Bathrooms are the most moisture-intensive rooms in a home. Paint that isn't properly selected and applied in a bathroom will peel, bubble, or grow mildew within a year or two. The right approach starts with the right primer — moisture-blocking, mildew-resistant — and ends with a topcoat designed for humid environments.
Cornerstone Pro Painting handles bathroom repaints for all bathroom sizes and types — powder rooms, main baths, ensuites, and basement bathrooms. We use moisture-resistant primers and durable semi-gloss or satin topcoats that hold up to daily shower steam and humidity. Prep is thorough: any existing peeling or bubbling is addressed before new paint goes on.

All surfaces receive a moisture-blocking, mildew-resistant primer. This is the most important step for bathroom durability.
We apply a durable topcoat in your chosen colour. Semi-gloss is standard for bathrooms — it's washable, moisture-resistant, and easy to clean.
Gaps at trim, tiles, and fixtures are re-caulked where needed. Clean caulk lines protect the surface and finish the room properly.
A moisture-resistant, mildew-resistant paint applied over a proper primer is essential. We use Benjamin Moore Aura Bath & Spa or Sherwin-Williams Emerald for bathrooms — both are formulated specifically for high-humidity spaces.
We recommend waiting at least 24 hours before using a shower or bath after painting. The paint is dry to the touch sooner, but needs time to fully cure.
Not directly — peeling paint must be removed first, the surface primed, and then repainted. Painting over peeling paint just delays the problem.
Yes. Bathroom ceilings require the same moisture-resistant products as the walls. We always recommend painting the ceiling at the same time as the walls.
Most bathrooms take half a day to a full day depending on size and condition. An ensuite with extensive tile surrounds or detailed trim may take longer.
