I had a stucco like substance on my bathroom ceiling that was peeling and falling off. I scraped it all off and found a layer of pink paint beneath the stucco that also was peeling in many spots. Underneat the paint is plaster that has some spots. I have an exhaust ceiling fan in the bathroom but don't think it works terribly well. I am considering scraping the remaining paint off then filling in uneven spots and corners with spackling compound then painting over the whole thing again but I am concerned that the spackle will not adhere well in the spotted areas. Does anyone have any recommendations?
Answers:
Boy you sure are keeping yourself busy this summer with all these projects. What the heck if you have the time and funds go for it.
I would do the permanent fix by breaking up the remaining plaster and putting up blue board. Then seal the edges with fiberglass drywall tape and mudding the seams. Definitely change out that fan and make sure the venting leads out to the exterior of the house. Then paint with that anti-mold primer and a good latex paint.
You'll be much more satisfied doing it the right way as opposed to the patch method.
