Flakey paint on plastered walls (what to try now?)

somersetpaul · 24 Mar 2009

Hi all

I know there have been alot of entries about painting on newly plastered walls but my problem is a little different.

The bathroom walls were replastered last year. After a few weeks I repainted them using bathroom paint. Almost immediately after finising patches of the paint started to flake off.

I then sanded down the flakey walls, filled in the worst offending areas with some fine filler and tried again. Again, the walls started to flake.

I then covered the walls in a mix of pv glue and water, let it dry out and then repainted. Again, the paint flaked off.

What can I do now? I would try anything which will solve this problem.

Thanks for reading all.
