Bubbling paint

Hope Williams on Feb 26, 2015It appears that something, such as mold, underneath. You'll have to scrape and possibly sand it down. Bleach the walls/ceilings, then a kilz type primer, then repaint. It will be time consuming, but well worth the effort. Since it's under the paint, it's probably from the previous paint job not being done properly.Helpful Reply

Robin Cogan on Feb 26, 2015Hello Doreen - I have run into this before. I simply sanded the fall down with a power (rotary) sander with a mid-grade disc. You should be able to do a 10' by 10' wall in less than 10 minutes. I would then prime the walls before painting. Good luck!Helpful Reply

Lisa Daly on Feb 26, 2015This a recurring problem in my house, I have sanded down old pant, treated with anti mold/fungus spray, painted a coat of stain cover and finished with a bathroom vanilla, looked great for about 8 months and now I see the mold and blistering coming back, now I just spray everything with bleach to keep it at bay, don't thing those extractor fans are any good except for running up the electric bill. Never had a problem with mold in my last house which had big skylight windows.Helpful Reply

Doreen on Feb 26, 2015By basement bathroom doesn't have a window, dang! AND, I live in Minnesota so that wouldn't happen for a few months even if I did. I haven't seen mold yet...just bubbling and I have inspected everything. So, I am going to sand, prime and paint I guess. Thanks ladies for all your help!Helpful Reply

Marion Nesbitt on Feb 27, 2015Had paint bubble on me once when I painted latex over what was an oil based paint finish. Perhaps there is some kind of chemical reaction going on that is preventing bonding of old and new finishes.Helpful Reply
