He was going to use johnstones vinyl matt but I said I'd prefer a bathroom paint but after discussing it with some other decorators that he knows he went for Sandtex Ultra Smooth Exterior Masonry paint with microseal as he says its waterproof & has mould inhibitors. I did query it being exterior paint but he said it would be fine.
A couple of days after he finished the job & only 2 showers later I've noticed some small bits of flaking/peeling starting to appear on the coving in the shower cubicle near the shower head (see photos). Its only around 20 cm that's affected but surely shouldn't be happening?
He's meant to be getting in touch soon to look at my ensuite as the coving in there is worse & forever peeling. He was talking about sanding it & sealing it before repainting.
Just would like opinions on what he's done. Has 30 yrs experience & good reviews. The kitchen & bedroom ceilings look great that he painted.
Is it reasonable to point out the peeling & expect him to fix it for free? Also should I insist on bathroom paint for the ensuite coving? I have a partly used tin of Zinnsser perma white in the house. I'll be keeping an eye on it over next week or so in case it gets worse.
