Paint is cracking - dow do I treat and re-paint? I recently purchased a home. The entire upstairs was painted next...

I recently purchased a home. The entire upstairs was painted next to latex paint in a flat finish, which is not usually recommended for bathrooms or other high humidity areas. There are some amazingly small cracks in the paint in the bathroom, especially right subsequent to the shower. The exhaust fan appears to be in fitting working order.

My question is: how do I treat the cracking paint and re-paint the bathroom? Do I stipulation to sand the whole room and apply a primer? Any advice would be much appreciated!
About how much money?...(paint a room)?
Answers:    It sounds close to you have crazing or alligatoring or sort of a crackle look. My guess is that the latex paint shrank as it dried... or maybe the first coat hadn't dried plenty when a second coat was applied. If that's the case, next the damage was done impulsive on and it hasn't gotten worse in the time you've owned the house.

It's a tough problem because latex paint doesn't sand well, and if you paint over the areas, the texture will still be adjectives. You could use a heat gun to remove all the fruitless paint, but that's pretty extreme.

I had that problem in a dining room, and the painter sand lightly, and then used a diaphanous layer of spackle, just scraped on to teem the lines. Then he used a primer-sealer before painting. It worked resourcefully. The primer-sealer is a must, especially in a damp nouns.

I say "spackle," but that's gotten to be a sort of generic name for basically about any filler used before drawing. I suggest you go to a paint store and ask a knowledgeable personage (it might have to be a manager) what product to use. Often, if you wet your scraper next to water, the result will be smoother. Two thin coats are better than one sticky coat.

Peel off the cracked paint and definetly use a primer for kitchen and bath and prevents mildew. Then paint over it. Double check that lover too. Throw a piece of tissue on it. The suction from the fan should hold it. If not, it's not working and wants to be fixed or replaced.
