Now onto something a little bit different. Having the best anti mould additive to hand gives you so many decorative options and for this category we would go with Dryzone’s Anti Mould Additive.

Of course, it makes a lot of sense to look at the environmental factors within your home to see if there are things you can do to stop mould in the first place. In my professional opinion I would avoid purchasing budget anti mould paints. Adding biocides which will ultimately protect your surfaces from mould growth isn’t cheap. So chances are, a budget anti mould paint isn’t going to have a high content of biocides.

How does Mould Resistant Paint work?

It’s very easy to apply and once fully set leaves a soft sheen finish in magnolia resulting in a look that is sophistic yet simple. Whilst not specifically labeled as anti mould, Dulux’s Easy Care Bathroom paint works much in the same way as some other paints on this list. Surface Preparation - 1. Remove any loose material such as old paint, grease, dirt, mould or defective wallpaper. Soluguard Multi-Surface Biocide can be used for wetting mould-contaminated wallpaper prior to removing it. 2. Make good any defects in the surface and rub down to a smooth finish. 3. Wash and clean all surfaces (walls, ceilings, window frames and joinery) using Soluguard Multi-Surface Biocide. If necessary clean badly affected areas a second time. 4. Allow to dry thoroughly. 5. If necessary, apply an appropriate primer or sealer to new, unprimed or porous plaster and wooden surfaces or bare metal. 6. For new or porous plaster surfaces use Dryzone System Mould-Resistant Emulsion Paint thinned up to 10% with clean tap water as normal good practice. Allow to dry thoroughly. Hands-On Expertise & Collective Knowledge: Our team boasts extensive DIY experience and in-depth knowledge. Unlike most other paints on our list, Dulux has the advantage of providing a lovely soft sheen finish that doesn’t need to be painted over once set. The cool neutral range of colours means you can choose any colour from White Mist to Slate Grey, leaving your bathroom with a modern chic look.

Application : Brush or roller only. For health and safety reasons related to all fungicidal paints, spray application is not recommended. STIR THOROUGHLY BEFORE USE. The normal finishing process is 2 full coats of Mouldshield Fungicidal Matt from Dulux Trade, but on previously painted surfaces in good condition, where similar colours are used, 1 coat may be sufficient. Anti mould paint is more an inhibitor than a straight up fungicide so if you were thinking about painting over mould with anti mould paint, we’d advise against it.
