Dulux Trade Durable Kitchen & Bathroom Eggshell is a durable, water-based emulsion built specifically for the two hardest-working rooms in any home. This Tinted Colour Match version is mixed to order in any of over 14,000 Dulux Trade colours, plus any Dulux Heritage, RAL or NCS shade, so you get the same mould resistance and Class 1 scrub rating in exactly the colour you need.
Why Choose a Dedicated Kitchen & Bathroom Paint
Standard matt and silk emulsions aren't designed for high-humidity rooms. Steam, condensation and grease cause ordinary paint to stain, peel or develop mould over time. Dulux Trade Durable Kitchen & Bathroom Eggshell is formulated as a genuine anti mould paint for kitchens and bathrooms, with a fungicide built into the paint film to help prevent new mould growth in the conditions these rooms create every day.
Choosing Your Colour
This Tinted Colour Match version can be mixed to any Dulux Trade colour, any Dulux Heritage shade, or matched to RAL and NCS references. Simply let us know your chosen colour reference at checkout or in-store, and it will be mixed to order on our in-house tinting system. As this paint is mixed specifically for you, tinted orders are non-returnable once made up, so please double check your colour choice before ordering.

Surface Preparation & Application
Surfaces should be sound, clean, dry and free from loose paint, dirt, grease or wax. New or bare surfaces should be prepared with Dulux Trade Drywall Primer Sealer, or a thinned first coat of this product. The normal finishing process is two full coats, applied by brush or roller. Spray application isn't recommended on fungicidal paints for health and safety reasons.
Mould Resistance: What It Does and Doesn't Do
The mould-resistant formulation contains a fungicide that helps prevent new mould growth within the paint film once applied. It is not a treatment for existing mould, which must be fully removed before decorating.
-
Treat: Remove existing mould fully and address the source of moisture where possible.
-
Prevent: Apply Dulux Trade Durable Kitchen & Bathroom Eggshell once the surface is clean, dry and sound.
-
Monitor: Keep the area ventilated, manage humidity levels, and check previously affected areas for signs of recurrence.
