How to Paint your Kitchen or Bathroom
The first step to painting any room in your home is the preparation. Preparation can be done in advance if the room being painted is not in use. This will help you get a head start on the work. Although there seems to be a lot of work to prepare, if this is done correctly the actual painting of the room will be much easier and far more cost effective. Good preparation will not only save you time and money in the long run, but will also leave you with a professional looking finish.
If you are painting over a new surface it is extremely important to prime the walls first. This is particularly important on surfaces such as drywall, unpainted wood, oil paint or if you have mould stains. If the walls are already painted you should not need a primer, unless the previous paint was particularly glossy as this can be difficult for new paint to adhere to. Make sure that your paint is thoroughly stirred, as separation often occurs in storage and means that the solids may have settled at the bottom of the tin. Once your paint is stirred and ready to go, start by taking a brush and cutting in along the ceiling edges, windows, doors, skirting boards as well as any light and plug sockets. Cutting in simply means using a paintbrush for areas that are too small or tight for a roller.
With the cutting in and ceiling completed you can now start on the walls. Start by pouring some paint into the paint tray and loading your roller. Dampening the roller cover with a wet rag will help the paint to load. Without pressing the roller too hard against the wall, begin painting in a zig-zag or ‘W' pattern rather than straight up and down strokes, this will help to avoid leaving roller marks. To remove any runs or drips use a roller to lightly roll over the area again, still making sure not to press too hard. Depending on the paint, typically once the paint is touch dry you can then apply the second coat. Use the same painting strokes as you did for the first coat.
How to Paint your Bathroom
Bathrooms are regularly exposed to high humidity, so painting a bathroom may be slightly more difficult than painting your kitchen. As always preparation is needed prior to the process, the entire surface that you will be working with must be free and clear of any substances that could interfere with the adhesion of any materials. This can be done by either scraping or brushing everything away with a stiff bristle brush.
Should you come across any mould or other types of organic growth, thoroughly treat the area using a mould killer, ensuring that you follow all manufacturer's instructions. Once this has been done, allow the area to completely dry. If you come across any cracks or surface defects, take the time to fill them in with an appropriate filler according to the instructions laid out by the manufacturer. Afterwards, allow the filler to dry. Rub the areas down with an abrasive paper that is of a fine grade. Lastly, remove any excess dust.
After preparation it is then time to prime your wall, use one full coat of a primer of your choice over the entire surface of the wall. Remember to allow the primer to fully dry afterwards. When it comes to applying the paint use two full coats of either satin, matt, or semi-gloss interior wall paint on the entire surface. Between coats, allow for a minimum drying time of approximately two hours.

Choosing the Right Colour Palette
Colour plays a big part in how your space feels. Light tones help make smaller rooms feel more spacious, while richer shades like warm blues or soft pinks bring in a touch of style. For kitchens, softer neutrals add warmth and suit modern or traditional interiors. White is still a safe option for bathroom walls if you want a clean, bright finish that bounces light around the room.
Understanding Paint Finishes
Getting the finish right makes a huge difference. Use soft sheen or silk emulsion paint for kitchen and bathroom walls - they withstand moisture and are easy to clean. Matt works well on ceilings to help cover up any imperfections. Eggshell finishes offer a low sheen look while still being tough enough for high traffic areas.
Anti‑Mould & Anti‑Condensation Formulations
Some paints are specifically designed to deal with damp, with built-in protection against mould. Anti-condensation coatings are helpful on bathroom ceilings, where steam can quickly turn into water droplets and ruin standard finishes. These options keep your decorating project looking good for longer.
Technical Expertise Behind Our Paints
All paint sold by Promain goes through strict testing. Every product, from a simple satin finish to a specialist moisture sealer, is made to withstand daily use in kitchens and bathrooms. Our team ensures you're getting quality, low odour coatings that perform well, even in tough conditions.
Surface Preparation Best Practices
Good prep helps paint stick better and last longer:
-
Clean off grease from kitchen walls and doors.
-
Remove mould and fill cracks in bathrooms.
-
Prime bare plaster before painting.
-
Use the right tools to apply each coat evenly.
This ensures the best paint coverage and finish across your interior walls.
Step‑By‑Step Painting Guide
-
Stir the paint thoroughly.
-
Cut in edges around ceilings, corners, and trim.
-
Roll the main wall in sections using a "W" pattern.
-
Let the first coat dry before adding a second.
This gives an even finish and helps the surface stay covered longer - even with repeated cleaning.
When to Use Primer
Priming is essential on fresh plaster, timber or patched areas. It improves how the paint bonds to the surface, prevents patchy drying, and helps reduce issues with condensation and mould on bathroom walls or ceilings.
