Just bought a house and redecorating before moving in. The bathroom ceiling seems newly plastered, and I wanted to paint it over before starting to use the bathroom. Started off alright with skimming polyfilla over some minor holes and wiping down the ceiling with a damp sponge. Next day, painted on a coat of Zinsser Ceiling Pro 5-in-1. Within the hour, part of it had started cracking. Next day, large blotches of in one part have peeled off and/or cracked. This is all in the same area, and 2/3 of the ceiling are alright. I tried painting over again and got the same result. What is going on? There should be almost no moisture in the ceiling.
How can I make the thing stick? Skim with polyfilla then sand and paint again? Sand, then skim, then sand, then paint? Or...???
