Replace bathroom drywall or repaint?
I noticed some mold growing on the bathroom drywall above the tiles and on
the ceiling. Is a good TSP cleaning followed with repainting a good solution or do I need to replace all the bathroom drywall? If I need to replace the bathroom drywall will I have to screw up the shower tiling to do it or does the drywall sit on top of a separate piece of wall behind the tile? |

I would just spray on a little bleach, mold is common in baths ,
probably no need to repaint, Just use an old spray bottle, fill with bleach and keep it handy, mold is common. |

It'd be a better idea to get rid of the cause of the mold, rather than just treat the symptoms as they appear. If there's mold in a bathroom, the bathroom probably doesn't have enough ventilation to get rid of the excess moisture. Another trick that worked for me, is painting surfaces in a bathroom with semi-gloss paint rather than flat paint. Moisture does not penetrate it like it does flat paint. |
