Hi all,
We've recently moved into a house (10 year old new build, plasterboard walls, tall but narrow design)
The master bedroom seems to be the only room where some of the paint is flaking away. In some places it has come off entirely, in others it has cracked.
It only occurs in the window recesses of this one particular room. All others rooms and window recesses are fine.
The only reason I can think of is that the previous owners had a steam press in this room and it is the room with an ensuite, and so it could be moisture from one of these sources which they didn't ventilate correctly.
We're planning on redecorating this room (fill in holes, repaint, recaulk, etc).
What would be the best way to do this with the flakey window recesses?
I'm guessing chip off all the flakey bits, sand it down, try a thin layer of polyfilla, resand, then repaint?
