Best Anti-Fungal Paint For New Shower Room

Post by carder1 »

Having shower room refurbished in a few weeks time and the installers have asked that we supply our own bathroom paint. We don't mind doing this but would like to minimiser a fungal problem we have at the moment. All plasterboard is being replaced and without regard to cost, what would the experts recommend? Must be available in shades of grey.

I had thought of Ronseal AMP so emailed them earlier asking if I could add a coat of grey on top and got the following reply:

"Unfortunately we only do white in this product and you would not be able to add any colour to this product has it will stop it from working to its full potential."
So another solution is required. Any suggestions?

Quite agree.

We had an ongoing mildew problem in our bathroom, despite everything we did to prevent it. I used Perma White nearly three years ago and not a spot of mildew since then.

A decent extractor fan and good air flow under the door are essential too
