We know our paint, and what we don't know we can find out. So the short answer is we can use all paints and any colours as long as they suitable. The most popular brands of paint we are asked to use are Farrow and Ball, Little Greene, Zoffany, Sanderson, Benjamin Moore and Paint and Paper Library - over 1500 colours to choose from between them.

We can also paint any RAL Colour including metallic finishes.

We generally use a matt eggshell finish which is knock-resistant and washable and performs well in a domestic bathroom but if you have a particular requirement not mentioned here call or email us and we will help you get what you want.

Don't Rely on Computer Colours: The main issue when it comes to choosing a paint colour is to get an accurate idea of how the paint will look when its on your bath. The worst way of doing this is to just use the colour as shown on a computer screen as a guide. The way in which colours are specified for computing, whilst covering a very large number of different Red-Blue-Green combinations, cannot capture the richness of the wavelengths reflected by quality paints such as Farrow and Ball. In addition different computer screens will render colours quite differently.

Use a colour swatch or colour card instead: A far better way to start is with a colour swatch or colour card from the manufacturers. We keep Farrow and Ball swatches so ring us for one if you need one, or you can order one directly from the Farrow and Ball website. Likewise for other manufacturers. Typically a swatch or colour card will show you each colour accurately reproduced on an area about 1 or 2 sq.cm. be aware that when the colour is on a larger area whatever qualities it seems to have on a small area will be more impact-full. Light colours will look lighter. Deep, dark colours will look deeper and darker.

Get Sample Pots: So the next stage if you really want to work hard making your decision is to order sample pots of paint from the manufacturers, these can be bought directly from the manufacturer at low cost. Once you have your sample pot, paint a piece of card or paper of at least A4 size (the bigger the better), then look at it in your bathroom under the various lighting conditions that you will have in there. This will give you a really accurate understanding of what kind of experience your chosen colour will give you.

We generally paint using a matt eggshell finish. This is the same kind of finish you might use on skirting boards, window boards or interior doors so it is washable, knock-resistant and relatively hard-wearing. It will last in the same way and withstand similar usage to the same paint on your doors and skirting boards. So with care you can expect it to last 10 years or more.

If you get dirty marks on the surface of the paint use a soft damp cloth - a damp microfibre cloth is by far the best kind to use - be as gentle as you can be but you can be quite robust with it if you need to be and this will remove most marks.

If this happens ring us for advice on 0113 2360214, sometimes its possible to fix a scuff by careful use of a solvent such as t-cut, at other times the best way is to use a small atomiser to respray the affected area. If you need this we can usually send you a suitable atomiser pre-loaded with paint. But if you intend to use anything other than a damp cloth please speak to us first so we can give you the best advice.

In our experience damage requiring anything other than a damp cloth to remove a mark is almost unheard of.
