We replastered a corner of our bathroom last December and painted over it (Little Greene Intelligent Emulsion). The paint started peeling off about 3 months later. I don't know if it's because we put it onto new plaster (it had dried about a week though).
Being dunces, we flaked off the peeling off bits without sanding down the surrounding areas and just repainted it - so it just looks awful now!
I'd like to have a go at sanding it down and starting again. But could anyone advise me how to go about it?
Do I sand down the whole section of wall, or just the bits around the troublesome areas? And how do you sand? I just want the wall to look smooth again. I've tried to youtube it but not found anything yet.
