Hi Sylvia. For a paint job to be done really well you must use a paint scraper or sander to get the peeling paint off. I suspect the reason itās peeling is because of moisture. If you can put in a good bathroom fan or open the window when you take a shower. Or even place the fan in the bathroom to push the moisture out of the room.
A primer for more wet areas can help too. Ask your paint counter person for help.
Thank you Judy, yes it is from moisture!!

Scrape off the loose paint. Use 200 grit sandpaper or a sanding pad to sand and feather the edges of paint that won't com off. Prime with Kilz primer. then paint with a quality bathroom paint. Sanding with a power sander will clog up the sandpaper fast. You can also sand right through the drywall paper making more work than you need.
