    Hi

    I had my whole house re-skimmed by the same plasterer around 2 years ago and the paint on the walls and ceilings is great with no issues at all. However, another plasterer skimmed the ceiling in the bathroom and lounge at the same time and I have found that the paint (which is the same used in the rest of the house) keeps peeling off of these two ceilings, both ceilings have been stripped back and repainted in the correct manner with base coats etc applied.

    Does any one have any suggestions how I can get the paint to stick, or is there a specialist paint I can use, and why might this be happening?

    Many thanks in advance
    Ian

    Strange its in the lounge as well as a bathroom, bathrooms if not ventilated properly suffer with this, mines a good example, but a lounge???

    Only thing I can think is the other plasterer added something to his mix that the reacting with the paint. Xxx

    :):)

    Good price, some places charge double that, also wear eye protection when applying it;)

    You might get away with just one coat, all depends how porous your ceiling is.

  14. Ian, plasterers are a weird breed. Like many tradespeeps, they like to try and demonstrate that 'they are the best...'.

    Not many trades provide the opportunity to allow them to display their finely-honed skills, but plastering is - alas - one that does... :oops:

    And if you invite a plasterer in to a home that's recently had another plasterer working there too, with their skimming work fully on display, the hackles will be raised to the point where 'plaster-preening' will unfortunately take place.

    How do these sad deluded individuals display their awesomeness? By polishing. And polishing. And polishing.

    To the point where the skim's surface is soooo hard and glossy and smooth and even and crisp that stuff like paint chust won't adhere.

    Do you recall whether the surface looked 'different'? Ie - almost shiny?

    If so, what you do is invite back the guilty plasterer, reassure him that you simply aren't concerned that his willy is clearly smaller than average, and that he'd better 'key' all of his work or else you'll treat him to a DIY vasectomy.

    Then hand over a single piece of 600 grit paper no large than 2" square.

    That'll teach the bar steward.
