Scuff-Proof Beauty: Inside White Bathroom Repaint in South Portland

In just one workday, CYR Painting Service completed a full interior bathroom repaint for a residential client located in South Portland, Maine. This 8-hour project covered ceilings, walls, and trim, giving the bathroom a crisp, updated look that’s both durable and elegant.

The space, while modest in size, required professional precision due to the high-moisture environment and architectural details around trim, door frames, and fixtures. We provided a complete interior repaint, using high-performance, mold-resistant products ideal for bathroom environments.

This project was booked as a single-service appointment, priced affordably for residential clients wanting quality without the wait. Every stroke was executed with care, giving the client a smooth, long-lasting finish that transformed their everyday space into a fresh and calming retreat.

The homeowner came to CYR Painting Service with a clear issue: a dated, dull bathroom that no longer felt clean or fresh—even after scrubbing. The previous paint was beginning to yellow near the ceiling, the trim had visible scuff marks, and the walls carried the subtle imprint of years of moisture and wear.

She was frustrated. She’d tried touching up the walls on her own, only to find mismatched patches and streaks where the humidity had affected the finish. What she wanted was a total reset—something that looked modern, timeless, and easy to maintain.

After speaking with our team, she felt confident we understood exactly what she needed. More importantly, she was relieved to discover that CYR Painting Service uses bathroom-specific coatings that are engineered to resist peeling, bubbling, and mildew. That peace of mind was everything.

So, we got to work—prepping the space and applying professional-grade products that would not only look beautiful but also stand the test of time.

• Initial Consultation & Surface Evaluation: Spoke with the homeowner to assess the condition of the bathroom surfaces, confirm the desired look and feel, and recommend finishes that would withstand humidity while maintaining a soft, elegant appearance.
• Surface Prep: Cleaned all surfaces thoroughly to remove soap residue and dust. Patched minor wall imperfections and de-glossed trim for improved paint adhesion. Taped off fixtures, floor edges, and hardware to protect against drips and splatter.
• Ceiling Painting: Applied Benjamin Moore Ultra Flat Ceiling Paint in white using a roller technique designed for low-sheen, even coverage that conceals imperfections and resists future moisture damage.
• Wall Painting: Rolled on two coats of Benjamin Moore Regal Select in Simply White (Eggshell finish), chosen for its mildew-resistant formula and soft glow that holds up well in bathrooms.
• Trim Painting: Brushed on two coats of Benjamin Moore Scuff-X in Simply White (Satin finish) across all baseboards, door frames, and window casings for a durable, scrubbable surface that resists everyday scuffs and wear.
• Final Inspection & Clean-Up: Performed a detailed walkthrough with the homeowner to ensure complete satisfaction. Touched up minor areas, removed all masking, and provided care tips to extend the life of the new finish.

The finished bathroom was a complete transformation—bright, airy, and polished. The use of Simply White across all surfaces gave the space a clean, cohesive look while allowing the architectural details to shine. The flat ceiling paint created a soft overhead surface that helped diffuse light naturally. The satin trim popped just enough to provide contrast without being harsh.

Most importantly, the homeowner was thrilled.

“This is exactly what I wanted. It looks like a brand-new bathroom. The team was so professional and quick—I couldn’t believe how much you accomplished in just one day!”
