5 Tips For Properly Painting Your Bathroom in Rolling Hill, CA

When you’re looking at painting your bathroom, it’s entirely possible that you are not going to do as good of a job in painting as you would if you came to the project better prepared.

The thing about being so well prepared is that it’s not about only having the right kind of equipment and paint, though that certainly is going to be helpful in the course of your painting project.

Let’s now look at and consider five tips for properly painting your bathroom in Rolling Hill, CA.

1. Removing The Toilet Tank

One thing that you should pretty much do every time you look at painting your bathroom is to remove the toilet tank.

The reason that this is a good idea is that you’re going to have a pretty much tight enough space as it is when you’re painting your bathroom, but when you take into consideration the size of a typical toilet tank, it’s that much more difficult.

The other problem with a typical toilet tank is that it’s usually quite difficult to paint behind it so it makes sense to remove it if it’s at all positive — but if it’s not, you will have to find a way to paint behind it.

2. Properly Considering Color(s)

When you’re painting your bathroom, it’s an important thing to consider the color or colors that you’re going to be using to paint it.

You need to have a good look around the bathroom and think about the colors that are already in the bathroom — what colors the cabinets are, for example, as well as what colors you have with regards to the ceiling.

Once you have determined which colors are going to be good for your bathroom, it’s entirely possible that you will have landed on the right one or ones — but best to take a few small samples and test them out on your wall and see how they look.

The benefit of this is that you’ll be able to see how it looks in a number of different lighting conditions.

3. Taking Time To Remove Mold

In the process of painting your bathroom walls, you’re going to have to make sure that the surfaces are fully clean and this, in particular, means that you have to remove the mold that you might find.

There are some that might suggest that you can just paint over your mold should it be there but this is not the case and in fact, the mold will in all likelihood make a reappearance after you are done.

Do yourself a favor and clean the mold from the bathroom walls before you paint.

4. Making Use Of Mold Resistant Paint

Speaking of mold, you’re going to want to invest in good quality mold-resistant paint — the bathroom is one of the most humid rooms in the home and thus the paint should be mold resistant.

Of course, you should realize that just because the paint resists mold doesn’t mean that it is going to be perfectly free from mold forever — and so it is well worth checking for mold on occasion to make sure that you don’t find any.

5. Prepare The Surface Before You Paint

Lastly, you’re going to want to make sure that the surface that you are going to paint is fully ready to be painted before you start the painting process.

Specifically, you should look at first cleaning and then sanding the surface that is going to be painted before you apply a good quality primer to it — this will allow you to properly paint the bathroom and ensure that you have a well-painted bathroom for years to come.
