Very helpful video and thank you!! I just did my bathroom ceiling prior to seeing this video and was wondering if I had to skim coat it. I'm going to try this method instead. You list the type of paint used but what brand/type of PVA did you use? Tracey
How do you go about fixing the peeling tape that new houses have along all the edges of walls and ceilings? Every new house ive been in or lived in seems to suffer from it. A video on this would be great.
Omg thank you this is just what I have been looking for.. I have the same issue in my kitchen & I'm useless at diy but this looks manageable enough for me.
The paint has lifted off the whole of one wall in our kitchen-diner, leaving bare plaster. Thank for that video - I now know what I am going to be doing this afternoon!
@@JBTV Yes. I went to remove a piece of bubbled up paint using the scraper and the whole lot peeled off like removing damp wallpaper! This is a plastered brick wall. Just checking - one part PVA to three parts water? Peeled paint looks like it was vinyl, and there is a white powder when you touch the newly exposed bare plaster.
If you get flakey emulsion it's either moister so you air bricks vents and extractor. Also can be efflerlurance think that's it spelt it salts comeing out of the plaster you'll see a white powder in both the above cases scrap surfaces down and dust off wash down and use alkaline resisting primer its oil based and holds back either the flake or the salt deposited used this for years once sealed left to dry then re emulsion..
That's so strange. Because I've done exactly that. two coats of BIN and then emulsion paint and it's not even been two weeks! the paint started flaking off. I wonder if doing the BIN was a mistake! Now I'm thing of rather than emulsion using metal anti-corrosion paint. what are you thought on that?
@@payambreaker strange mate. PVA And BIN primer are the.professionals choice. Did u thin the PVA down well. It should be just like water. Also thin first.coat of.emulsion too. shouldn't Peel. Its worked for me for years. Sounds like theres been something on the ceiling that has reacted with the primer.
@@spinx1200 I'm really sorry for not having seen your reply earlier and thank you for answering my question. I've not done any PVA as it had already been painted before and the surface was not a porous plaster. So I assumed primer should seal it enough. What I have bought now is STOP PEAL from Zinsser and I'm going to sand all the flakes off first, then paint with Stop Peal, let it dry for 24 hrs, then use filler, sand it smooth, paint with Stop peal again and then paint with a different brand paint perhaps. Do you reckon this will work?
@@payambreaker hi mate. Ive.never uses stop Peel before but have read up on it as.such. normally.with.flaking paint as.in this video.it is sanded to kill rough edges and feathered in with paint. If youre gonna use fillers on your job I suggest fine.m surface fillers as itll be easier to sand and blend into old paint edges. Make sure the.sealer.and fillers are thoroughly dry before two coats of paint. Let me.know how you get on. Fingers crossed this will work for you 👍🏻😉🤞🏻🤞🏻
@@eezy251able I've seen YTV's use filler to flatten out the 'step' between the painted areas and the plaster finished areas. Guess it depends on what its like when you get off all the flaky paint.
Great video. My problem is no matter how much I try to feather the paint ridges with sandpaper, they never seem to go away. When I paint over them, they are still very obvious. What's the trick to doing that right? Thanks
Why do you use a wood PVA glue I wonder? I have a small area of peeling paint in my bathroom and a larger area in the conservatory and want to try this method before I paint it but am wondering if I have to use wood PVA glue or if regular PVA will do.
Hi Justin..I have an apartment in Athens, Greece..it seems every 2 to 3 years I hire a painter to repaint my bathroom ceiling. It gets very humid in that bathroom. What would you recommend for my circumstances, my ceiling is aerated cement. What products do you recommend so I don't have to keep paying every 2 years.
Hi Sako. Not really sure what would be the best thing as it's very porous. Could you consider having it skimmed? You could then apply plenty of sealant to prevent water seeping in. Lots of ventilation in the room is key though, do you have an extractor fan and windows in your bathroom...?
@@JBTV no theres no fan...ventilation all year round is difficult since I'm only there 1 months out of the year. The caretaker keeps the windows so it doesn't get too hot. Even then it seems like every 2 years the bathroom ceiling starts peeling off. Please help
Hay sako Get yrself a moisture/humidity extraction fan, it can be set to a preferred humidity level and is automatic 👍🏼 hope this is not to late to help
I think the same. I think when you use PVA or strong primer the paint takes all the moist and sort of can't absorb it to the plaster and that's when the paint gives in and starts flaking off
It's my living room ceiling that is chipping. All other videos say after sanding, spread spackle and let it dry, then sand that then paint. but it looks like I can use PVA instead which looks a lot simpler and quicker..
I rent a house where the deal is I have to pay for repairs. All I want to do is make an inexpensive repair with drywall mud because I don't know how long I'll be living here. I have some cracks in the ceiling above my shower. Could anyone please tell me the best drywall mud there is for a shower ceiling? Is there any that are more water resistant than others. I'll be using latex paint to paint over it. Thanks!
wait what?? PVA????? no dude no not in a wet area like a bathroom. PVA remains water soluble its entire life so as soon as the water vapour form your shower makes its way through the tiny holes in the paint surface (which of course it will) then the wood glue will just go back to being a wet mush and youll have to re do the whole lot.... this is terrible advice. my advice, use watered down SBR bond or zinnser peel stop or just pay someone that actually knows what theyre doing!
you should be using anti mould paint for first coat then high condensation emulsion paint for the second and third coat.. Your method of just regular emulsion will not work lad.
I was looking for a short but informative video. Your video was great. Thanks for sharing it.
Very helpful video and thank you!!

