Painting the kitchen and bathroom: keys to a lasting finish
Why kitchens and bathrooms are special
The kitchen and bathroom are the rooms with the highest levels of moisture, steam and water splashes in any home. Standard paint in these areas deteriorates quickly — damp patches, mould and peeling appear within a short time. At RS Pintura we select products specifically formulated to withstand these demanding conditions and guarantee durability for homes in Villanueva del Pardillo and Madrid.
Moisture-resistant paints
For bathrooms and kitchens we recommend high-resistance plastic paints with anti-fungal and anti-mould properties. These formulations create a protective film that repels moisture and prevents the appearance of dark stains on joints and corners. A satin or semi-gloss finish also makes day-to-day cleaning with standard products much easier.
Surface preparation in wet areas
Before painting in these rooms it is essential to remove any existing mould with fungicidal products and allow the surface to dry completely. If there are deteriorated tiles or areas with structural damp, these must be treated prior to painting. RS Pintura always carries out a prior assessment of the surface condition to ensure the final result will last.
Colours that work in kitchens and bathrooms
Light, neutral tones visually enlarge these typically compact spaces. White, light grey, mint green and pale blue are timeless classics. If you want something bolder, a dark accent wall can add real personality without overwhelming the space. Ask us and we will help you choose.
