A PROFESSIONAL decorator has revealed how to banish mould on your bathroom ceiling for good – and shared that the secret is buying the right paint.
Charlotte showed how she starts by removing the mould and peeling paint, before covering her clients’ ceilings in the Zinsser 5-in-1 ceiling paint.
Not only does this give their ceilings a fresh new look, but also helps to keep the black spots at bay.
And it's a super quick job, as she confirmed there’s no need to prime or paint over two coats of this.
In a new TikTok reel, she said: “Mould and peeling paint on a bathroom ceiling? Let me show you how I fixed it.
“Scrape all loose paint off. As you can see, this ceiling was never mist-coated meaning the moisture in the room separated the paint from the plaster.

“Then tape off your tiles.
“Any paint that doesn’t scape off, make sure to feather the edges so they blend into the ceiling better.
“Then for this job, I’m using Zinsser 5-in-1 ceiling paint. It seals, primes, stain blocks, covers and protects from future mould.
“Brush around the outside first, then follow with a roller.
