Here are the steps on how to fix peeling paint on walls:
Prepare your materials. You will need the following materials:
A putty knife
Sandpaper (100-grit and 220-grit)
A ladder
Patching material
Rags
A scraper
A primer
Paint
Remove the loose paint. Use a scraper or 100-grit sandpaper to remove any loose, cracked, or peeling paint from the damaged area. Be sure to wear safety glasses and gloves to protect yourself from the dust.
Clean the area. Use a damp rag to wipe away any dust or debris from the damaged area.
Apply a patching material. Use a putty knife to apply a thin layer of patching material to the damaged area. Be sure to feather the edges of the patch so that it blends in with the surrounding wall.
Let the patching material dry. Allow the patching material to dry completely, according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Sand the patched area. Use 220-grit sandpaper to smooth the patched area and make it even with the surrounding wall.
Prime the area. Apply a coat of primer to the patched area. This will help the new paint to adhere to the surface.
Paint the area. Apply a coat of paint to the patched area. Be sure to use a primer that matches the color of the surrounding wall.
Let the paint dry. Allow the paint to dry completely, according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Enjoy your newly repaired wall!
Here are some tips for fixing peeling paint on walls:
If the peeling paint is caused by moisture, be sure to address the moisture problem before you repair the paint. This may involve fixing a leaky roof or window or installing a dehumidifier.
If the peeling paint is caused by poor adhesion, you may need to use a primer that helps to improve adhesion.
Be sure to sand the patched area before you prime and paint. This will help the new paint to adhere to the surface.
Use a primer that matches the color of the surrounding wall. This will help the new paint to blend in.
Let the paint dry completely before you use the wall.

As I believe my drywall is only covered in primer, do you have any suggestions for removing the old primer before a new coat of primer+ paint
I'm sure you've seen so many times when painters just paint or use a standard primer and then paint on fresh drywall. Without sealing it first, it never seems to ever get the right look to the paint. One additional step, that isn't really difficult or high cost can really pay off. Thanks for another great video!
OK, I've not seen that, and I though this lack of primer but going straight over drywall, even if you use primer is terrifying. I didn't realize people didn't seal as well
I primed and painted and both my bathrooms did the same peeling deal. Good thing the bathrooms aren’t that big. But dang it, it sucks balls having to do it again
Exact same thing happen to me. how did you fix it? What type of primer did you use? I would NOT use Kilz Kitchen & Bath - it did not stick to the dry wall.
@@brf351c I used a glue called peel stop over everything then primer again then paint. It was great this time!!!!! No more peeling. I think it had something to do with my drywall, I used greenboard so that could be a problem? It’s all good now!
Thank you. Great advice - I appreciate it.@@TineEdong
@@brf351c I used Kilz drywall primer (the greyish stuff) in my bathroom and seems ok so far.
My walls aren’t drywall they’re plaster or concrete (I’m not sure it’s an old nyc apartment). I think my issue is they just painted over oil paint with cheap water base paint. Should I use the same products?
they're probably plaster. Try using a bonding primer such a STIX or Sherwin Williams Extreme Bond
Old buildings all over NYC were covered with plaster (facts).
Concrete would be too heavy so unless it is underground the chances of it being concrete is thin (even if it were underground it could/should have been coated with something before painted) I would have to see it
Does it work with art paint too?
If the problem area is not the whole wall, but just where there was a small drywall patch, can I use this problem surface primer to glue the loose paint edges down past the patch border? Rather than ripping all the paint off that would otherwise bond fine?
I had contractors remodel my bathroom using purple drywall. Applied Kilz kitchen and bath primer - let it dry over night - then painted with a quality paint. Next day it started to peal off like wall paper. It's brand new drywall, sanded and clean. Not sure what I did wrong.
Maybe you needed to do a mist cost first?
Okay I have been working on the bathroom from hell. Hasnt had a lick done to it since the day it was built in 1979. I have been through the peeling 2 times now. First time just the ceiling, second time after I used just primer on walls, I had the ceiling AND the walls to contend with. Now, I am at a blank slate again. (good grief) I have fixed all imperfections, sanded, and took a horse hair brush and swept the ceiling and walls. I put on Gardz today 8-30-2024. I am going to give it 24 hours to dry. (mainly because I have had enough today) This Gaurdz stuff stinks so make sure you have a window open. And if you spill this liquid ANYWHERE, have a washcloth ready to pick it up as it dries fast.
So my question is, after Guardz I hae pirmer here and i see you say to in the video but its not like what contractors use, its "Kilz" kitchen and bath. I am praying this is what I am supposed to use AFTER the Guardz.(and then paint) I hope to hear from you. Thank you in advance. I cannot afford to get this wrong again as I will set the bathroom on fire.
0:35 0:44 This layer is paint, rather than primer ?? I have a painting project, i think my walls are ONLY covered in primer
Need to peel the entire wall off and start over considering that the Jack legged person did a lazy job
I would just peel it all, if its a small area and prime it. I dont know why people don't prime first especially with a gloss paint. It painting 101, folks! PRIME!
