Restored an 80 year old art deco ceiling after watching this video...your are legend and all tje best to you.

[@uelrington9270]

Lots of people are not honest in these days!! absolutely agree with you !!!!! Good lesson for fixing ceiling , I had exactly same condition of ceiling !!

[@lydiabeharrell3350]

Just moved into a new place and landlord wasn't going to deal with a small patch i had in my room. Went to B&Q and followed your instructions and this has worked a treat! Thank you!!

[@thejazzyfizzle2011]

Legend! I'm going to attempt this and try to finally tackle my son's bedroom ceiling. I've been asking hubby to fix it for well over a year! I'll just do it myself 🙄🥴

Hey mate im a painter in Sydney and it's so nice to watch someone else working for a change 😉👍

[@meganmiller9982]

Thank you so very much! I work as a caretaker for a historic farm and the ceilings were an absolute mess. No longer🤙

[@mehranfreeman6192]

this called a proper job 👍 for a bit cheaper job , (for water based paints only) can mix wood glue with the paint (1/2 glue to paint) as primer then paint it .

[@bonnyjones7995]

You're the MAN!! Thanks Bill Show!!! Simple yet tricky!!

[@allisonwilliams3714]

Great video! Thank you, I'm in the middle of patching my 100 year old kitchen window sill and was worried I'd have to strip it clean. So glad I found your channel!

[@billshowto]

You’re welcome 👍

[@HoltMarkb]

Thanks very much mate - I need to do this as a neighbour above me flooded their bath about a year ago and caused a bit of bubbling and flaking to my ceiling and refused to pay for the repairs. This looks like the best and most economic situation - thanks again. I'm a new subscriber and will recommend your videos to friends - some of whom have just moved to new homes.

[@mazleytaz]

Thanks mate just saved me $8 grand on a whole new ceiling!!

[@kosmogoddess8973]

Once again Bill to my rescue. I'm repairing peeling paint in my bathroom and this product is going to save my paint job in the future. Thanks alot!😉

[@lieslnew8247]

Bill you are such a perfectionist. Thx so much for this vid. The tip about not worrying about how much old paint you scrape off was v helpful.

[@mariellestair6551]

Thank you for this video!! It has saved me so much money to hire someone to do my ceiling and walls in a small bathroom. The house was built in 1983, and ventilation was not a consideration in this house! You're awesome!!

[@mareewebber2233]

Thank you so much. Moved into a cute old cottage a year ago that has cracking and peeling throughout. I love painting and decorating but have never encountered this, so can’t wait to use these tips.

[@darrenparker3633]

Good job mate. I'm a painter and that was spot on. Could definitely tell the ceiling wasn't properly sealed before and sealing before applying any jointing compound is the way to do it so the compound sticks.....Subscribed 👌

[@myopicthunder]

I've already painted a big chipped section with sealer and top coat but didnt apply any jointing compound so can still see the lines of varying paint thickness, can I just sand the top coat a bit then apply jointing compound or should I apply sealer again?

[@4jacquelines]

I will be trying this way , he explains very well, it looks like a few hrs , what the Hell, Let’s do this!

[@rooboy99]

Glad I found this video today. A friend has this exact problem in his bathroom that was only re modelled 2 years ago. A big section above the shower is peeling badly. I thought it was due to dodgy paint work but I guess it was the lack of ventilation and the kids not using exhaust fan in the shower. Thanks again billy boy

I love your videos! I am a single woman with an older home (1958). You have really helped me to learn so much about plastering cracks. My walls are plaster and I have ceiling coves. I’ve got lots of cracks to fill as well as peeling paint in my laundry room.

[@billshowto]

You’re very welcome 👍👍👍

[@robfabbretti632]

I'd just have mentioned that not all plaster compounds are suitable for wet areas so always check the label. Nice video & exactly how I do my jobs

[@kingcandy4809]

Thank you Bill for explaining what the paints and primer are used for very helpful

[@SheilaSpencer1]

Just wondering, would the equivalent of Aquablock for us USA folks be Zinsser's Gardz? That's what I've used with damaged drywall and situations like this ceiling. Actually exactly like this ceiling at the moment; it's a work in progress.

[@samsno3667]

I like your straight and honest "day's" work; here in the US of A ... I don't know what we have but have researched it such that what I'm looking for is a binder/glue/sticky stuff. I definately cannot scrape all the paint off the bathroom ceiling and when I paint the ceiling, the ceiling starts to "flake". Probably due to ceiling moisture damage from steam during showers. Anyways.. nice job you're doing.

[@lestalkmorebasss]

Glad I found your video!! I’m a handyman and today I got a call about a bathroom ceiling in a very similar condition 👍🏻 cheers

[@billshowto]

You’re welcome 👍

[@jeffbooth2194]

Thanks for the video. I am working on my bathroom ceiling where there are flakes and bubblings. struggling to scrape all the old paint off. Glad you showed that I do not need to scrape the full ceiling. I'll try the aquablock ill think it will save so much time.

