How to repair a peeling bathroom ceiling with PVA wood glue 

Great, good luck

Great stuff 👍

@@JBTV Yes. I went to remove a piece of bubbled up paint using the scraper and the whole lot peeled off like removing damp wallpaper! This is a plastered brick wall. Just checking - one part PVA to three parts water? Peeled paint looks like it was vinyl, and there is a white powder when you touch the newly exposed bare plaster.

Probably best to give it a couple of coats. Something like 1-3 will be good.

something is wrong if you lose the paint on a whole wall, sounds like poor/no surface prep (best case) or a damp problem (worst case)

improve the ventilation in the area

Probably 120, can't remember, but that's what I would recommend.

pva is a sealer

That's so strange. Because I've done exactly that. two coats of BIN and then emulsion paint and it's not even been two weeks! the paint started flaking off. I wonder if doing the BIN was a mistake! Now I'm thing of rather than emulsion using metal anti-corrosion paint. what are you thought on that?

@@payambreaker strange mate. PVA And BIN primer are the.professionals choice. Did u thin the PVA down well. It should be just like water. Also thin first.coat of.emulsion too. shouldn't Peel. Its worked for me for years. Sounds like theres been something on the ceiling that has reacted with the primer.

@@spinx1200 I'm really sorry for not having seen your reply earlier and thank you for answering my question. I've not done any PVA as it had already been painted before and the surface was not a porous plaster. So I assumed primer should seal it enough. What I have bought now is STOP PEAL from Zinsser and I'm going to sand all the flakes off first, then paint with Stop Peal, let it dry for 24 hrs, then use filler, sand it smooth, paint with Stop peal again and then paint with a different brand paint perhaps. Do you reckon this will work?

@@payambreaker hi mate. Ive.never uses stop Peel before but have read up on it as.such. normally.with.flaking paint as.in this video.it is sanded to kill rough edges and feathered in with paint. If youre gonna use fillers on your job I suggest fine.m surface fillers as itll be easier to sand and blend into old paint edges. Make sure the.sealer.and fillers are thoroughly dry before two coats of paint. Let me.know how you get on. Fingers crossed this will work for you 👍🏻😉🤞🏻🤞🏻

@@johnauld1268 thank you

Hi Sako. Not really sure what would be the best thing as it's very porous. Could you consider having it skimmed? You could then apply plenty of sealant to prevent water seeping in. Lots of ventilation in the room is key though, do you have an extractor fan and windows in your bathroom...?

@@JBTV no theres no fan...ventilation all year round is difficult since I'm only there 1 months out of the year. The caretaker keeps the windows so it doesn't get too hot. Even then it seems like every 2 years the bathroom ceiling starts peeling off. Please help

Hay sako Get yrself a moisture/humidity extraction fan, it can be set to a preferred humidity level and is automatic 👍🏼 hope this is not to late to help

@@sakojanessian4938install a bathroom fan to move the air out of the bathroom that most likely is your problem

It's almost the same thing but thicker. Good luck 👍

Yeah go for it, won't do it any harm

Pva is a sealer for porous surfaces

@@JBTV is PVA the same as primer?

depends what level of finish you want, it would need need to be skimmed for a perfect repair

@@yarpos Who would want a shit finish?..

@@eezy251able I've seen YTV's use filler to flatten out the 'step' between the painted areas and the plaster finished areas. Guess it depends on what its like when you get off all the flaky paint.

In normal conditions I'd leave it a day before use

It's a water based wood glue, used for sealing porous surfaces, also great for moisture sealing your bathroom ceiling.

Any PVA will do

@@jackofallsales4535 Thanks for that.

Pva will seal porous surfaces, and allow paint and other products to stick to them.

Any wooden pva will do ??

No worries. PVA is white wood glue. Cheers Clint

Polyvinyl acetate Like the carpenters glue.

White PVA is not the same as PVA wood glue.

@@leew8812 without saying how its different, why bother

Well it works every time for me!!

I think the same. I think when you use PVA or strong primer the paint takes all the moist and sort of can't absorb it to the plaster and that's when the paint gives in and starts flaking off

Another pro, do not use PVA as a paint primer.

I'm not familiar with drywall mud.....

@@JBTV Spackle

It's basically white wood glue. It's used for sealing masonary and rendered walls

Poly vinyl acetate

100% agree

Just shut your eyes!

@@Shobayd Well !! That was helpful {not}!

@@Shobayd you are upsetting safety sally

What can I say, no problems so far!

Have to agree with you! 35 years experience in the trade, PVA as a primer for paint is poor advice.

@@JBTVKeep your fingers crossed 🤞

Not regular emulsion.... A good quality bathroom paint, it's worked very well for me lad
