Best anti-mould paint for a damp bedroom wall?
There's some black mould spots coming back on one bedroom wall after fixing a leak – high humidity area near window. Want a paint that stops it recurring, easy to clean, and doesn't stink during application. Matt finish okay, but needs to be durable. Any good ones for Irish homes?

Mould in bedrooms is a pain, especially with our damp air. Regular emulsion won't cut it – you need one with proper fungicidal additives that last. I used an anti-mould interior paint last year on similar damp patches; it covered well, dried quick with low odour, and no regrowth after months. Breathable types help too.

Zinsser Perma-White or Tikkurila Luja are popular for high-humidity spots. Applied fine over existing paint after treating the mould first.
