For hardware stores, building supply outlets and independent paint retailers, choosing the right brands to stock can have a direct impact on customer loyalty and business growth. Customers are not simply looking for paint. They want products they can trust, expert advice and the right coating for the job.
Whether a customer is refreshing an interior, waterproofing a roof, protecting timber or specifying coatings for an industrial application, having a comprehensive product range available makes your store a more valuable destination.
Becoming a Dekro Paints stockist or reseller gives retailers access to an established South African paint manufacturer with a broad portfolio of decorative, waterproofing, industrial, marine and specialist coatings.
What is a Dekro Paints Stockist or Reseller?
A Dekro stockist or reseller is an approved retail or wholesale partner that supplies Dekro products to customers within their local market.
These businesses provide an important connection between Dekro’s manufacturing capabilities and the people using its products every day, including:
- Professional painters and painting contractors
- Builders and construction companies
- Property maintenance teams
- Architects and industry professionals
- Commercial and industrial customers
- DIY homeowners
Depending on the needs of the local market, stockists can offer products across several Dekro categories. These range from everyday decorative paints to specialised coatings designed for demanding environments.
For retailers, this creates an opportunity to serve both the DIY paint market and professional trade market from one trusted product portfolio.

Offer Customers a Diverse Range of Paint and Coating Solutions
One of the biggest advantages of becoming a Dekro Paints reseller is the variety available.
Different projects require very different coatings. A homeowner painting a bedroom has different requirements from a contractor waterproofing a roof or a business protecting steel structures from corrosion.
Dekro’s extensive product portfolio allows stockists to cater for a wide range of applications.
Decorative and architectural coatings
Dekro offers interior and exterior paint solutions for residential, commercial and architectural applications. This includes environmentally conscious options within the Dekro Enviro Range.
Waterproofing and roof coatings
Waterproofing remains an important consideration for South African properties. Dekro offers specialised solutions including Solardek UV, All-In-One Waterproofing and Rainproof, helping retailers provide customers with products for roofs, parapets and other areas exposed to the elements.
Industrial and speciality coatings
For professional and commercial customers, Dekro manufactures coatings developed for more demanding applications. The range includes industrial, floor, hygiene and marine coating solutions.
Wood and metal coatings
Stockists can also cater for customers looking to protect timber and metal surfaces with specialised wood treatments, varnishes, lacquers and corrosion-resistant metal finishes.
This diversity gives retailers the ability to recommend a more complete coating system rather than relying on a limited selection of general-purpose products.

Stock a South African Paint Brand Built Around Quality
Quality is particularly important in the coatings industry. Customers expect paint to provide good coverage, reliable adhesion, lasting colour and appropriate protection for the surface on which it is used.
Dekro Paints Group has established itself as one of South Africa’s leading manufacturers and distributors of paints and coatings. The company operates according to stringent quality assurance standards and is a Certified SABS ISO 9001 Company.
Dekro also offers up to 10-year quality guarantees on selected premium product ranges, including industrial, decorative and hygiene coatings.
For a retailer, stocking products backed by established manufacturing and quality-control processes can help build customer confidence.
When contractors and homeowners find a coating that performs well, they are also more likely to return to the retailer that supplied it.

Meet Growing Demand for More Environmentally Conscious Coatings
The way people choose building materials is changing.
Homeowners, contractors, architects and commercial specifiers are increasingly considering the environmental impact of the products they use. This means paint retailers need to think beyond colour, coverage and price.
Dekro continues to invest in research, development and modern coating technology, including its New Green Generation approach to environmentally responsible formulations.
The aim is to offer more environmentally conscious coating options while maintaining the performance expected from a professional paint product.
For stockists, this creates another valuable conversation with customers. Instead of offering only conventional options, retailers can help consumers make more informed choices for their homes, businesses and projects.

Serve Both DIY Customers and Professional Contractors
A strong paint retailer needs to cater for more than one type of customer.
A DIY homeowner may need straightforward advice about preparing and painting a wall. A professional contractor may be looking for technical information, coverage rates or a coating suitable for a particular substrate.
Dekro’s broad offering allows stockists to service both markets.
Ranges such as Painter’s Pal make specialised DIY projects more accessible, while Dekro’s industrial, marine and specialist coatings give professional customers access to solutions for more technical applications.
That balance can help hardware stores and paint shops broaden their customer base and capture a larger share of their local paint and coatings market.

Gain Access to Technical and Marketing Support
Becoming a reseller is about more than putting products on a shelf.
Dekro Paints supports its network through product knowledge, technical expertise, training resources and ongoing product information. This helps retailers understand what they are selling and, importantly, recommend the correct coating for each application.
Strong product knowledge can make a significant difference at store level. When customers receive useful advice and leave with the right solution, the retailer becomes a trusted resource rather than simply another place to buy paint.
Dekro’s established presence across South Africa, combined with exports into Africa, Australia, Europe and the Far East, also gives stockists the advantage of partnering with a recognised coatings manufacturer.
Become a Dekro Paints Stockist or Reseller
For hardware stores, paint shops and building supply businesses looking to expand their offering, becoming a Dekro Paints stockist provides access to a diverse range of locally manufactured paint and coating solutions.
From decorative paints and waterproofing products to industrial, marine, wood and metal coatings, the range gives retailers more opportunities to meet the needs of homeowners, contractors and professional customers.
With established quality standards, ongoing product development, environmentally conscious solutions and technical support behind the brand, Dekro offers retailers more than another paint range. It offers an opportunity to build a stronger coatings category within their business.
