Bathrooms generate intense short-term humidity. Removing moisture at source is more effective than relying on paint alone.
Why this matters for properties in Paphos
Steam condenses on the coldest surfaces, commonly mirrors, windows, ceilings and external corners. Homes closed between visits may also have limited background airflow.
What to inspect before deciding
Check that the extractor vents outside, is clean and runs long enough after use. Inspect sealants, plumbing and ceiling marks so a leak is not mistaken for condensation.
A practical way to plan the work
Use the fan during bathing, open the room to replacement air and dry persistent surface water. Once stable, prepare affected coatings and choose a finish suitable for the room.
Common mistake to avoid
Opening a window briefly may not remove moisture trapped in surfaces, and a stronger paint cannot compensate for a non-functioning extractor.
