Default Bathroom paint problem

Following the refitting of the bathroom, a slight issue has arisen -
the current paint in the bathroom is some awful thick bathroom paint,
and where tiles have been removed (around a massive _ hideous vanity
unit that is not being replaced, now we have a nice pedestal sink)
there is bare plaster which creates quick a noticeable "step" between
the paint and the bare plaster. Now there is just the one coat of paint
on these walls, and good chunks of the paint around where the tiles
were can be just lifted off to expose pure bare plaster. In other areas
of course the paint sticks like glue. The trouble is just painting the
wall will leave the outline of the bare plaster visible. Husband is
suggesting peeling off all old paint on two walls, but I can see this
rapidly beoming herculean task that once started must be finished. The
area where the tiles were isnt too big - anyone got any suggestions as
to ways to hide the difference between painted bare plaster and painted
thick bathroom paint? Retiling not an option - layout has changed. Hope
this makes sense!
