Paint your shower base with Dulux

A bathroom with shower and base coloured blue

Overview

A fresh new look to your shower base, without the need for a complete overhaul, in just three simple steps with Dulux Renovation Range.

Safety tip: Always wear the appropriate safety equipment (safety glasses, gloves, ear muffs and a mask, for example) and always follow the instructions for the product or equipment. 

Steps

1Prepare the surface

  • Remove all silicone with Selleys Silicone Remover. Next, clean the area with a scouring pad.
  • Remove all grease and dirt with Selleys sugar soap.
  • Tape any edges and surfaces that you don’t want painted. 

2Apply Dulux Renovation Range Primer

  • Ensure the surface is dry.  
  • Cut-in using a sash brush around the edges. 
  • Apply one coat of Dulux® Renovation Range Primer with a microfibre roller – 4mm nap, 100mm wide.
  • Allow to dry for at least eight hours.

3Apply Dulux Renovation Range Top Coat

  • Add all of the additive, found underneath the lid, to the Dulux® Renovation Range Floors topcoat (featured colour: Dulux Vivid White™).
  • Stir well using a lifting motion for 2–5 minutes.
  • Cut-in using a sash brush around the edges. 
  • Coat the surface using a 4mm nap, 100mm wide microfibre roller.
  • Apply at least two coats, allowing at least eight hours before re-coating. 

4Keep in mind

  • Ensure safety and application directions are followed as per the product labels.
  • Return to light use after two days (including running water and foot traffic). General use after seven days (with normal exposure to water, soap, and foot traffic).

Health & Safety

Please make sure you use all equipment appropriately and safely when following the advice in these D.I.Y. videos. You need to be familiar with how to use equipment safely and follow the instructions that came with the equipment. If you are unsure, you may feel it is safest to consult an expert, such as the manufacturer or an expert Bunnings Team Member.

Grave health hazards are linked to asbestos, which may be in homes built up to 1990. Health hazards may result from exposure to lead-based paints in older materials and copper chromium arsenic (CCA) treated timber. For information on the dangers of asbestos, lead-based paint and CCA treated timber and tips for dealing with these materials contact your local council's Environmental Health Officer.
