Bathroom Ceiling Is Splitting and Peeling |
|
|
My bathroom ceilings are peeling and it looks like they are cardboard and splitting. Can I just finish pulling the paper off and sand and then fill in the cracks? What can I do myself to fix this problem and can it be fixed?

Is there a window in the bathroom? Do you have black spots too (mold?) You are getting moisture. Check to see if anything is leaking from the floor above and make sure that after using Killz or an equivalent (Loktite) that you paint with a mold reducing paint or put a mold reducing additive in the paint.

If this is the same as ours was due to no exhaust fan being in the bathroom, we installed a fan, but we sanded the ceiling down, then put two coats of "Killitz" found at hardware stores. Then just to be on the safe side we put two coats of primer on before we painted it and it looks great and has held up well.

you should consider if you dont already have putting in a exhaust fan. if you already have the green water resistant jiprock then you can sand and make sure to paint with bathroom paint. if not you might want to consider changing the jip rock to the one that is water resistant
