Paint FAQs

Yes, our paint is suitable for bathrooms. Our matt emulsion can be used if your bathroom is well ventilated, with the tougher qualities of our eggshell making it more suitable for more extreme conditions. You can find more information in our help with painting guide.

Paint should be kept in a dry, frost-free environment and out of direct sunlight. Make sure the lid is securely closed to prevent air spoiling the paint. Paint should be stored away from food and drink and out of reach from children.

If the surface you are painting is in good condition and properly prepared, you usually won’t need a primer or undercoat. However, if the surface is bare or unsound, you should carry out good preparation and apply the appropriate primer. We’ve put together some of our hints and tips in our help with painting guide.

single coat of matt emulsion or eggshell paint should cover around 10-12 square metres per litre. However, please be aware that there are a number of factors that affect paint coverage, namely the way in which the paint is applied and the porosity of the surface that is being painted.

We’d always recommend leaving a minimum of 4 hours between coats. If you need any help with your painting project, take a look at our help with painting guide.

In most cases, two coats would be needed. However, if you are painting a particularly porous surface or the colour change is dramatic, you may need to apply additional coats. Please see our guide on help with painting.
