Kitchen and Bathroom Painters in Aberdeen
If you are looking for the most reliable Painters in Aberdeen, our specialist wet-room decorating is part of our core Interior Painting services. We strip back flaking paint and apply heavy-duty moisture-resistant coatings that survive the daily steam and condensation of busy family homes.
Beating Aberdeen's Coastal Damp
Aberdeen’s cold, coastal climate and thick granite walls are notorious for trapping moisture indoors. Poorly ventilated kitchens and bathrooms quickly develop black mould in the corners if cheap retail paint is slapped on the walls.
Traditional granite tenements retain cold exterior temperatures. When warm shower steam or cooking moisture hits uninsulated granite plaster, condensation forms instantly. Standard matt emulsion absorbs this water, creating an ideal breeding ground for black toxic mould. Our wet-room painters treat the root cause using biocidal washes and moisture-impermeable trade barrier primers.
Anti-Mould Trade Emulsions
We treat existing problem areas with fungicidal washes before applying premium Zinsser primers and anti-condensation paints, ensuring your walls will not peel or blister over the Scottish winter.
We specify trade-grade acrylic eggshell finishes like Zinsser Perma-White and Johnstone's Trade Acrylic Eggshell. Formulated with inorganic biocide technology, these paints hold a 5-year anti-mould guarantee and withstand repeated scrubbing with household cleaners without dulling the color finish.
Step-by-Step Kitchen & Bathroom Process
Biocidal Mould Treatment & Scraping
We apply active biocidal washes to eliminate black mold (Aspergillus) in wet corners, then scrape away old flaking latex paint clean down to plaster.
Dustless HEPA Sanding & Stain Primer
Plaster is machine-sanded with 99.8% dust extraction before coating with Zinsser Perma-White or Bulls Eye 1-2-3 stain-blocking primer.
Scrubbable Acrylic Eggshell Application
We roll out two heavy coats of trade acrylic eggshell containing active fungicides that resist steam condensation, grease splashes, and daily scrubbing.
Sanitary Silicone Caulking & Handover
Tile junctions, sills, and bath trim are sealed with fresh anti-mould sanitary silicone beads for a crisp, watertight finish.
Frequently Asked Wet-Room Painting Questions
How long must I wait to use the shower after painting?
While trade acrylic eggshell is dry to touch in 2 hours, we recommend waiting 24 hours before running high-steam showers to allow the anti-mould resin matrix to fully cross-link.
Can you paint over existing water stains on bathroom ceilings?
Yes! We coat dried water stains with Zinsser Cover Stain or BIN shellac primer to seal water-soluble tannins permanently before applying anti-mould topcoats.
