waxed concrete (beton cire) - contractor recommendations

Don’t do it.  I waxed my own plaster walls and ceiling, and I am in the business of renovating bathrooms.  I am so glad none of my clients took my offer to do it on their bathroom walls and ceilings.  It looked great; some of it still does.  As I had minor water damage from above unit, it was difficult to repair.  After repeated repairs, full renovations, more repairs – even more continuing leaks from same neighbor – not up to my standards and not a cheap renovation – my walls and ceiling need way more extensive work than if I had never waxed them.  It would have been great in a dry room.  Paint it.  Use decorative techniques if you like, not just brushes and rollers, but paint it.  Oh, please don’t use LA traps under tubs and showers.
