Ask your QuestionThe paint is from the ceiling of my bathroom. This is mostly above the bath and shower area, the rest of the room is ok. I think it is because it is a new-build and contractors have just put cheap paint directly onto the plaster and not primed it. Would I need to peel all the paint off and start from scratch, or can I just scrape it off in the affected area, prime that area and then paint over the entire ceiling with new paint?

"Scrape the damaged paint and seal it first then recoat it with a paint that isn't a matt finish because matt paint reacts badly to moisture"

Answered on 12th Jan 2022 - Member since Jun 2020 - report"Yeah, they would have just used normal matt
Scrape loose paint, get a tin of Peel Stop, B and Q sell it.
Apply that and then a bathroom/durable white"
"Best results peel all back then miss coat the plaster before emulsion or knock back the loose then fill then paint but will not be as nice"
