Bathroom paint bubbling. How to fix this.

Anonymous user 16/03/2024 - 2.52 PM

Decided to paint bathroom following a refurb. I had no idea if it had been previously painted with oil or water based so decided to use a primer. Walls & ceiling were sanded and damp wiped and left to dry. Primed with leyland acrylic primer & undercoat and left to dry for 2 hrs. Ceiling painted with Dulux bathroom soft sheen & walls painted with valspar standard bathroom soft sheen. I've scraped back bubbling paint it's peeling down to the primer & the primer is chalky(I can scrape with my nail and it turns to powder) For the most part the paint seems to be well adhered and it's just in 3 spots in having the issue I'm just not too sure where to go from here.

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Sand back bubbling parts then prime /sealer let this dry completely then repaint with a moisture resistance paint and let this dry completely 2days before putting any moisture into the room

Scrape back the loose bubbling areas until it stops then spot prime with either BIN primer or coverstain. Fill edges, sand then repaint.

Pretty self explanatory just like anyone would tell you. Flatten back with some 120 grit or even finer. The key is to have no loose edges or anything that would grin against the rest of the wall. Zinsser waterproofing or BIN or any decent primer applying 2 coats. Let it dry completely and flatten any edges and then repaint either with a fine brush or a small roller.
