FAQs

Is this paint suitable for high-humidity bathrooms?

Yes, Dulux Easycare Bathroom Paint is specifically formulated with mould and stain resistance to perform well in high-humidity bathroom environments.

How do I clean the painted surface?

You can clean the painted surface with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, a mild detergent can be used sparingly. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Can I use this paint on wooden surfaces?

This paint is designed for interior walls and ceilings. For wooden surfaces, a specific wood primer and paint would be more appropriate.

What is the drying time between coats?

Drying times can vary based on ventilation and temperature. Generally, allow at least 2-4 hours for recoating, but always refer to the product packaging for precise instructions.

Does this paint require a primer?

Priming is recommended for best results, especially on new plaster, previously painted surfaces with drastic color changes, or surfaces with stains. Check the product's specific instructions for priming recommendations.

How much area does one tin cover?

Coverage varies depending on the application and surface porosity. Typically, one litre covers approximately 10-12 square meters. Please check the product packaging for exact coverage details for the specific tin size.

Is cleanup easy with this paint?

Yes, as it is water-based, cleanup of brushes, rollers, and spills is straightforward with soap and water.

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the surface was properly prepared, clean, and dry before application. Lightly sand any glossy surfaces. Check if a primer was used if required.

Uneven finish or brush marks visible

Apply paint evenly with consistent brush strokes or roller pressure. Avoid overworking the paint. Ensure adequate paint is on the brush/roller.

Stains reappear after cleaning

Ensure thorough cleaning with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Allow the area to dry completely. If mould is a persistent issue, ensure adequate ventilation is addressed.

Paint peeling or flaking

This often indicates poor surface preparation or application over a damp surface. Remove the loose paint, prepare the surface thoroughly, and reapply following instructions.
