Whitehouse Guide to the Best Paint for Bathrooms
- Mould-resistant bathroom paints — Contain biocides to prevent black mould; ideal for steamy UK bathrooms.
- High-sheen finishes (eggshell/satin) — Repel water and wipe clean easily—Whitehouse's top recommendation.
- Low-VOC & moisture-blocking formulas — Reduce condensation issues and improve indoor air quality.
- Primer + topcoat system — Essential for tiled areas or previously painted surfaces to ensure adhesion.
- Colour choices — Light, reflective shades (whites, soft blues/greens) make small bathrooms feel larger.
Popular Bathroom Paint Trends & Recommendations
2026 sees demand for calming spa tones (pale greys, seafoam, warm neutrals) and matte or soft-sheen finishes that hide minor imperfections. Whitehouse recommends trusted ranges from Dulux Bathroom+ and Crown Bathroom —proven performers in UK conditions.
Mistakes to Avoid When Painting Bathrooms
Using standard emulsion causes bubbling/peeling; skipping primer leads to poor adhesion; painting over mould guarantees failure. Whitehouse prevents these with expert prep and the right products every time.
