About this deal

We always suggest removing the cracked paint correctly and applying a high quality primer before repainting. Fresh plaster has a very porous surface with many teeny tiny holes which will quickly absorb the paint if it has not been prepared properly first. Lack of Surface Preparation: When your paint surface is dirty or isn’t primed properly it’s prone to cracking and flaking even with a just a thin layer. By finding the signs of hairline cracking in your walls early on, you’ll be able to save yourself hassle and money in the future. Plywood especially can expand and contract depending on humidity levels, making it prone to cracks and flaking in the surface coating.

If the item is not required, please send the item back for a full refund in its original condition, unused with its original packaging.Paint failure, or paint adhesion loss, is the reduction of bond strength between a coat of paint and the surface to which it’s applied. Choose a darker hue like Breton Blue for the topcoat, and choose a base of Stable Gates again, or use a warmer brown undertone, such as Intense Chestnut, to show through the cracks. Some mention that it makes the cracks appear less noticeable, while others say that the crack can still be seen through the paint after two coats.

We will be happy to organise an exchange for the correct goods at no extra charge to yourself, please get in touch to organise this. Fortunately, it is possible to prevent your paint from cracking and achieve your desired finish if you prepare and apply the paint properly. This then offers up a very porous, thirsty surface and as the top coat sinks into the wall it has to work very hard to perform well, and this is why oftentimes paints crack. I want white walls and ceilings so this is perfect, but it would also be a good base for adding your preferred top colour. It may be a broken DPC, leaking gutter or just poor ventilation, but the potential problems include adhesion failure, blistering, flaking, promotion of moulds and staining.Where the crazing is really severe, it may be necessary to fully strip the wall down, apply lining paper and re-paint. We offer a no quibble 14 day money back guarantee for all goods shipped correctly that are not required.
