Assuming you mean 'outside' then any of the proprietary boat paints. By such as 'International', 'Hempel' etc. Any top coat (even B&Q gloss) will give you a waterproof finish.

Clodi Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 When you say 'in the bathroom' I take it you mean the interior walls & depending on what's there already any good quality bathroom pain will do the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johny London Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 Probably the main thing is to prepare the existing surface well, otherwise whatever you put on my not stay on - especially in a moist environment. My silk emulsion is lasting very well below the gunnels, though I haven't got it in the bathroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is in the bathroom. Hi Barry, Our DacMatt or DacSatin products would be a good choice for the bathroom. They are waterbased acrylic emulsions so can go over most existing surfaces, easy to apply, quick drying and available in a whole raft of colours. They are 'waterproof' but breathable meaning that any moisture currently on the wall is allowed to escape in the form of vapour. Best regards, Dacrylate.

Higgs Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 RUST-OLEUM produce a selection of paints that are very good on wood. Satin furniture paint. It can also be waxed, and they have a finishing wax. It isn't essential to use the wax. I've used it on bare wood around the kitchen area, and by the sink. It seems durable, even without the wax. Easy to use. From B&Q. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
