John,
I would strip the old vinyl wall paper, it and the glue could feed mould.

Use some Joint Filler or easi fill type of soft plaster to fix the dinks in the old plaster, its soft enough for sanding unike thistle multifinish.

Then paint on top.

But I dont want the paint peeling off with all the moisture, so maybe an expensive primer on the raw plaster?


But i'm not an expert on this, that's why im asking

Bathroom paint advice please

The walls are Multifinish Plaster
(over blue water resistant boards
(stuck over kingspan with firefoam))

Something that will stand up to splashes and steam better than emulsion..

thanks, George

the paints that cope with that better are gloss & eggshell.

I've got a further question on paint in bathrooms (I was about to post
it when I saw this thread appear):

I'm renovating an old (60s) bathroom: I need to do the the minimum
amount of work (too many other commitments).

Currently the bathrooms is papered with vinyl wallpaper. Can I strip
this off, put up lining paper, and then paint that lining paper to
achieve "a classy, modern look"?

Cheers
John
