Step 1: Remove the blistered and peeling areas. If it’s caused by the wall filler, remove the old filler and apply a high-quality wall filler to patch it up.
Step 2: For localized blisters, scrape off only the affected area, smooth the edges, then apply primer and repaint. If the blister covers a large area, scrape it all off, wait for the wall to fully dry, and then apply a new layer of plaster.
Step 3: During the decorating process, follow proper construction guidelines, apply waterproofing at the base of the walls, and repair any cracks.
Step 4: Avoid painting during the rainy season. It’s recommended to use the same brand and product line of primer and paint for the best results.
What to do if the wall is peeling?
Peeling walls not only affect appearance but also create dust and sanitation issues. Generally, when addressing peeling, it’s best to handle it appropriately based on the specific situation.
Step 1: Remove the peeling areas and scrape off the old filler. Smooth the edges of the scraped area, then apply primer. The top layer of paint can be applied over the primer.
Step 2: If the peeling is severe, remove the wall layer and repaint with a surface treatment or primer.
Step 3: For areas with heavy peeling, dampen the affected section by spraying water, then use a scraper to remove the peeling paint. If no dust falls off, it means the original wall filler is of good quality. You can smooth the area with fine sandpaper and then apply primer and paint as needed.
