Paint your shower base with Dulux

A bathroom with shower and base coloured blue

Overview

A fresh new look to your shower base, without the need for a complete overhaul, in just three simple steps with Dulux Renovation Range.

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. 

Steps

1Prepare the surface

  • Remove all silicone with Selleys Silicone Remover. Next, clean the area with a scouring pad.
  • Remove all grease and dirt with Selleys sugar soap.
  • Tape any edges and surfaces that you don’t want painted. 

2Apply Dulux Renovation Range Primer

  • Ensure the surface is dry.  
  • Cut-in using a sash brush around the edges. 
  • Apply one coat of Dulux® Renovation Range Primer with a microfibre roller – 4mm nap, 100mm wide.
  • Allow to dry for at least eight hours.

3Apply Dulux Renovation Range Top Coat

  • Add all of the additive, found underneath the lid, to the Dulux® Renovation Range Floors topcoat (featured colour: Dulux Vivid White™).
  • Stir well using a lifting motion for 2–5 minutes.
  • Cut-in using a sash brush around the edges. 
  • Coat the surface using a 4mm nap, 100mm wide microfibre roller.
  • Apply at least two coats, allowing at least eight hours before re-coating. 

4Keep in mind

  • Ensure safety and application directions are followed as per the product labels.
  • Return to light use after two days (including running water and foot traffic). General use after seven days (with normal exposure to water, soap, and foot traffic).

Health & Safety

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.
