SML Paints & Coatings
At SML, we are proud to be leading providers of premium paints and coatings for boats and yachts. Our extensive range includes our own award-winning branded products, specially formulated for ultimate performance and application in low temperatures. Additionally, we have been an independent authorised distributor of Jotun paint since 2004, offering industry-leading products for both marine and industrial applications.
Our story began with building, owning, and maintaining large residential houseboats on the Thames. During this time, we searched for a corrosion protection paint system that could deliver at least 10 years of service while remaining affordable. A friend introduced us to Jotun, and we quickly became loyal customers due to its outstanding performance. In 2004, an opportunity arose to become a distributor for Jotun, covering London and the South East from Oxford to Southampton. Knowing firsthand the quality of the product, we eagerly embraced the chance. Today, we are the main UK distributor of Jotun marine paints, serving customers across the UK—from the Scottish Islands to the Channel Islands and everywhere in between.
Our customers include a wide variety of commercial operators, such as shipbuilders, boatyards, dry docks, and leisure fleets, as well as individual tradespeople working on smaller vessels. At SML, we are committed to helping you find the most cost-effective coating system for your vessel, balancing the need for excellent protection with budgetary constraints.
As experts in Jotun paint, we provide detailed paint specifications and no-obligation quotes, ensuring you receive the best advice for your needs. We promise never to sell you paint that won’t do the job properly or encourage you to spend money unnecessarily. This commitment reflects our dedication to quality and customer satisfaction, as well as our confidence in Jotun’s exceptional performance.
