Mould on Bathroom Ceiling

Caesar · 5 May 2010

Dear All

I have mould on my Bathroom Ceiling though only on certain parts mostly the edges closer to the double Glazed Window. I have painted 3 times but the mould always returns even after using anti mould products and bleach prior to re-painting. Rest of the Bath Room ceiling is fine. Anyone know how to remedy this problem? Many thanks.

Ventilation is the key really. Wipe it over with bleach again to get rid of the mould and whn dry use an oil based undercoat to paint it with instead of emulsion. Get a decent fan or keep the window open a bit more.

Dear Robbie uk

Many thanks please could you tell what make or brand there are of Oil Based Paint and best place to obtain etc? Sorry about the ignorance but really am a novice at this! I have already started to vent the Bathroom more by leaving the window open etc. Many thanks

you would do well to get an extractor fan, and run it during and after every bath or shower.

Oil based undercoat can be bought at any DIY in anyones make. Like John says the fan is the best thing in any bathroom. If its wired in with the light it should be timed to stay on at least 30 minutes after the light has been switched off. Better still have it wired to its own pull cord so you can keep it on longer when the light is not needed.
