #leeds #leedslife

Thanks @thegoose1981 for sharing. Loving your room colour. Just wish I was back in bed now! ・・・ Thanks @seagullspaint for helping make our new bedroom 👌 My fave corner ♥️ #reuserevolution #seagullspaint #bargainpaintleeds #reusepaint #bespokecolourmixing #darkdecor #seagullspaint #leeds

What a fantastic shop as I don't know much about paint the gentleman was great at suggest as I have a baby so he was telling me best paint to get.so it did not harm her. Great customer service I have told everyone about you. So glad I got told about you it made my day. I am able to decorate my new house at a cheap price. Thank you

Went to the Kirksall Rd branch for the paint for my stairs. I have to say how amazingly friendly the staff alllllllways are. They are so helpful & friendly they blow me away every time I go. They also say if the colour isn’t right bring it back & we will mix it again as well as carry my paint to the car.

Always a positive experience � the price is so cheap & the paint is quality ��� Thank you Seagulls �

This place would be dangerous for my pocket if it wasn't so cheap! Won't buy paint anywhere else! Quality is brilliant, all tubs are checked before you buy and every member of staff is ready with top notch advice. Amazing little gem.

This place is unbelievably great. The paint is great quality an still remains cheap as chips. Throw into the mix the great choice of different types of paint (masonry, flooring, blackboard, bathroom etc) and personalised colour mixing and it is a bonafide winner for decorating. The staff have always been cheery, chatty and helpful every visit. I've decorated my house and business using this paint and I can't recommend it highly enough. Thanks guys.

This place is such a hidden gem!! Went here to try it out and I'll never go anywhere else!! The paint is amazing looks beautiful in our bedroom and at such a cheap price only needs one coat! I'm amazed and the guys there are so helpful everything checked before we leave very friendly I'd recommend these to anyone!! 10/10, 5* all the way.

This place is so great.

I arrived armed with a curtain and an art print for colour-comparison; the member of staff was so helpful in mixing a shade of paint to work with both my items, tweaking the shade until it was just right.

And at a great price.

And saving paint from the waste cycle.

Loved it!

The staff are amazing here. Worked out we'd saved over £150, we got the exact colour we wanted hand mixed, all whilst feeling smug about recycling. Everyone's a winner !

The lovely assistant mixed me the exact colour I thought I wanted, I paid for it and walked outside to see a Mini which was the colour I REALLY wanted so I walked back in and asked if he could re-mix the colour!!! Within 5 mins it was all done with a smile on his face. Could not ask for better service - thank you Seagulls Paint - amazing service and prices �� see you again soon

Thank you to Andy for helping me out when I popped in for the first time last Saturday. I was in my element picking colours for a mural I will be painting with the kids at AIM Education. I am currently assessing what else I can paint so I can visit again! Excellent place :)

Really helpful staff, really great prices, so glad we have a place like this in Leeds :)

Just had an amazing time doing the mosaic workshop. Fantastic room, full of resources. I can't remember the last time I focused on one thing for a four hour block! Can't wait to get it grouted tomorrow to see the finished effect. Thank you, it's given me a great feeling of accomplishment too.

I've bought from Seagulls Paint twice and really enjoyed the experience. Sounds odd, I know. But, you can see their satisfaction when they've mixed the paint that matches the colour card from the most random of colours. It it makes me laugh seeing them use the optics, just because it's so bizarre, but yet amazing. I'm so happy with my latest decorating project, the colour is perfect. Keep up the good work and well done on receiving your award. ������������

I visited this shop today and loved it thought the prices where soooo cheap and affordable and the guy who helped me today didn't get his name had dark dark hair was very helpful and made an effort to mix and get the colours right .. really happy with my purchases and very good value for money. I got 3 decent size tins of paint for 15.00 bargain . I will be back soon as it made my day that you also do chalk paint which I will be buying lots of for my upcycling projects :) 5 out of 5 �����

Hi I've been in twice over the last few days, I've been re painting my chimney breast in my bedroom from a dark plum colour to pastel colours, the guys I spoke to were really helpful, the lovely lad who mixed all my paints for me (not sure of his name, but dark hair and glasses) as well as another couple of your guys, one who had said he used to be a scaffolder and a younger lad (who I remember used to have huge hair!) they were brilliant when I came in, Just to let them know it was a success (although the frog tape did dye the wall a tint of green but it goes quite will so I'm happy) thanks again to the guys who helped us, I always use seagulls as they aren't scared of taking time to mix colours until it's perfect! I also walked out with 5 tins of different coloured paints (not small tins either) for £25! Spot on customer service and lovely guys there! Thanks again �

Great!

We almost spent £40 on two tins of paint then we discovered this place! We spent £7.50 on the paint we needed and it’s recycled so a great cheap way to help the environment too! I will be back again �

Great place, great people, great concept, great savings, love it!

Got some paint 'poppy red gloss' saved for (1 week) me a while back, they didn't mind this at all and i even got a better price deal due to it not being a full tin. Am current using it on a guitar project for LS14 Trust - will post update later on when it's done.

Would highly recommend, am going back soon for paint to use on flat too.

Awesome stuff !!! Happy to be reviewer no 100 !!! Congrats guys on doing an amazing job. Steve Bettertogether Leeds.

Amazing place! Wouldn’t go anywhere else for paint now we have found this Aladdin’s cave! Staff & volunteers are so helpful, friendly & professional! They know their paint! Fantastic social enterprise. Amazing ethos. Love that by buying paint from Seagulls you’re also helping to save the planet too! #divertfromlandfill #planetpeopleprofit
