Kitchen & Bathroom Paint

Kitchen & Bathroom paint copes with high humidity and high-moisture areas in your home, like your kitchen and bathroom. It’s mould and moisture resistant and stands up to the unique environment in these rooms. Regular paint is fine for the rest of your home, but it won’t work as well in high humidity.

Yes, you can use Kitchen & Bathroom paint in a shower room or wet area. But regular direct contact with water will cause it to fade over time.

Yes, our Kitchen and Bathroom paint is mould resistant. It’s specially formulated to stand up to moisture, mould and mildew, making it the ideal choice for high humidity rooms in your home.

Valspar Kitchen & Bathroom paint is highly durable and this doesn’t change even in high-moisture areas. It’s the perfect paint to keep things looking fresh, even with increased moisture in the air.

No, Valspar Kitchen & Bathroom paint is specially formulated to deal with high-moisture rooms. So it won’t be affected by steam and heat. Once the surface dries, it will go back to the exact same finish.

It’s really up to you! Both Matt and Silk are just as durable and easy to clean. It all comes down to which you think will look best in your kitchen or bathroom. Matt reflects the least light, so it looks the flattest and is the best at hiding imperfections. Silk has a gentle shine, showcasing the natural texture of the wall and bounces light around a room.

Our Kitchen & Bathroom paint comes in Matt or Soft Sheen.

Yes, we recommend using a primer before you paint your kitchen or bathroom. This is especially important on newly plastered surfaces, and if you’re making a bold colour change.

Yes, you can. But it’s always super essential to prime the surface appropriately to ensure proper paint adhesion. Our Difficult Surfaces Primer is the way to go.

The first thing you must do is make sure the surface is clean, dry and there’s no dust or grease. We always recommend giving surfaces a sand before painting to remove old, loose or flaky paint. If any parts of the wall are damaged, these will need repairing. And if there’s any mould present, you’ll need to completely remove it. For more advice, see our guide on How to Prep Walls for Painting.

No! You must clean any mould before cleaning. We recommend using Ronseal 3 in 1 mould killer on your walls. But, and this is crucial, you need to identify the main cause of the mould before you put brush to wall. If you don’t, the mould will continue to grow.

Once you’ve dealt with the issue, prep the surface thoroughly before painting with Kitchen and Bathroom paint.

For optimum durability and colour depth, we recommend using two coats. And if you’re really changing things up and going for a dramatic colour change, you might need more.

Both! They each have different uses and will help you get the best finish in your space. The roller is ideal for painting large flat surfaces, while the brush is the best tool to cut in your colour. But what you use is up to you.

Yes! You can use Valspar Kitchen & Bathroom paint on ceilings as well as walls in your kitchen or bathroom.
