Remove textured paint from bathroom wall? I have a textured paint on my bathroom wall. It is chipping...

I have a textured paint on my bathroom wall. It is chipping past its sell-by date with a smooth wall beneath. What is the best mode to remove it? Or if I try to patch over it, will the rest of the paint stay on the wall. I would like to work on this one myself if at all possible.

Thank You
Janet
Answers:    Textured walls are just similar to textured ceilings. A layman's residence is called popcorn ceiling. There is a tool you can use to remove textured ceiling: Go to Low3's or any hardware store and tell them you want the tool for removing textured paint. the tool have a long handle close to a broom. The end is made from metal and it's shaped close to a rectangle. You use a spray bottle filled next to water and spray the textured paint. Then you score the tool over the textured area and it removes the popcorn paint. There's an attachment used for ceiling that allows you to catch the paint surrounded by a bag that attached to the tool. You can probably use that to chafe walls as well.
Anyway, the tool make the job budge very at a rate of knots - probably 20 minutes to complete an area 20 X 20 foot.
If you wish to retain the textured wall, I'd use a scrub brush and turn over the area nearest the module that chipped off. Scrape away adjectives the paint that surrounds the area. There is also a paint sold at most hardware stores that can be sprayed over areas that own worn down. You can match the nouns very slickly with one of several commercial can of "popcorn" paint available. It's pretty easy to use.

Buy some of that spray texture stuff in a can from Home depot.
