Rabart Decorating Centre, formerly W.J. Gardner, is a long-established Cardiff decorating shop where reviewers repeatedly praise staff including Rob, Liam, Bethan and Neil for patient, knowledgeable advice on paint and wallpaper. Customers describe colour-matching and paint-mixing across budget and premium brands, side-by-side comparison of paints, wallpapers and curtain fabrics, and staff happy to talk through silk versus satin finishes with first-time decorators. Several reviewers mention Neil taking on decorating work directly for customers, and free next-day delivery even on small orders. Recurring praise centres on friendly, unhurried service, though one reviewer describes visiting a quiet shop and feeling ignored by staff who were absorbed in their own conversation, a clear outlier against the otherwise consistently attentive feedback. As a paint and wallpaper shop in Cardiff, Rabart Decorating Centre holds a 4.6-star average from 125 Google reviews.

4.6 / 5 · 125 totalThe staff were really very helpful as I worked through the paint options and pricing. If you want to discuss which product week be right for such job then the staff are great.
Always great service here, would highly recommend.. Rob very knowledgeable and the team have always been great
Very knowledgeable about their products and couldn’t do enough to help me. Even mixing colours to coordinate with my wallpaper choice.
First class service and professional from start to finish. Fairly priced, always on time, excellent communication and exemplorary finish.Thank you Neil we will be using for the inside in the near future.
It's always a pleasure to use this shop. Quality materials but above all, serious good advice. Any decoration decision is better if you talk to the staff here about choices.
If I could give this shop 10 stars I would! Simply the best place to go ! The team here are always helpful, extremely friendly and knowledgeable. As a first time buyer it can be very difficult to know what paint to buy and how to pick the best colour ! But Liam, Bethan and the rest of the team have taken so much time over the last year and half to help with picking out the best paint and the best tools ! I always recommend this shop to everyone I know and if I’m being really honest, I would be completely lost without it! More paint purchased this week and I’m so excited to finish decorating my house. Thank you so much guys!
We have a composite front door that needed a new coat of paint. We were given good advice, and as we had the RAL number they made up a product that worked very well and also matched our garage door.
