flaking paint may be from water damage, or a bad prep from painting. if you have access to the attic-go there first. and see if any water stains are visible. if visible you need to dry the area. fans help. scrape all flaking and loose paint off. when bone dry- paint.
Scrape, Sand if smooth and paint it again with an exterior paint. Humidity levels in a bathroom always make it require and qualify as an Exterior.
Many homeowners make the mistake of interior paint in the bathroom. Interior paint always peels.
“Kilz” paint should be your first coat to avoid the problem altogether.
Need to make sure you have an exhaust fan. Sand smooth and prime with oil based paint. Paint with oil based paint.
Sand smooth and paint with water resistant athroom paint.
Great, thanks
