The project in detail
Bathrooms require a genuinely specialist approach to paint specification. Get it wrong and you'll be dealing with peeling ceilings and mould within a couple of years. Get it right and the finish looks immaculate and holds up. The ceiling was finished in Zinsser Trade Perma-White Matt, our consistent recommendation for bathroom ceilings, and one we feel strongly about. It forms a proper moisture barrier, inhibits mould growth, and delivers the clean matt appearance of a quality emulsion rather than the slightly institutional look of silk or eggshell. The walls were finished in Johnstones Acrylic Durable Matt Emulsion, tinted to the customer's specification, a practical, durable choice designed specifically for high-humidity environments, providing a cleanable, quality surface that handles the inevitable splashes and steam of daily use. All woodwork was finished in Johnstones Trade Aquaguard Satin, a water-based, moisture-resistant product well suited to bathroom doors, frames, and architraves where durability matters as much as appearance. A properly specified bathroom paint job, done right.
