Bathroom Painting Services
Moisture-Resistant Coatings
Standard emulsion in a bathroom will peel within a year. Above showers and baths, it peels faster. We use moisture-resistant and mould-inhibiting finishes on every bathroom job, not an optional upgrade.
The primer stage matters as much as the finish coat. We apply a specialist primer before any topcoat goes on. This seals the surface and gives the finish coat something solid to bond to.
Ceiling and Wall Painting
Bathroom ceilings collect steam every day. A ceiling painted with standard matt emulsion will show mould patches within months in a bathroom without strong extraction.
We use specialist bathroom ceiling paint and advise on ventilation improvements at the site visit. In Hurst period properties where bathrooms sit under roof slopes, we assess any existing damp patches before work starts.
Tile Painting
Older ceramic tiles in good condition can be repainted rather than replaced. This is a practical option for properties around Denmark Street where the tile layout is intact but the colour feels dated.
We clean and degrease thoroughly, apply a specialist tile primer, and finish with a two-part tile paint. The result is durable and far cheaper than a full retile.
Bathroom Refresh Before Sale
A tired bathroom puts buyers off quickly. A clean, freshly painted bathroom in a neutral colour reads as well-maintained. We regularly prepare bathrooms ahead of sale or letting.
The job usually takes one to two days. We work around the room schedule to minimise disruption. For a full home repaint including bathrooms, see our interior painting page.
Here’s How It Works
1. Site visit and assessment
We check the existing surface condition, note any mould, inspect the extraction, and identify any areas of damp or previous paint failure. Prep requirements are agreed at this stage.
2. Surface preparation
Existing mould is treated before any painting starts. Flaking paint is removed and the surface is sanded back. Cracks and gaps around bath and basin are addressed. Surfaces are cleaned and dried fully.
3. Priming
A moisture-resistant primer goes on walls and ceiling. Bare timber gets a wood primer. Tile surfaces get a specialist adhesion primer. No shortcuts at this stage.
4. Paint application
Bathroom emulsion on walls and ceiling. Satin or gloss for woodwork. Each coat gets full drying time before the next is applied. Bathroom paint needs longer between coats than standard emulsion.
5. Final check
We inspect all surfaces before leaving. Brushlines, coverage gaps, and any runs are touched up. We advise on how long to wait before using the shower or bath.

Bathroom Painting Costs in Wokingham
Prices below are estimates only. Every bathroom is different. Call 0118 207 2600 for a precise quote.
Cost Overview
A standard bathroom repaint typically costs between £380 and £650, including preparation, priming, and two finish coats.
Cost Overview
Three things drive the price:
What Affects the Price
- Surface condition. Significant mould, peeling paint, or damaged plaster adds preparation time. Addressing it properly is what makes the finish last.
- Room size. A compact en-suite in a Denmark Street Victorian terrace takes less time than a full family bathroom in a Hurst period property with high ceilings.
- Scope. Walls only cost less than walls plus ceiling plus woodwork. Tile painting adds cost but is significantly cheaper than retiling.
Typical Ranges
Typical ranges:
