A neat wall can look tired when an edge lifts, flakes drop near the skirting, or bubbles appear around a damp corner. Paint peeling is not only a colour problem. It usually means the paint has lost grip because of moisture, dust, weak preparation, wrong products, or rushed painting.

What Is Paint Peeling?

Paint peeling is the separation of the paint film from the plaster, primer, or old coating below it. It can appear as chips, curls, cracks, edges, flakes, or bubbles. On a peeling wall, paint may come off when touched.
