I have a ceiling in my bathroom that had textured paint on it.
There is an exhaust fan that is used everytime i take a shower.
After years there were a couple spots where the textured paint feel off.
I scraped the whole ceiling.
Then i patched the bad areas with joint compound ( there were alot of bad
areas )
Then i sanded & primed the ceiling,then painted it.
NOW there are alot of areas where the paint is peeling & cracking.
How can i fix this without redrying the ceiling ?

You must scrape the entire ceiling down to remove any loose paint.
Then use PRIMER for the first coat!

How long after painting did the peeling appear? How long after joint
compound did you wait to paint? Water based primer and paint?
Some issues that come to mind a
Wrong primer.
Primed too soon after joint compound.
Painted too soon after primer.
Moisture leak from above.
Ceiling wet when primed or painted.

I've done a good deal of painting. When I last painted our master bath,
I waited a couple of hours after showering, with exhaust fan running,
before I painted. Using alkyd semi, the ceiling was so wet that the
brush slid across without leaving any paint. I dried it well with cloth
and got another fan to blow it dry completely. All was well after that.

Hi,
How is the fan vented. To outside? Sounds to me it is a moisture
problem. Without fixing the cause the symptom will repeat.

First, textured cielings are best left alone as far as possible, in
days of yore, these textured finishes often contained asbestos. So
make sure you clean up really well now you have disturbed it. Ifit's
peeling it may be due to moisture. You need to dehumidify the room to
dry the cieling out and then paint immediately. You can hire a
dehumidfier if you don't have one.

I used Water based primer & paint.
I primed a day after i sanded the compound
I painted the next day.
The peeling came not to long after.Maybe a couple weeks.

I never had this problem before.
The last time it was painted with the texture paint was like 10 years ago.

What were these "bad areas" of which you speak? And what were they in?
Drywall? Did you use drying or setting joint compound? What kind of
primer?

You should have skimmed coated the ENTIRE ceiling with Easysand Setting Type
Compound or replaced the sheetrock..The residue left behind from the texture
causes problems for whatever reason...BTDT MANY times...HTH...
