Morris and McGinn was established in 1948 by Fred Morris and Douglas (Jock) McGinn. Fred and Jock met after the Second World War through the friendship between their wives Rene Morris and Eileen McGinn. Fred had secured a job as a Harris brush representative and found that his customers were struggling to acquire paint, as a large number of goods were in short supply after the war.

I've been recommended this place for years, but always thought it was a bit trade-y so use the big DIY store instead... Had a particular project I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for & ventured over. Friendly, knowledgeable staff, perfect advice & have some away with a product I know is suitable. There's only one place for my paint needs now!!

It's a blokey place although they are usually very helpful to my as a single woman. The prices are possibly a bit higher than Trago's but it is local and convenient.

We wanted some advice on what was best to coat our newly made oak dining table so we went to the Teignmouth branch. Got there just before close. Staff were unhelpful, didn't offer any advice and didn't seem interested. More interested in closing up shop. So we didn't buy anything in the end. Came over from Paignton too so we were disappointed as we had been recommended by them.
