Best Paint for Bathrooms UK (No More Mould)
Selecting the best paint for bathrooms UK Whitehouse recommends eliminates mould, peeling and bubbling in steamy, humid conditions. At Whitehouse Painting & Decorating, we help Northamptonshire homeowners achieve fresh, hygienic bathrooms with specialist paints designed to resist moisture and black mould growth.
Bathrooms face constant humidity, condensation and temperature changes. Ordinary emulsion fails quickly. Whitehouse uses proven bathroom-specific paints that create a protective barrier and stay looking good for years.
Why Specialist Bathroom Paint is Essential in the UK
UK bathrooms suffer from poor ventilation and high humidity—leading to mould, flaking and discolouration. Whitehouse recommends paints with built-in biocides, moisture blockers and wipeable surfaces to keep walls hygienic and attractive.
We also ensure proper prep (mould treatment, anti-fungal primer) so the finish performs long-term.
Whitehouse Top Picks: Best Paint for Bathrooms UK
- Bathroom-specific paints — Contain mould inhibitors and extra water resistance (e.g. Dulux Bathroom+, Crown Bathroom).
- Eggshell or satin finishes — Wipeable, repel water, resist steam—ideal sheen level for bathrooms.
- Anti-condensation formulas — Reduce surface moisture buildup and prevent black mould spots.
- Low-VOC & quick-drying options — Healthier during application, less odour, faster return to use.
- High-opacity & stain-resistant — Cover previous marks and handle splashes easily.
Whitehouse Bathroom Painting Tips
Always treat mould first; use anti-fungal primer; choose light, reflective colours for small bathrooms; improve ventilation with fans or open windows during drying. Whitehouse offers free consultations to match your style and solve specific issues.
Common Mistakes When Choosing Bathroom Paint
Using standard emulsion leads to bubbling/peeling; skipping prep allows mould return; choosing very matte finishes shows water marks. Whitehouse prevents these with specialist products and thorough preparation.
