DIY Tips & How To Expert Advice & Painting Ideas

Peeling paint, mould stains, and stubborn grease marks are common issues in kitchens and bathrooms. These rooms face constant exposure to humidity, steam, and frequent cleaning, making standard interior paints unsuitable. Without the right paint, walls can deteriorate quickly, requiring frequent repainting and ongoing maintenance.

Haymes understands the unique challenges of painting in high-moisture environments. That’s why Haymes Paint Kitchen & Bathroom is specifically formulated for durability and easy cleaning, providing a professional-quality finish that lasts.

Why Standard Paint Won’t Work in Kitchens & Bathrooms

Not all paints can handle the rigours of kitchen and bathroom conditions. Using the wrong paint can lead to costly and time-consuming issues.

  • Moisture and Humidity Damage: Bathrooms can reach high humidity levels after a shower. Standard paints absorb moisture, causing bubbling, peeling, and cracking.
  • Mould and Mildew Growth: Damp conditions encourage mould and mildew, which not only looks unsightly but can also affect indoor air quality.
  • Frequent Cleaning and Stains: Kitchen walls are exposed to grease, heat, and food splashes. Standard paints may absorb stains, making them difficult to clean.
  • Higher Maintenance Costs: Paint that isn’t designed for these conditions requires more frequent repainting, increasing long-term costs.

Best Protection for Kitchens and Bathrooms

Haymes Paint Kitchen & Bathroom is engineered to withstand the toughest conditions while delivering a premium finish.

  • Mould and Mildew Protection: Antibacterial additives help stop mould from forming, ensuring a healthier indoor environment.
  • Easy-to-Clean Finish: Stain-resistant and washable, ideal for areas that require regular scrubbing.
  • Low Odour and Low VOC: Safer for enclosed spaces and better for indoor air quality.
  • Durability & Longevity: Specifically designed to withstand daily exposure to steam, water, and frequent cleaning.

Step-by-Step Guide to a Perfect Finish

Achieving a flawless, long-lasting result starts with proper preparation and application.

  1. Prepare the Surface
  • Remove grease, soap scum, or dust for a clean, smooth base.
  • Repair cracks and holes with Haymes Paint Unifill.
  • Lightly sand glossy or previously painted surfaces to improve adhesion.
  1. Use a Primer (If Necessary)
  • Some surfaces, like bare plaster or previously glossy coatings, may require a primer (such as Ultra Premium Ultraseal®) to enhance durability.
  1. Apply Three Coats for Best Coverage
  • Use a high-quality brush or roller for even application.
  • Allow the first coat to dry completely before applying the second.
  1. Allow Proper Drying Time
  • Kitchen & Bathroom is touch-dry in 20 minutes and ready for a re-coat in 2 hours.
  • Avoid moisture exposure until the paint has fully cured.
  1. Maintain Your Finish
  • Wipe walls with a damp cloth to remove dust and residue.
  • Use mild detergents and a soft cloth to remove stains without damaging the finish.

Get The Perfect Finish for Your Kitchen or Bathroom

Choosing the right finish and colour enhances both style and functionality.

  • Best Colours for Kitchens:
  • Warm neutrals & soft whites create a bright, inviting atmosphere.
  • Bold feature walls add personality and energy.
  • Best Colours for Bathrooms:
  • Soft greys, blues, and greens provide a calming, spa-like feel.
  • Neutral tones offer a timeless, modern look.
