The paint on my bathroom's artex ceiling is peeling off, how do I safely

1992 so I'm hoping it doesn't contain any asbestos...


Pretty much impossible to do properly, I'd say. *I'd suggest running
over it with something like a stiff scrubbing brush, which should shift
most of the worst stuff, then paint it and hope for the best

Yup. Once scrubbed, you could use some dilute glue to avoid more
coming off for a while, but it will one day. Don't use the glue too
strong, or you'll find repainting hard.
