Peeling Ceiling from Condensation : How to Prepare and Paint

[rideforever]

Hi

There's been a lot of condensation in the bathroom (I'm looking to fix the cause of the problem first of course) ... but after that how do I prepare the ceiling and paint it.

There's a lot of little cracks around the lights etc... and some brown stains.

Cheers

One of the cracks around the lights :

Scrape off loose and peeling paint and rub down the edges you cause. Prime the bare plaster with dilute emulsion 70/30 ish.

Apply a good stain block such as zinsser bin to stains, but remove any mould with 3:1 bleach solution first.

Fill where you scraped off and primed.

Rub down flush and prime the filler.

Apply adequate number of full coats to the ceiling, eggshell is best for a bathroom.

Thats presuming you do address the damp source/problem.
