Bathroom paint advice please

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

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

yes. Obviously getting it reskimmed nets a truer surface, but that will work

I hope it well venitaled and/or insulated - cold simngle brick outer
walls are a magnet for condensation.

My walls are all painted where they arent tiled with farrow and ball
matt emulsion.

Its fine.

Yes. But I certainly wouldn't. Condensation on walls frequently plus water-based adhesive are not a wise combination.

achieve "a classy, modern look"?

You tell us, does your 1960s bathroom look classy & modern? (I suspect not.)

I didn't know you could tile with Farrow and Ball matt emulsioin.
Do Dulux do a similar thing?

Yeah, but if you don't keep the roller perfectly straight, you get wonky
grout lines ...

Absolutely, it's full of commas.

John,
I would strip the old vinyl wall paper, it and the glue could feed mould.

Use some Joint Filler or easi fill type of soft plaster to fix the dinks in the old plaster, its soft enough for sanding unike thistle multifinish.

Then paint on top.

But I dont want the paint peeling off with all the moisture, so maybe an expensive primer on the raw plaster?


But i'm not an expert on this, that's why im asking
