Ceiling is flaking off in my bathroom skylight!

11/18/2015

It is common in a lot of bathrooms with poor ventilation. In this case, the moisture accumulated in the skylight and caused the existing texture to easily fall off in flakes. What I did was scrape most of the skylight (left) where the texture was coming off easily, then sanded most of the surrounding area so that there would be no blending issues. Once it was all nice and smooth, I prepped the area for texture and applied knockdown. (right)

Great post on dealing with a flaky ceiling! I noticed you mentioned insulation as a possible solution. As a loft boarding specialist, I've seen how proper loft insulation can help regulate temperature and moisture levels in the home, potentially preventing flaky ceilings. Have you considered loft boarding as part of your solution?
