Bathroom Refurbishment – Kent.
Farrow & Ball Dayroom Yellow No.233 in a bathroom refurbishment – Kent.
The bathroom was stripped out and fully refurbished (apart from the painting) by Home Plumbing. A small family run business. I have carried out decorating work for Home Plumbing in their own home and for their clients.
Oh no – please not retail paint!
Our client supplied retail emulsion for the ceiling. It was Dulux pure brilliant white matt emulsion from Homebase.
I don’t like retail paints on the whole, as they usually need an extra coat and this one didn’t me let me down on that score.
After the industry standard mist coat to the bare plastered ceiling and two further full coats, it still needed an extra coat. Not impressed, but hey ho!
The Feature Wall
The feature wall in this bathroom was also newly plastered and needing a mist coat. This is where the trade paints come in to their own. Even when thinning trade paints down to a mist coat consistency, they still cover well.
As usual after a mist coat to a ceiling or wall surface, the walls are sanded using the Abranet sanding system on smaller areas (such as this project).
On larger surfaces I use the Mirka Ceros. Both systems boast a virtually dust free system, which my clients like and so do I.
Once the wall was prepped, it was on with clients choice of paint. This was Farrow & Ball Modern Emulsion – Dayroom Yellow No.233.
I personally thought it would be “a bit too much” for the bathroom and so did the husband.
But on completion and when the room was finished and fully dressed it looked quite stunning as I’m sure you would agree!
The work was carried out to a high standard by Home Plumbing from Sittingbourne and Before & After Painting Company.
The high standard enabled the client to sell their house in quick time as well. Now they have moved, they will be calling on Before & After Painting and Home Plumbing to carry out work in the new home.
