    Has anyone used the dulux bathroom paint or the crown kitchen and bathroom paint. I want to use instead of tiles in bathroom and would welcome experiences. Thanks

    All this stuff is is interior acrylic eggshell. No different to other eggshell finishes; mid sheened, washable, moisture resistant. I have it in my own bathroom with just the shower and sink splashback tiled. Condensation just sits on top of it and doesn't damage the finish and any dirt or grime can be easily wiped off it. TBH I'd be wary of using it on surfaces that are overly wet (hence my shower and sink having tiles).
    Don't be constrained by Crown or Dulux's lack of colours in the range...ask your paint shop to mix up the colour you want in Acrylic Eggshell.

    I think I used the Crown Kitchen and Bathroom, it was called something White or White something but went on the wall bluish.

    would you need it on the ceiling as well?

    Not really...most people don't like shiny ceilings, myself included. Matt is usually fine unless it's particularly small or poorly ventilated and prone to damp/mildew...I know some painters who put exterior masonry paint on bathroom ceilings just in case. It's low sheen but more water resitant than matt...

    Sorry that was a stupid question as the tiles I was hoping to replace are not on the ceiling too! Anyway i discovered I cannot do around shower with it and it won't relace tiles there. My problem is half my wall is tiled over bath and to install a shower would need more tiles whic h I was trying to avoid
