How to stop my ceiling from peeling?

MaryJane on Sep 28, 2016Do you prep the ceiling each time? Try Kilz. You maybe had an oil base paint to start with than switched to a water base. They don't mix and that might be the problem.Helpful Reply

William on Sep 28, 2016May Jane is correct! Prep is the key. Prime with KILZ, BIN, or ZInsser. Use a paint that is made for bathrooms.Helpful Reply

Ljgordon on Sep 28, 2016The peeling paint must come off. Oil base primer can be t used for both oil based paint and latex, but you cannot put oil based paint over a latex primer. Oil based paint is a PITA to use , but I think it would be better than latex.Helpful Reply

Leah Lapish Samples on Sep 29, 2016Prime the ceiling, and make sure you use a "ceiling paint" made for bathrooms. This helps with bacteria, mold, mildew, peeling, cracking...Good luck!Helpful Reply

Bernadette Staal on Sep 29, 2016When I moved into my house the ceiling in my bathroom was a real mess so I got a professional in to replace the ceiling and it has looked fantastic ever since (15 years ago) so a bit of money well spent can go a long way.Helpful Reply

Judy Arden on Sep 29, 2016If previous mold was painted over it will just keep peeling off. You need to strip the ceiling down to the dry wall and then prime it with Kilz. Let that dry completely before painting with a good ceiling paint.Helpful Reply
