The walls are Multifinish Plaster
(over blue water resistant boards
(stuck over kingspan with firefoam))

Something that will stand up to splashes and steam better than emulsion..

thanks, George


the paints that cope with that better are gloss & eggshell.


About a year ago, "Smithski" posted what I found to be a valuable
advisory link about paint:

I've got a further question on paint in bathrooms (I was about to post
it when I saw this thread appear):

I'm renovating an old (60s) bathroom: I need to do the the minimum
amount of work (too many other commitments).

Currently the bathrooms is papered with vinyl wallpaper. Can I strip
this off, put up lining paper, and then paint that lining paper to
achieve "a classy, modern look"?

Cheers
John
