Paint for Shower Cubicle

I am 'upgrading' my bathroom and need to paint the ceiling in the shower cubicle. The bathroom paints all seem to say 'not suitable for shower cubicles' - any suggestions of what paint to use?

Thanks.

    i have a shower cubicle in my loft, i used dulux bathroom/kitchen paint.

    (i have also just repainted the main bathroom in the same paint)

    as long as the cubicle has a means of airflow......
    ie my cubicle is open above the door, plus an extractor fan
    smile --- it makes people wonder what you are up to.... ;) :cool:

    Thanks Rob. I'll give it a try. It will have a gap above the door and the there is an extractor fan although the ceiling is quite low so has a greater risk of getting splashed.

    That's exactly what we did - made sure surface was perfectly smooth and clean and then used 3 coates - ok after 4 years!
    I'm mad!!!! :rotfl::jand celebrating everyday every year!!!
