Crown Easyclean Bathroom Paint - White

While formulated for bathrooms, its mould resistance, washability, and steam resistance make it suitable for other high-humidity areas like kitchens, provided the surface is properly prepared.

The paint is highly resistant to steam and condensation, making it ideal for bathroom walls and ceilings. However, for direct, constant water exposure *inside* a shower cubicle, a specialized tile paint or waterproof coating may offer superior long-term protection.

Surface dry time is typically 1-2 hours, with recoat time usually 4-6 hours. Full hardness and washability will be achieved after a few days. Always refer to the specific instructions on the paint can for precise drying times.

For most previously painted, sound surfaces, a primer is not strictly necessary. However, for bare wood, metal, or porous/unstable surfaces, an appropriate primer or undercoat is recommended for best adhesion and finish.

It is generally recommended to remove wallpaper before painting a bathroom. Wallpaper can trap moisture, and the paint's properties may not fully protect the wallpaper from moisture degradation over time. If removal is not an option, ensure wallpaper is firmly adhered and apply a suitable primer.

As a 'White' variant, it is formulated to be a clean, crisp white. However, perception of white can vary based on lighting and surrounding colours. It is generally a standard neutral white.

Mid Sheen offers a subtle, soft gloss level, typically between matt and full gloss. It's known for being durable, washable, and reflecting a small amount of light, making rooms feel brighter.

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned, dry, and free from grease or loose particles. Proper sanding and priming (if needed) are critical for adhesion.

While the paint resists mould growth on its film, ensure existing mould was fully removed and treated with a fungicidal wash *before* painting. Address underlying ventilation or persistent damp issues.

Apply paint evenly, avoiding overloading your brush or roller. Maintain a 'wet edge' and ensure consistent pressure. Allow sufficient drying time between coats and apply thinly.

Ensure the paint was thoroughly stirred before and during application. Apply a second coat after the first has fully dried. Over dark or contrasting surfaces, a third coat may be necessary.
