Professionals in Painting Services Tips in Using a Thin Roller to Paint Behind a Toilet

Using a Thin Roller, Paint the Toilet Back

You want to have a clean, tidy paint job while painting the bathroom walls. Even for experienced painters, painting behind the toilet tank might be difficult. This little, confined area, which is typically about 2 inches broad, seemed to defy all attempts to paint it neatly. The best tool for painting walls is a paint roller. Nevertheless, standard paint roller covers have a diameter of 2 1/4 inches, making them too thick for the area beneath the tank. Use a high-density foam roller that is just 1 inch or 1 1/4 inches in diameter to solve the problem. The area will be shielded from spills or drips because the entire toilet tank will be covered in plastic. Here are some pointers from specialists in painting services on how to use a thin roller to paint behind a toilet.

Safeguard Tank

The toilet cover should be removed and stored. Fit a clean trash bag over the toilet tank by inverting it. Cinch the extra plastic in place and secure it with the rubber band on the tank’s side that faces the toilet seat.

Pour Paint

Fill the 6-inch paint tray with approximately 1 cup of paint. Put the foam roller in the tray and dunk it. Roll it out on the tray to dry.

Painting the Toilet Tank’s Back

In the space behind the toilet tank, keep painting the bathroom walls, as far as you possibly can (about 5 inches). Just behind the tank, where no one can see it, will be an unpainted area.

Paint Behind Toilet Bowl

You can use the thin paint roller again or move to a standard paint roller or a brush to paint the wall right behind the toilet bowl, which is underneath the tank.
