KiwiNZShower Domes are terrible, you can end up with huge quantities of water getting between the shower linings, you don't want that, the resultant repair would be very expensive.

That sounds like a poor installation, or mis information. It doesn't match any of the places I've lived in with them fitted (or put in myself).

Properly installed and used they do a great job of reducing condensation, reduces moisture in the home, reduces heating costs....... et el...

Niel: +1 for last night's Fair Go (?) episode at 7:30. Exit Mould just removes the colour so you don't see it, does nothing to the roots which are well embedded in the gib. They recommend warm soap water, because then you can see where it goes and how much is still left. Otherwise replace the gib.

Some years ago I've painted our bathroom with a mould inhibiting paint. Mould never came back in many, many years. Will see if I can track down the brand, think I got it from Bunnings and was one of the cheaper products as we were on a tight budget. It also killed some insects. This was on a 50 year old ceiling and gib of unknown age without proper wet environment sealer undercoat.

kiwitrc: You are probably thinking of Zinsser Paint.

NZRobin: Bleach doesn't get to the root of the problem, literally!
Mould is a type of fungus and needs to be treated with an anti-fungicide such as borax or vinegar. There is an excellent website below that has tons of information about what it is, the different types and how to treat it. As always prevention is better than cure and if you can stand any negatives such as their look or for some people stuffiness then in your situation a showerdome sounds an excellent idea.
