Hi All,
I am a first time buyer and new to DIY thanks to always living in rented accommodation. I am starting to redecorate the place, but I noticed in the bathroom a crack that the previous people had painted over, that snakes its way up the wall from the corner of the window. It’s not very deep, but there looks to be a wide area of darkening to the paint work around it.
It is on a masonry external wall with a plaster finish. Would I be right in thinking it’s probably a crack in the plaster that damp has affected? It is not well ventilated and I was about the stick some bathroom Dulux paint over the walls, but I would like to know what I’m dealing with first. I have endeavoured to include a couple of images below.
