Homebase bathroom paint

Anyone used this, and is it any good, please?

My builder BIL's both rave about Dulux bathroom paint, but they don't do the right shade. All the greys are a bit browny.

Homebase have the perfect shade (Flintstone), but I'm dubious about the quality.

All advice much appreciated.

For a proper fungus resisting paint the retail ones are less likely to be effective than the specialist ones eg Zinsser BIN permawhite, I believe it can be colour matched www.decoratingcentreonline.co.uk/zinsser-perma-whiter-interior-satin-colour-match.html
Maybe not necessary if you do not have a problem with mould, it will be considerably more expensive than Homebase paint.

We had a general mould problem in our bathroom, had it all renovated and painted it with homebase bathroom paint, it came back straight away, literally overnight as it dried. Repainted it with dulux and no problem for the remaining 3 years we lived there. If you get any mould at all then steer well clear of the homebase paint.

A trade supplier will mix any Dulux paint to a shade.

I used a non bathroom paint in my bathroom, but added this and not had any mould in the last 18 months. Definitely make sure you have good ventilation/extractor fan though.
