If your bath is looking a little tired or outdated, repainting it is a great way to refresh your bathroom without the cost of a full renovation. With the right preparation and materials, you can achieve a professional finish that will stand up over time. Follow these step-by-step instructions to get started.
Safety tip: Always wear the appropriate safety equipment (safety glasses, gloves, ear muffs and a mask, for example) and always follow the instructions for the product or equipment.
Select a paint specifically designed for baths, as it’s formulated to withstand moisture and frequent use. Stir the paint well or mix it according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Pour a small amount into a paint tray.
Using a small paint brush, start by painting the corners and hard-to-reach areas. Then, switch to a foam roller to apply a thin, even coat of paint across the larger surfaces. Take your time to ensure even coverage. Allow the first coat to dry completely, following the drying times recommended by the paint manufacturer.
Asbestos, lead-based paints and copper chromium arsenic (CCA) treated timber are health hazards you need to look out for when renovating older homes. These substances can easily be disturbed when renovating and exposure to them can cause a range of life-threatening diseases and conditions including cancer. For information on the dangers of asbestos, lead-based paint and CCA treated timber and tips for dealing with these materials contact your local council's Environmental Health Officer or visit our Health & Safety page.
When following our advice in our D.I.Y. videos, make sure you use all equipment, including PPE, safely by following the manufacturer’s instructions. Check that the equipment is suitable for the task and that PPE fits properly. If you are unsure, hire an expert to do the job or talk to a Bunnings Team Member.