[@tims3367]

Top f’ing work mate. Am renovating my house and having a quality aussie YT channel like this is, is providing me some absolute gold

[@hutchjnr1]

Exactly! It's so annoying with most of the other videos being from the U.S or overseas somewhere else and the products they use/suggest we can't even get here! Lol. Not to mention the terms they use... I end up being more confused than before I started!

[@nialld1622]

Nice one. Doing this right now to a bathroom ceiling. Great info, thanks.

[@KK-qi6mt]

Great video. A possible extra tip so this won’t happen again would be to paint the ceiling after all of the repair work with an external paint. This way the steam won’t penetrate and flake the paint so easily in the future and you can wipe the ceiling down easier. It will take longer to dry using an external paint in the house but in wet areas and may not look as good bc it has a sheen to it but will give the ceiling good protection.

[@TinekeWilliams]

That’s a great hint! Thank you!

[@robertgale8243]

Thank you so much for this video! I have this problem in my bathroom and now I know what to do. Much appreciated!

[@russelblackwell6041]

you are a legend love your work how you explain things some dodgy tradesman who dont believe in primer cant be stuffed use some left over ceiling white somebody else has paid for the old peeling paint in the bathroom trick MAX

[@gsadlerdavid]

Great Tip thanks Bill, this is a fundermental painting trade secret.

[@bigcountryaus]

Thank you mate. Been looking for a video like yours for a few years. Have a bedroom with flaking paint on the walls, cause from portable evap in closed room for years. This has answers all my questions.

[@billshowto]

You’re very welcome 👍

[@georginagrace9118]

Thanks so much! Fresh paint peeling off caused me anxiety but I feel confident to sort it out now. Thanks for your help much appreciated and references for sealer for uk too very informative video.

[@dustman96]

I'd say the most common reason for paint peeling is improper application. Paint needs to be worked into the surface. Most painters just cover the surface. A few extra strokes with the brush or roller can make all difference.

[@garygoldstein6023]

thanks - still relevant after 4 yrs

[@billshowto]

You’re welcome 👍

[@tonyp9601]

Nice tape. Might want to mention what's good for that so they don't peel chunks of wall paint off. Nice to know Aquablock works. Cheers.

If I wouldn’t have know you had this super helpful KZbin a year ago. I could have fixed the peeling paint on my bathroom ceiling in my old rental place. But, I will use these tips in my new house when this happens in the future. Thanks 🙏 Bill

[@KCBRYAN_1525]

This stuff is good for putting over wallpaper if you can’t remove it because of damage to you’re walls that just ain’t worth the trouble.it will penetrate and bind the wallpaper down so you don’t get any wrinkles from the underneath paper that’s been sealed

[@sallymckenzie5985]

I know this is 3 years old but am hoping you can answer. We have a mould problem in our bathroom and I was hoping to use a mold blocker paint. Would I use it over the Aquablock? This was the best video! Thanks for taking the time to make it.

[@billshowto]

Hi, I wouldn’t be to concerned about using mold inhibiting paint. Rather the focus should be on ventilation in the bathroom. Make sure the exhaust fan is working and large enough for the area also try opening windows during the day to help with ventilation 👍

[@tomroberts6934]

Thanks for the video, I’m a bit jealous of the heat you have there!

[@PizzlesTechTime]

Thank you for the video here's a tip when you fast forward put a little music and turn down the volume so it's not just beeping and clashing.. either that or just turn the sound off. Most likely someone's going to stop the video or fast forward it past that part with the audio like that

Perfect timing as always Bill, I have a section in the kitchen just like this caused by steam from the kettle. Thanks to you I can now take care of this issue, Thank you. 👍👍👍

[@LeSkateWA]

Your videos are spot on. For me id use Dulux 3 in 1, a better brush and Stanley knife/gap fill across the window. Also taping walls is a bit risky sometimes.

You can get all Crommelin products in NZ except Aquablock. I used Dulux I step, its not a Binder though and does not do as good a job. I think you mentioned Dulux Precision, found it is oil based, so gave it a miss.

Zinsser peel stop is another good one 👍

my wife and i recently painted fresh drywall with paint/primer in our basement under directions from our local paint counter now the paint is easily scratched and i have been doing a bit of research everything i have found says to sand back down to drywall and star over using primer sealer then repainting, i guess my question is how can i skip sanding my whole basement and ending up with regular well painted walls.

it would have been nice to know the grit # of the sand paper and if you were using premixed joint compound or bag type compound stuff. most of use need that extra bit if info! Thanks much Mate!
