Standard emulsion paints aren’t designed to cope with the demands of a busy kitchen. Choosing a durable kitchen paint helps keep your walls and cabinets clean, beautiful and mould-free day after day.
Here are some of the key features that set kitchen paint apart:
-
Moisture-resistant: Protects against condensation and splashes.
-
Durable finishes: Withstand everyday wear, scratches and scuffs.
-
Easy to wipe clean: Keeps surfaces looking fresh, even after spills and grease.
-
Excellent coverage: Achieve a sleek, professional finish with fewer coats.
We stock a diverse range of paints for kitchen surfaces.
Diverse Finishes
We stock a variety of matt emulsion, satin, and soft sheen finishes to suit your style and space.
-
Matt: Finishes like Dulux Trade Diamond Matt are ideal for creating a modern, understated look that hides small surface imperfections.
-
Satin or soft sheen: Satin formulations like Johnstone’s Aqua Water-Based Satin offer a gentle glow, making cleaning easier while creating an elegant finish.
-
Gloss: High-sheen formulations like Dulux Trade High Gloss provide a sleek, reflective finish that’s highly wipeable and durable, perfect for trims and wood.
High-Performance Formulations
Not all paints are created equal. Our trade formulations are specifically engineered to withstand the demands of busy kitchens. Look out for:
-
Scrubbable matt emulsions: Scuff- and scrub-resistant finishes like Benjamin Moore Scuff-X withstand daily wiping without losing colour or texture.
-
Moisture- and steam-resistant options: Formulas like Zinsser Perma-White Interior Matt reduce the risk of mould growth in areas exposed to condensation.
-
Stain-blocking technology: Products like Crown Trade Clean Extreme Stain Resistant Matt help prevent common kitchen marks like grease or spills from seeping through.
Various Applications
Every surface in a kitchen has unique needs. Our product range includes solutions tailored to:
-
Walls and ceilings: Enhance your kitchen with matt emulsions that balance style with durability. Try Little Greene Intelligent Matt Emulsion for a tough, wipeable and eco-friendly option.
-
Kitchen cabinets and woodwork: Choose tougher coatings that resist chips and scratches. Consider Farrow & Ball Flat Eggshell for a washable, low-sheen finish.
-
Multi-surface paints: Flexible formulas that can also be used on metal fixtures, radiators or shelving around the kitchen. Consider products like Zinsser Allcoat for a multi-surface option, or opt for Bradite One Can – a primer, undercoat and topcoat all in one, perfect for refreshing multiple surfaces.

To achieve the most professional results, follow these steps:
-
Remove loose items from the room.
-
Ensure surfaces are adequately covered with a dust sheet. Tape off smaller items like plugs, light switches, etc., to ensure clean, crisp lines.
-
Fill and sand any holes or cracks before applying paint.
-
Prime if needed, especially when changing from a dark to a light shade.
-
Apply paint. Start with trims and cabinets, then move on to walls and ceilings. Use the right tools, like a high-quality roller for larger areas. We always recommend you cut in first for best results.
-
Leave adequate drying time and always follow manufacturer guidance for best results.