White Bathroom Paint – The Go‑To Colour
White is a classic colour for a reason - it reflects light, suits most fixtures, and helps the space feel spacious. Available in various finishes from matt to silk, it’s easy to clean and works well in areas exposed to steam.
Greige, Pastels & Popular Shades
If white feels too stark, try gentle greys, blush pinks or pastel blues. These colours are great in both kitchens and bathrooms. They add character without making the space feel small or dark, and they’re easy to match with modern fixtures.
DIY Painting vs. Professional Painting: Which is Right for You?
When it comes to painting your bathroom or kitchen, one of the biggest choices you’ll face is whether to take on the decorating project yourself or bring in a professional. DIY painting gives you the freedom to choose your favourite paint colours, experiment with different finishes like soft sheen, silk, or eggshell, and create a space that truly suits your style. With the right tools - such as quality brushes, rollers, and dust sheets - you can achieve a beautiful, professional finish that’s both durable and moisture resistant.
DIY painting is ideal if you enjoy hands-on projects and want to control every detail, from picking the best paint for your kitchen or bathroom to deciding on the perfect sheen. It’s also a cost-effective way to refresh your space, especially if you’re confident in your painting skills and have the time to dedicate to proper preparation and application.
On the other hand, hiring a professional painter can save you time and ensure a flawless result, especially in high-moisture areas where a smooth, even finish is essential. Professionals have experience with a wide range of paints and can recommend the best options for moisture resistance, coverage, and colour. They also have access to trade-quality paints and tools, which can make a noticeable difference in the final look and longevity of your walls and ceilings.
Ultimately, the right choice depends on your budget, schedule, and confidence with painting. Whether you go DIY or professional, using the best paint and the right tools will help you create a kitchen or bathroom that’s not only stylish but also protected against moisture and everyday wear.
Budget and Cost Considerations for Kitchen & Bathroom Paint Projects
Planning your kitchen or bathroom paint project starts with setting a realistic budget. The total cost will depend on several factors, including the type of paint you choose, the size of your space, and whether you decide to do the painting yourself or hire a professional. Investing in high-quality, moisture resistant paints - such as specially formulated bathroom paint or emulsion paint designed for kitchens - can make a big difference in both appearance and durability.
Premium options like Dulux Easycare may have a higher upfront cost, but they offer excellent coverage, a smooth finish, and long-lasting protection against stains, steam, and mould. This means fewer touch-ups and less frequent repainting, saving you money and effort in the long run. When budgeting, don’t forget to include the cost of the right tools - good brushes, rollers, and preparation materials are essential for achieving a professional finish and avoiding costly mistakes.
If you’re looking for the best paint within your budget, it’s worth comparing products from different brands and retailers, such as Wickes or B&Q, to find the right balance of quality and value. Even a fresh lick of paint can transform your bathroom or kitchen, but choosing the right paint and tools will ensure your decorating project stands the test of time.
By carefully planning your budget and selecting the best paint for your needs, you can create a beautiful, low-maintenance space that enhances your home and makes everyday cleaning easier. Whether you’re updating a small bathroom or giving your kitchen walls a complete makeover, investing in quality materials will help you achieve a finish you’ll love for years to come.
Cleaning & Maintenance Tips
Use a soft cloth and gentle detergent to wipe walls regularly. Kitchen paint and bathroom paint should be durable enough to handle stains from grease, steam or splashes. Regular cleaning prevents damage and helps keep the surface looking smooth.
How Often to Re‑Paint
Kitchens and bathrooms should be repainted every 5 to 7 years. If you see signs of mould, fading, or peeling, it’s time to freshen up. Using specially formulated paints like those from Promain helps reduce how often you’ll need to repaint.
Why Invest in Quality Paint?
Good quality paint pays off long-term. It’s easier to apply, covers better, and is made to suit damp, steamy areas. Promain paints are suitable for both residential and commercial decorating projects, and made to resist stains, mould and moisture.
Environmental & Health Considerations
Promain stocks paints with low odour and low VOCs, which is safer for your household - especially in places where you cook or bathe. These options also suit those with allergies or chemical sensitivities.
Comparing Vinyl Silk vs. Other Emulsions
Vinyl silk has a slight gloss finish and is more washable than standard matt or soft sheen emulsions. It works well in bathrooms and kitchens, where frequent cleaning is needed. It keeps its finish even after regular wiping.
How to Choose Between Satin & Semi‑Gloss
Use satin paint on walls for a balanced look - it has just enough sheen without being too shiny. Semi-gloss suits doors, trims or cabinets that see regular use. Both finishes are moisture resistant and ideal for high traffic areas.
