Anybody know how i can stop emulsion paint peeling off newly plastered walls in my bathroom? I suspect the high humidity is causing it.

Yep,Fit a fan!

Mine is doing this, i think i need to install a fan because at this time of year the walls are dripping wet with condensation after a shower!!,even with the windows open

Hi...Did you put a coat of watered down emulsion on the walls before any other coats to seal the plaster ?, also silk emulsion should be used in kitchens and bathrooms.

you need to seal the plaster using watered down emulsion or a propriatry sealer.

Then you can paint the walls but do use silk emulsion. Also make sure you have some ventilation by way of fan or better still open a window BEFORE you commence using the shower.
