Bathroom Painting

Bathrooms present a couple of challenges that make them trickier to paint compared to other rooms in your house: Why?

Lots of fixtures and tight spaces: Unlike a living room with big, open walls, bathrooms are crammed with fixtures like toilets, sinks, and vanities. These things create tight spaces that are difficult to roll or brush around without getting paint on the fixtures themselves.

Moisture and ventilation: Bathrooms are naturally humid environments, and all that moisture can interfere with paint adhesion. You'll need to choose a special paint formulated for bathrooms that can withstand moisture and mildew growth.

More prep work: Because of the fixtures and tight spaces, painting a bathroom requires a lot more prep work. You'll likely need to remove some fixtures, meticulously mask around others, and thoroughly clean the walls to remove any soap scum or residue that might prevent the paint from sticking.

And this is what Jcb Painting does. We paint a lot of bathrooms!

Mold Removal and Painting

 I can't say this enough. Use the bathroom exhaust fan. Let it run for at least 15 minutes after taking a hot steamy shower or bath. If the fan is old, replace it. It's a lot less money to spend than a complete restoration painting job. Mold remediation adds to the cost of painting a bathroom significantly such as this one. And it can be unhealthy.

This is what happens in your bathroom when you take long hot steamy showers and don't use the ceiling fan. Or you have a ceiling fan that is inadequate to do the job. 

Jcb Painting sees a lot of bathrooms like this. Our plan of attack will be to bleach all the moldy areas, (pretty much the whole bathroom here.) scrape away loose peeling paint, and clean up. 

Caulk around the tub enclosure, 

prime the walls and ceiling with a stain-killing oil-based bonding primer, then

paint the ceiling with white ceiling paint. 

Patch, fix and sand the walls.

and paint with 2 coats of the customer's color choice. Done.

Bath Fitters using clear pure silicone caulking.

 

This is what to expect from a Bath Fitter bathroom renovation. They use a pure clear silicone caulk all around that starts to deteriorate in just a few years. It looks good at first. 

As a professional interior painter who paints a lot of bathrooms, I have come across this scenario many times over the years.

When Bath Fitters first apply the pure silicone caulk it looks fine but after a few years, this is what it looks like. Always!

When I have to paint a Bath Fitter bathroom I charge much more because of this. Pure silicone caulk should never be used where there will be paint. PAINT DOES NOT STICK TO IT. "Dap" makes a paintable silicone caulk but Bath Fitters has not heard of it. Unfortunately for the homeowner who has to live with the results and pay more later to have their bathroom repainted

Before painting a Bath Fitter bathroom all the pure silicone caulking has to be removed and re-caulked with paintable caulk. 

Re-moving deteriorating pure silicone caulk is a nightmare. It only comes off in small rubbery pieces. Then when you think you got it all removed and you start painting you find that there is still some leftover that you couldn't see because it is PURE SILICONE CAULKING. Thank-you Bath Fitters. For Nothing!

This is what the homeowners have to look at whenever they sit on the toilet.

Deteriorating pure clear silicone caulking. Nice job Bath Fitters!

bathroom painting in Walpole, MA.

Yes, a lighter wall color in a small room such as this bathroom looks much better than a dark color that makes the room look and feel smaller than it already is, as it was before adding this new color called "calming cream" by Benjamin Moore. After more than 30 years in the paint biz, Jcb Painting has a good idea what colors work best because of extensive experience.

Jcb Painting will be painting this bathroom and the rest of this 3 bedroom condo in Walpole MA. This bathroom is very small and to paint it with a dark color just makes it look even smaller. We will be repainting it with a light cream color from Benjamin Moore Paints. Stay tuned.

Interior house painting in Foxborough, MA,

After images from my last bathroom paint job in Foxborough, MA. What usually takes 2 days to do, painting from baseboard to ceiling, took 4 days because this bathroom was in poor shape. A big contributor of the mold and paint failure was not using the ceiling fan. 
The wall color is "la paloma gray" by Benjamin Moore.

Jcb Painting caulked all around the shower enclosure to keep
moisture from seeping under the paint and causing a paint failure after using the shower.

The medicine cabinet will be replaced at a later date.

The bottom line here is always use your ceiling fan to exhaust the moisture
in the air after using the shower. Keep it on for at least 15 minutes.

Bathroom prepping before painting.

This is what happens when your bathroom isn't properly prepped and painted. Priming and caulking would have prevented this and saved the homeowner money when they hired Jcb Painting to fix it. 
The original paint job had a really bad caulking job around the vanity and along the baseboard which Jcb Painting had to completely remove and redo. Where the other painter should have absolutely caulked was around the shower enclosure as you can see from the images. 
This bathroom will be finished next Tuesday. Stay tuned.

We see this type of bathroom paint failure quite often. We will be doing mold remediation also.

This is what happens when you don't use the ceiling exhaust fan in
your bathroom. You get mold. And it just keeps getting worse.
Then when it has to be painted you have to pay more money
and time to get the job done, even if you do it yourself.

Jcb Painting works on a lot of Bathrooms and very often
when we come to look at the paint job, mold is an issue because
the exhaust ceiling fan is hardly used or not at all. Before using the shower the ceiling fan should be turned on and kept on for at least 15 minutes after to exhaust the moisture from the air. So the lesson here is, use your bathroom fan. It's there for a purpose.
