Bare Plasterboard Bathroom Ceiling

[leevis]

Hi All
Planning out my bathroom redecoration and this is going to involve a new ceiling in the bathroom. I plan to use tapered plasterboard and then fill the taper & sand etc (I have done this before and know what i am doing here).
In the past i have used a couple of coats of watered-down emulsion on the finished plasterboard and then put on a quite a few full coats of emulsion but i realize that doing this in a bathroom may not be the best method because of the humidity etc.
So, the question is, how to I paint the ceiling in a bathroom, what should i be using?

Ideally you need bathroom paint.

If you look at the back of the tin, it's will most likely say that you should apply three coats; one slightly watered down bathroom paint as a sealer, once that dries, two cats of undisputed bathroom paint for maximum protection against the condensation.

One top coat will do, depending on the quality.

Many thanks - can you recommend a decent quality from a shed/screwfix etc

Johnstone's bathroom kitchen paint.

It's got good consistency, but not as good as Dulux.

Depends on your budget; I'd recommend looking at your local diy trade desk, and having a chinwag with the person behind the counter; they'll give you a good brand without the high price.

I would recommend The Range, as they've always beaten prices when it comes to paint.
