Currently ordering a new en suite bathroom to be fitted however b&q have now told me it will be two months before they have all the parts available for delivery. As I am changing mortgage the house is going to be valued soon and so need a temp job doing in order to clean it up. The problem is I have no diy experience (first house) and so don't know where to begin
The bathroom is about 2.5m at it's widest point by 1.4m
Due to heavy condensation problems in the past the paint is all peeling off the roof and there are black marks on the walls which I am hoping to repair/cover.
The wallpaper joints are quite well sealed however they are becoming more visible with the wallpaper starting to come off if parts
The paint is so thin on the roof you can see the material under it so need to get it covered before it causes more problems
When the bathroom is done it will be fully tiled, with hopefully paneling on the roof so I don't want spend too much now, if I am just going to take it down in two months. However if I can do some work now which will assist the bathroom later I am happy to do it.
So my question is where do I go from here
1. rip the paper off and re line it then paint? no idea what the walls are under it, one is external the rest are internal
2. try to patch up the paper to cover the joints then paint over the top
3. For the roof can I just scrape off the loose paint and then paint over it or do I have to do other prep/repair work first.
Sorry for the long rant but don't want to start something without the best available knowledge.
thanks
