I managed to overcome this using Polycell crack-free ceiling paint. It’s an expensive paint but so far hasn’t cracked and hopefully doesn’t go on to do so just thought I’d update the thread for anyone who may have a similar problem in the future.

Thank you for the prompt reply. I agree but am really confident it hasn’t. I scraped away or sanded old paint and it look absolutely fine before I painted it. I did use some easi fill in places which I omitted in my earlier post. I believe I used some caulk when it was done originally as it...

Hi all, Would anyone have any ideas as to why the paint at my ceiling/wall joint is cracking? I had the room plastered years ago which was done with scrim tape and the paint cracked then. I’ve scraped off/sanded back the old paint and applied a fresh coat and it’s cracked again whilst drying...

Thanks for all the replies. Shall give it a go and report back.

I’m installing a new bath but having great difficulty in getting it perfectly level. I am getting the side that runs along the wall perfectly level and then try to adjust the others but one side is always out. I can get 3 sides good but one is always quite out. Any ideas what I could be...

Thanks very much both.

So something like this would be suitable? http://www.screwfix.com/p/damp-proof-membrane-1000ga-3m-x-4m/12666

That was one option, I didn't know if it had to be breathable or not?
