Ask your QuestionHello, I am planning on repainting some bathroom walls, but I’m unsure which paint is the best choice. Dulux Trade Diamond Matt or Dulux Bathroom Paint or something entirely different? Any advice on this or even for the choice of primers or sealants would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Lou

Answered on 1st Jul 2020 - Member since Jun 2020 - report"Hi Lou, In short, trade paints are better than the retail equivalents. So, generally, the Dulux Diamond Matt would probably be the better option. Retail versions typically have a cheaper/weaker pigment. Trade versions will cost more, but they will cost more. Given that this is a bathroom however, you are best to use a bathroom specific paint.
From what I have found, Trade Diamond Matt seems to be fine for bathroom use also. It is always checking this for yourself to ensure any paints you use in a bathroom in future are meant to be used in bathrooms – to ensure that they will not be damaged by humidity or dampness over time."
"Trade diamond is very hard wearing & a fantastic product I would advise using it"
Answered on 15th Apr 2019 - Member since Mar 2019 - report"Out of the two I would choose Dulux bathroom/Kitchen, there are a few tips to adding a product to a different paint, but those are experience learnt secrets. Primer = any as its the bathroom paint that does the protection. I hope that helps.

"Bathroom paint is probably better. It’s also designed to deal with the different temperature that a bathroom has ie steam, cold and hot water"
