Bathroom Paint

Bathroom paint is specifically formulated to withstand the unique challenges of high-humidity environments. At Hyperion Tiles, we understand that bathrooms require more than just aesthetic appeal—they need functional finishes that perform well under constant exposure to moisture and temperature fluctuations. Unlike standard interior paint, bathroom paint contains moisture-resistant properties and often includes mildewcide additives to help prevent mould and mildew growth. It also tends to have a more durable, washable surface that won’t peel, blister, or discolour when exposed to steam or splashes. Many of our premium bathroom paints also offer a subtle sheen, such as satin or eggshell, which not only enhances the room’s visual depth but also makes the surface easier to wipe clean. Choosing bathroom-specific paint ensures a long-lasting, attractive finish that can stand up to daily use, preserving the appearance and hygiene of your space for years to come.

Yes, you can use bathroom paint on ceilings and woodwork, and at Hyperion Tiles we often recommend doing so for a cohesive and practical finish. Ceilings in bathrooms are just as exposed to steam and moisture as the walls, so using a moisture-resistant paint ensures better durability and helps prevent mould or staining over time. Similarly, for woodwork such as skirting boards, window frames, and architraves, a bathroom-rated paint with a satin or semi-gloss finish is ideal. These finishes are not only more water-resistant but also easier to wipe clean—especially important in a room with regular humidity and condensation. Using a unified paint system designed for bathroom conditions provides consistent performance across all surfaces. We offer a range of bathroom-suitable paints in complementary finishes, so you can maintain visual harmony while ensuring each element of your space is protected against wear and moisture.

Proper preparation is essential for achieving a long-lasting and professional bathroom paint finish. At Hyperion Tiles, we advise starting with a clean, dry surface. First, wash the walls with a mild sugar soap solution to remove any dirt, soap residue, or grease. This helps the paint adhere more effectively. Next, check for any signs of mould or mildew—treat these with a specialist anti-fungal cleaner before proceeding. Any holes or cracks should be filled with a suitable filler and sanded smooth. If your bathroom has previously been painted with a gloss or satin finish, gently sand the surface to create a key for the new paint. Applying a suitable primer, particularly on bare plaster or previously unpainted surfaces, is essential for sealing and preparing the wall. Once dry, you can begin applying your bathroom paint, typically in two coats for a rich and durable finish. Proper prep ensures your walls look perfect and stay protected.

When choosing a finish for bathroom paint, it’s important to consider both appearance and performance. At Hyperion Tiles, we typically recommend satin or eggshell finishes for most bathroom walls. These finishes offer a gentle sheen that reflects light subtly, brightening the space without looking overly glossy. More importantly, satin and eggshell paints are moisture-resistant and easy to clean—essential qualities in a bathroom environment. Gloss finishes offer the highest sheen and are incredibly durable, making them ideal for woodwork or areas subject to heavy use, although they can sometimes highlight imperfections on walls. Matt finishes, while stylish, are generally less suitable for bathrooms unless specifically designed with moisture-resistant properties, as they can absorb moisture and become marked over time. We supply a curated range of bathroom-specific paints in various finishes, allowing you to strike the perfect balance between visual appeal and practical functionality based on your preferences and bathroom layout.
