Painting in bathroom with new suite

Posts: 6,814 Ambassador
I am getting a new bathroom suite installed and tiling done and I wondered when should I paint.
I don't want to get paint on the new suite or tiles.
Should I paint before and touch up after or just paint after it is installed?

Thank you.
If I do paint after I would have to mask everything up, so would it be better to start before the suite goes in?I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Quick Grabbit, Freebies, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning and the UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

If you paint before, then you may have to paint again as the fitting could damage the paintwork.
Paint afterwards - use masking tape and cover the suite with dust sheets!Warning ..... I'm a peri-menopausal axe-wielding maniac

If you are not very accurate at painting then paint first. With the paint being fresh, any touching up needed will blend in. Regarding damage there shouldn't be any, only marks.What goes around - comes around

The bath will probably come with a plastic film over it to protect it. Peel it back from the edges for the installation and fully remove after the decorating is finished.
You could paint the ceiling first though, that'll be out of the way of everything else being installed.*************************

Decorate once the suite is fitted in, keep rags and white spirit (turps) handy and wipe any drips or spillages up as you go, be careful and you won't mess anything up.0

I'm gonna be difficult :think:
In a bathroom you'll need more than one coat.
I blast the first coat on before I install the bathroom suite. Then I do the second coat after I've installed the suite.
