well, they dont look so bad as they have repainted about twice now.
It is about 10 inches I think.
Thing is I dont think the decorators will do another coat.
Do you think if it gets left like this it will look rubbish as it will collect dirt in the cracks?
Thankyou Zampa
hi there,
I have posted pictures of the cracks as they appear now. They have been painted over once.
Do you think that if they get left like this, (if you click on photo it gets enlarged), that dirt will get in and really show up?
Thankyou again for your replies
I called up the technical helpline and they say it is a common problem that occurs with pebbledash. There is a tendency to apply it too thickly and then when it dries it cracks.
The solution is they say to put on watered down layer, really pushing it into...
previous coating was done about 6 years ago and was dulux weathershield.
It was in reasonably good condition, just losing its whiteness really.
I dont think they washed it down at all, some of it is at first floor level.
The pebbles are very raised, They are quite coarse, maybe 8mm high...
I should have given more detail. The pebbledash surface had been previously painted and the decorator had watered down the paint that he applied.
Thanks
Hi there,
My decorator is using the above paint watered down however as it has dried it has cracked. It looks like it has dried unevenly. My pebbledash is very stony
Has anyone had this experience?
Is it common?
What should decorator do about it now?
I dont know if this paint always...