Thank you - this is exactly my problem, so great to find your advice so I can confidently work on it.
Confirmed what I thought - thanks for sharing.
What grit sandpaper did you use. Can I use 50 grit
The paint has lifted off the whole of one wall in our kitchen-diner, leaving bare plaster. Thank for that video - I now know what I am going to be doing this afternoon!
Great stuff 👍

Probably best to give it a couple of coats. Something like 1-3 will be good.
something is wrong if you lose the paint on a whole wall, sounds like poor/no surface prep (best case) or a damp problem (worst case)
Thanks Justin. How could the rest of the ceiling be protected from later peeling, prior to a couple of coats of fresh paint?
improve the ventilation in the area
Great Job Justin !

Cool video mate. After PVA try some B.I.N. primer on.tje bare plaster,Drys quick, then two top coats.of emulsion. Itll never Peel. 👍🏻👍🏻.

thanks dude, that was really helpful
Don't you need to slightly fill the voids after you've applied the pva or am I missing something?
depends what level of finish you want, it would need need to be skimmed for a perfect repair
@@yarpos Who would want a shit finish?..
@@eezy251able I've seen YTV's use filler to flatten out the 'step' between the painted areas and the plaster finished areas. Guess it depends on what its like when you get off all the flaky paint.
Nice job! Thank you for the info
Looks awesome!
I have the same problem but the ceiling isn't plastered it's just board. So will the PVA do the job or so I put a sealer on it?
pva is a sealer

@@johnauld1268 thank you

Hi justin, what grit of sandpaper did you use?
Probably 120, can't remember, but that's what I would recommend.
really ...do it right !

What is PVA you mix with water to prepare for painting?
Pva is a sealer for porous surfaces
@@JBTV is PVA the same as primer?
This information is a shocker- Do not! I repeat NOT use PVA as a primer before painting. There are suitable, specialist paint’s for the job.
100% agree
What is PVA and what pva does ? Can we use polyfiller and sand it later
Pva will seal porous surfaces, and allow paint and other products to stick to them.
Any wooden pva will do ??
Hi on another RUclips vid a couple of pros said to never use PVA
Well it works every time for me!!
I think the same. I think when you use PVA or strong primer the paint takes all the moist and sort of can't absorb it to the plaster and that's when the paint gives in and starts flaking off
Another pro, do not use PVA as a paint primer.
Chunks of plasterboard paper is puffy. I've removed it now. Can I PVA it? I'm thinking about pva's all the bathroom walls as it's inexpensive anyways.
Yeah go for it, won't do it any harm
It's my living room ceiling that is chipping. All other videos say after sanding, spread spackle and let it dry, then sand that then paint. but it looks like I can use PVA instead which looks a lot simpler and quicker..
It's almost the same thing but thicker. Good luck 👍
Justin what is PVA
It's basically white wood glue. It's used for sealing masonary and rendered walls
Poly vinyl acetate
It worked! Thank you!
how long do you need to leave the bathroom dry after painting especially if it was the whole ceiling needs to be painted?
In normal conditions I'd leave it a day before use
What does the pva do ?
It's a water based wood glue, used for sealing porous surfaces, also great for moisture sealing your bathroom ceiling.
I rent a house where the deal is I have to pay for repairs. All I want to do is make an inexpensive repair with drywall mud because I don't know how long I'll be living here. I have some cracks in the ceiling above my shower. Could anyone please tell me the best drywall mud there is for a shower ceiling? Is there any that are more water resistant than others. I'll be using latex paint to paint over it. Thanks!
I'm not familiar with drywall mud.....
@@JBTV Spackle
What is PVA? You're in the UK, so maybe some different practices from the US I guess. Thanks for the video.
No worries. PVA is white wood glue. Cheers Clint
Polyvinyl acetate Like the carpenters glue.
White PVA is not the same as PVA wood glue.
@@leew8812 without saying how its different, why bother
wait what?? PVA????? no dude no not in a wet area like a bathroom.

my advice, use watered down SBR bond or zinnser peel stop or just pay someone that actually knows what theyre doing!
What can I say, no problems so far!
Have to agree with you! 35 years experience in the trade, PVA as a primer for paint is poor advice.
@@JBTVKeep your fingers crossed 🤞
you need filler and peelstop added to this process.
Don't you suppose to wear some kind of eye protector when you do that kind of work ?
@Dan A Well !! That was helpful {not}!
@Dan A you are upsetting safety sally

Not regular emulsion.... A good quality bathroom paint, it's worked very well for me lad
