I have finally arrived at the painting and tiling stage of my ensuite reno :D

After some advice on paints.

The ensuite has new villaboard on most of it, wet area plasterboard on the ceiling. What sealer/primer/undercoat should be used on the new board? Is an anti mould treatment required?

Is there a special wet area ceiling top coat i should use?

The walk in robe that adjoins the ensuite has a villaboard ceiling. The old paint here is flaking off the ceiling :~ i will be sanding it right back to the board. What will i need to apply here to reduce that chances of the new paint flaking prematurely?

Sorry for lots of questions

Cheers
Gary

Enamel paints can help with mould I think?

You can use a 3 in 1 primer sealer undercoat and then apply 2 coats of Dulux Mouldshield. If you do not want to pay for the mouldshileld try an acrylic satin.

When I painted our renovated bathroom, I told the paint guy that I was painting a bathroom. He suggested an anti-mould additive mixed into the Haymes low sheen acrylic - a couple of dollars extra I think.
