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 |

Obviously getting it reskimmed nets a truer surface, but that will work I hope it well venitaled and/or insulated - cold simngle brick outer walls are a magnet for condensation. My walls are all painted where they arent tiled with farrow and ball matt emulsion.

Condensation on walls frequently plus water-based adhesive are not a wise combination. achieve "a classy, modern look"? You tell us, does your 1960s bathroom look classy & modern? (I suspect not.)

Bathroom paint advice please
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 [george] On Monday, August 19, 2019 at 9:49:08 AM UTC+1, Another John wrote: In article , wrote: On Saturday, 17 August 2019 22:09:08 UTC+1, George Miles wrote: 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.
