Bathroom paint type?

I'm doing my bathroom at the moment and i'm re-plasterboarding the whole room, where its not tiled i plan to paint it matt white, what would you suggest type of paint i should use? Vinyl Matt?

Thanks

You can buy bathroom/kitchen specific paint from most stores which will resist moisture.

try Dulux Soft Sheen , it has all the properties of a vinyl silk but is not as shiny. If you really want to splash out use Acrylic Eggshell , basically water based eggshell. They both can be tinted.

While on the subject, is there an alternative to tiling round a shower? I don't have enough cash to tile the whole bathroom but dont want to paint nearly all the bathroom and just tile the shower. The shower unit it over the bath.

Thanks

The less tiles the better. It was only in the olden days when paint couldn't handle water that tiles were needed. The more tiles you use, the more 1980s retro it will look.
