...that is the question!
I have an old 1930's house where the ceiling in the bathroom has been boarded and then artexed, the moisture in the bathroom has affected the artex and it has now started to peel off and leave an unsightly mess behind!
I want to fit a new plasterboard ceiling, just 3x2 round the edges and across and then fit plasterboard to the 3x2.
the question is...
1) do I have to skim the plasterboard before painting with a bathroom paint, or can i paint straight onto the plasterboard and just fill in the joints?
2) Is there any issue with damp that i should be aware of when fitting a new ceiling in the bathroom (i.e. i dont want mold growing behind the new ceiling!!)
I hope i have posted this in the right forum...thanks in advance for your help.
