I've had the dulux anti mould stuff on the ceiling in our bathroom for over a year now and its perfect. We dont have an extractor fan either so it gets quite wet. | |

Big tubs of sodium chloride crystals (i.e. salt) will help as salt attracts moisture and the crystals turn into brine, which you can then heat up and turn back into salt again! :lol: | |

strip the paint off and give it a coat of a pva glue/water mix. maybe even 2 coats | |

Just to add most extractor fans are shit :lol: Best thing to do is have an in-line fan in the loft screwed to a joist. This way you get the maximum extraction rate without any noise ;) | |

quote: Already have a 8/9" extractor at the end of the bath, this is why we're confused to why the ceiling peels. Likewise the window is opened every time someone uses the shower/bath. Jungle - Will give it a go, but the ceiling has been painted a handful of times since we've been in the house (15yrs or so) and it seems to peel every time. Hence why i was wondering if there is any paint that won't do this. | |

just strip it off and use some mid sheen or even silk on it but don't whatever you do is use matt on it | |

Agreed. Our bathroom doesn't have an extractor (and the landlord won't put one in). There was a shitty mirror cabinet thing that covered about 80% of the vent hole in the wall which I ripped off the wall after one of the doors fell off when my wife tried to open it before using the shower (the mirror glass shattered everywhere and she was VERY lucky not to have been cut by any of the glass!). | |

might not be an option but it would help o put an extractor in, we were having this problem and a fan is the only thing that totaly stopped it in the end | |

I used some anti mould paint as our bathroom (as with the rest of this house) is a piece of crap. | |

The ceiling was recently painted, 3-4months ago (used a polycell basecoat and vinyl top), and it has already started to flake and peel directly over the bath/shower area - guessing moisture has got to it. As the ceiling is going to get stripped and painted again, i was wondering what's the best paint to use for a bathroom ceiling? |
