Ronseal One Coat Damp Seal is a professional-grade, quick-drying interior sealer that permanently blocks damp patches and stains on walls and ceilings. This single-coat solution penetrates affected areas, forming a breathable barrier that prevents moisture from bleeding through and damaging new paint or wallpaper. Its matt, white finish ensures excellent coverage and a smooth appearance, while the low-odour formula allows safe indoor use.

Unlike traditional primers or fillers, One Coat Damp Seal can be applied directly to damp areas without extensive surface preparation, saving time and effort on DIY or professional projects. Touch-dry in just 1–2 hours, it is ready to paint or wallpaper over after 4 hours, enabling rapid turnaround for repairs.

Key Features & Benefits:

  • Fast and efficient: Covers damp patches in one coat, reducing project time.

  • Direct application: Can be applied straight onto damp surfaces without priming.

  • Quick overcoat: Touch-dry in 1–2 hours, ready to paint in 4 hours.

  • Durable protection: Blocks damp stains and prevents them from reappearing.

  • Matt finish: Smooth, non-glossy surface ideal for interior walls and ceilings.

  • Safe indoor use: Low-odour, suitable for DIY and professional environments.

  • Versatile: Works on walls, ceilings, plaster, previously painted surfaces, and minor damaged areas.

  • Economical: Single coat covers up to 5 m² per litre, minimizing product usage.

Ideal Uses:

  • Interior walls with damp or water stains

  • Ceilings affected by condensation or water ingress.

  • Patches behind leaks or roof drips

  • Prepping problem areas for repainting or wallpapering

  • Covering minor surface chalking or flaking paint

Sizes & Coverage:

  • Pack Size: 2.5 L

  • Coverage: Up to 5 m² per litre, depending on surface porosity and condition

Surface Preparation

  • Clean the area: Use a scraper, brush, or sandpaper to remove dust, dirt, loose paint, wallpaper, or flaking surfaces.
  • Mould treatment: If needed, apply a mould remover to affected surfaces, then wipe clean with a damp cloth or white spirit.
  • Ventilation: Open windows and doors to ensure good airflow during application.
  • Check moisture: Ensure the surface is damp but not dripping wet before applying the seal.

Mixing

  • Stir thoroughly: Mix the product well using a brush or stir stick to ensure uniform consistency.
  • Ready to use: No thinning is required; the product is ready for direct application.

Application

  • Apply evenly: A brush or roller should coat the damp area thoroughly. Coverage should extend at least 30 cm around the affected area for minor patches to prevent damp creeping.
  • Single coat: One coat is sufficient for most damp patches. Ensure the layer is even without excessive pooling.
  • Edges and corners: Use a brush for edges, corners, or irregular surfaces to ensure complete coverage.

Drying & Recoating

  • Touch dry: Approximately 1–2 hours at 18 °C.
  • Overcoat: Paint or wallpaper can be applied after 4 hours once the sealer has dried.
  • Curing: Provides full stain-blocking and protection once fully covered with a topcoat.

Aftercare

  • Topcoat: Always cover the sealed area with your chosen paint or wallpaper for a finished look.
  • Cleaning tools: Brushes and rollers can be cleaned with white spirit immediately after use.

Maintenance: The sealed surface provides long-term protection against damp staining when the source of moisture is addressed.

Suitable for all interior walls and ceilings affected by damp stains, including plaster, painted surfaces, and wallpapered areas (once loose material is removed).

Can it be applied to wet walls?
Yes, it can be applied directly to damp (not dripping wet) surfaces, so you don’t need to wait for full drying.
How many coats are required?

How long before I can paint over it?
Touch-dry in 1–2 hours and ready for paint or wallpaper after 4 hours. Allow longer in cold or humid conditions.
What is the coverage per litre?
Approximately 5 m² per litre, depending on wall porosity. Highly absorbent surfaces may require more product.
Is it safe to use on mouldy areas?
