Painting a bath panel

3 years ago

I’m painting a cut to size water resistant sheet of MDF to become a bath panel.

Have now given it one coat of (exterior) primer/undercoat but the tin doesn’t give any useable instructions. That’s F&B for you... 🙂

Will one coat suffice you think and how long is drying time?

Also, would it be advisable to paint both sides even though only one side will be visible?

Cheers!

👍 Nice one, Victoria. I guess drying time is only a few hours(?)

Hi. Go to the top of the page her on houzz and type radiator covers into the search bar and then select photos from the drop down next to the search bar. I was amazed at the number of photos that came up. I am sure you would find a good solution among these.

Main bath (guest) layout design

About your plumber saying "plumb layout is confirmed". That is a load of rubbish. It's fairly easy to move drains around (yes he might have to rip up some walls, but he can also do off-the-wall installations to avoid that). In a small bath proper placement is of the utmost importance!!! If you have the bathtub and shower next to each other that will be much better and then the glass separator idea should work. padmaramachandran's (see post above) setup sounds more reasonable to me as well (see first picture below). This is similar to your setup but as you have more space you could put in bath tub and shower where the picture only shows a bath tub. Also if you do it that way you could theoretically have a bidet or a wider wash basin (small double perhaps too). Example layout: Do you need a bathtub in the guest bath? If not you have a lot more room to work with. E.g. for a double wash basin and large walking shower and a bidet (2nd picture). Example of off-the-wall installation for toilet and bidet and a large walking shower. Finally if you ignore this advice and do it the way you planned ;) then I suggest you really thing about that glass separator. Doing it right will make a lot of difference (see 3rd picture). Good luck!

We're in the process of putting up wood pannelling in the hallway. Total DIY job but I think my husbands doing great job! I've included pic of wallpanneling and the floor tile in our hall. We're thinking of painting panelling white and want to put wallpaper above panelling as walls aren't great. Would welcome suggestions on wallpaper choice! Thanks.

Primer drying time for water based is about 4 hrs but if it is oil based it can take longer. On my bookcases I did 2 coats of primer then 2 coats of eggshell. I suppose painting both sides will help with keeping it waterproof for longer. Good luck!

That was my thinking about the waterproofing too 😊
