Waterproof paint for shower cubicle

That's a hard one , we have an ensuite painted with Bathroom paint , but I don't know if it would work in a shower area , our shower has that laminated wall stuff that comes in sheets and is very easy to clean , not tile grout

I mean , no tiles no grout to scrub

I know what you mean about the splash back panels, aggie. Too expensive for the caravan though unfortunately.

I don't want to do all that painting only to have the paint come off when the walls are wiped.

Would some kind of paint on dye work better if its smooth plastic? don't know what would be suitable though

Your problem might be finding a paint that will adhere to the plastic rather than one that's waterproof. This sticks to glazed tiles, so it might work, but it will probably depend on the type of plastic.

Before you start it might be worth considering what you'll do if the paint all starts flaking off. You won't be able to use chemical or hot air strippers without damaging the plastic, and sanding won't be very practical either if the surface is textured.

Thanks, everyone. I have a horrible feeling I'm going to have to learn to love the orange.

I did wonder about tile paint. The plastic is not smooth and shiny, it's a kind of hard leather texture. I wish there were an unobtrusive bit I could do a test on but it's all open.

DH has just said, 'Why are you trying to make extra work for yourself. Just give it all a good scrub.'

No doubt he's right but when you get a bee in your bonnet........

How about trying melamine paint that is sold to cover plastic kitchen cupboard fronts? I think you have to put on a primer first.
