I know that vynil or silk emuilsion is usually recommended for bathroom walls and ceilings but I would prefer a matt finish. Any reason why not ?

Walls and ceilings have been replastered.

Cheers.

You're confusing two things. Matt is a finish. Vinyl is a paint type. You can get Matt vinyl emulsion.
It used to be about what would do best in a steamy atmosphere. Nowadays you can get matt kitchen and bathroom paint.

Thanks everyone
I prefer a Matt finish to one with a sheen.

As long as your bathroom is well ventilated go for Matt emulsion.
The best type of paint or a bathroom or kitchen is egg shell finish this is a hard wearing matt finish that is tougher than water based emulsion paint , and can be lightly scrubbed to remove marks.
Any reputable paint shop that can mix paint can mix eggshell finish to whatever colour you want, you should be able to buy white eggshell finish off the shelf, but you might have to try more than one store as you don't see it as often as you did in the past.

Don't be conned by paint described as special kitchen / bathroom paint or steam resistant paint, it is only eggshell finish under a different name and costs twice or three times what eggshell finish costs.
