    a thin layer of plaster is coming off when painting.

    Many ways to skin a cat. Never ever had a single issue with emulsion not adhereing after coating with a light coat of watered down PVA. I used Evo Stick wood glue in my bathroom due to peeling and flakyplaster like the original poster described , 2 years later and it still looks as good...

    Aqualux Steam Cabinet shower

    Yes what would you like to know ? I worked for Aqualux as a service engineer and know these inside out. There are some modifications you need to do to parts like the divertor valve prior to installing to ensure they work properly for more than a couple of months.
