Bathroom Painting


Residential Bathroom Painting 

Bathrooms present a couple of challenges that make them trickier to paint than other rooms in your house: Why?

Lots of fixtures and tight spaces: Unlike a living room with big, open walls, bathrooms are crammed with fixtures like toilets, sinks, and vanities. These things create tight spaces that are difficult to roll or brush around without getting paint on the fixtures themselves.

Moisture and ventilation: Bathrooms are naturally humid environments, and all that moisture can interfere with paint adhesion. You'll need to choose a special paint formulated for bathrooms that can withstand moisture and mildew growth.

More prep work: Because of the fixtures and tight spaces, painting a bathroom requires a lot more prep work. You'll likely need to remove some fixtures, meticulously mask around others, and thoroughly clean the walls to remove any soap scum or residue that might prevent the paint from sticking.

And this is what Jcb Painting does. We paint a lot of bathrooms!

Mold Removal and Painting

 I can't say this enough. Use the bathroom exhaust fan. Let it run for at least 15 minutes after taking a hot steamy shower or bath. If the fan is old, replace it. It's a lot less money to spend than a complete restoration painting job. Mold remediation adds to the cost of painting a bathroom significantly such as this one. And it can be unhealthy.

Mansfield Bathroom Painters

Bathroom Painting in Mansfield

Don't let you bathroom get like this.

This is what happens in your bathroom when you take long, hot, steamy showers and don’t turn on the ceiling fan — or worse, when the fan you do have isn’t powerful enough to pull moisture out of the air.

Over time, that excess humidity builds up on your walls and ceiling. The result? Peeling paint, bubbling texture, and eventually, mold. Black spots on the ceiling, brown patches near the corners — we see this kind of damage all the time.






At JCB Painting, we’ve helped many homeowners restore their bathrooms from moldy, peeling messes to clean, fresh, and properly sealed spaces.

🛠️ Here’s our plan of attack for a job like this:
Bleach and treat all moldy areas (in this case, the whole bathroom, ceiling and the walls). This step is crucial — painting over mold without treating it properly just hides the problem temporarily.

    Scrape away all loose and peeling paint.

Clean and prep the surfaces thoroughly to ensure proper bonding.
  • Caulk around the tub enclosure and any gaps to seal out future moisture.
  • Prime the ceiling and walls using a high-quality oil-based stain-killing bonding primer. This not only blocks any remaining stains or discoloration but helps lock down any spots where mold might try to return.
  • Paint the ceiling using durable white ceiling paint made for high-moisture areas.
  • Patch, fix, and sand the walls smooth.
  • Finally, apply 2 coats of premium paint in the customer’s chosen color.
💡 Pro Tip from JCB Painting:
If your bathroom doesn’t have a strong enough exhaust fan (or you don’t regularly use it), you’re inviting future problems. After a shower, run the fan for at least 15–20 minutes to help clear out the humidity. This one small habit can prevent mold, paint failure, and costly repairs down the line.

Bath Fitters using clear pure silicone caulking.

 

This is what to expect from a Bath Fitter bathroom renovation. They use a pure clear silicone caulk all around that starts to deteriorate in just a few years. It looks good at first. 

As a professional interior painter who paints a lot of bathrooms, I have come across this scenario many times over the years.


When Bath Fitters first apply the pure silicone caulk it looks fine but after a few years, this is what it looks like. Always!

When I have to paint a Bath Fitter bathroom I charge much more because of this. Pure silicone caulk should never be used where there will be paint. PAINT DOES NOT STICK TO IT. "Dap" makes a paintable silicone caulk but Bath Fitters has not heard of it. Unfortunately for the homeowner who has to live with the results and pay more later to have their bathroom repainted

Before painting a Bath Fitter bathroom all the pure silicone caulking has to be removed and re-caulked with paintable caulk. 

Re-moving deteriorating pure silicone caulk is a nightmare. It only comes off in small rubbery pieces. Then when you think you got it all removed and you start painting you find that there is still some leftover that you couldn't see because it is PURE SILICONE CAULKING. Thank-you Bath Fitters. For Nothing!



This is what the homeowners have to look at whenever they sit on the toilet.

Deteriorating pure clear silicone caulking. Nice job Bath Fitters!

bathroom painting in Walpole, MA.

Yes, a lighter wall color in a small room such as this bathroom looks much better than a dark color that makes the room look and feel smaller than it already is, as it was before adding this new color called "calming cream" by Benjamin Moore. After more than 30 years in the paint biz, Jcb Painting has a good idea what colors work best because of extensive experience.

Bathroom painting in Walpole, MA.

Jcb Painting will be painting this bathroom and the rest of this 3 bedroom condo in Walpole MA. This bathroom is very small and to paint it with a dark color just makes it look even smaller. We will be repainting it with a light cream color from Benjamin Moore Paints. Stay tuned.

Interior house painting in Foxborough, MA,

The finished bathroom paint job.After images from my last bathroom paint job in Foxborough, MA. What usually takes 2 days to do, painting from baseboard to ceiling, took 4 days because this bathroom was in poor shape. A big contributor of the mold and paint failure was not using the ceiling fan. 
The wall color is "la paloma gray" by Benjamin Moore.

Jcb Painting caulked all around the shower enclosure to keep
moisture from seeping under the paint and causing a paint failure after using the shower.

The bottom line here is always use your ceiling fan to exhaust the moisture
in the air after using the shower. Keep it on for at least 15 minutes.

Bathroom prepping before painting.

This is what happens when your bathroom isn't properly prepped and painted. Priming and caulking would have prevented this and saved the homeowner money when they hired Jcb Painting to fix it. 
The original paint job had a really bad caulking job around the vanity and along the baseboard which Jcb Painting had to completely remove and redo. Where the other painter should have absolutely caulked was around the shower enclosure as you can see from the images. 
This bathroom will be finished next Tuesday. Stay tuned.

Mold removal and painting in North Attleboro, MA.

mold growing on a ceiling in a bathroom in North Attleboro, MA.
This is what happens when you don't use the ceiling exhaust fan in
your bathroom. You get mold. And it just keeps getting worse.
Then when it has to be painted you have to pay more money
and time to get the job done, even if you do it yourself.
after mold reduction and finish painting.
Jcb Painting works on a lot of Bathrooms and very often
when we come to look at the paint job, mold is an issue because
the exhaust ceiling fan is hardly used or not at all. Before using the shower the ceiling fan should be turned on and kept on for at least 15 minutes after to exhaust the moisture from the air. So the lesson here is, use your bathroom fan. It's there for a purpose.
