Painting
Best Paint for Bathrooms
Bathrooms need paint that can cope with moisture, steam, and regular cleaning. Choosing the right type of paint helps prevent peeling, staining, and mould problems while keeping the room looking fresh for longer.
Section 1
Why bathroom paint matters
Bathrooms create far more humidity than most other rooms in the house. Standard paint can struggle in these conditions, especially if the room is poorly ventilated. Using a more durable, moisture-resistant product usually gives a longer-lasting and cleaner finish.
Section 2
Best finishes for bathrooms
Paints with a slight sheen are often a better choice for bathrooms because they are easier to wipe down and generally perform better in damp conditions. Specialist bathroom paints are designed to resist moisture and staining more effectively than standard flat matt finishes.
Section 3
Preparation before painting
Any flaking paint should be removed, mould should be treated properly, and surfaces should be cleaned thoroughly before repainting. Cracks or damaged areas should be filled and sanded. Good preparation is what makes the new finish last well.
Section 4
When to get professional help
If the room has ongoing condensation problems, damaged plaster, or previous paint failure, it is often best to fix the underlying issue before repainting. A decorator can assess the surface condition and recommend the right system for a more durable result.
