That's because you didn't prime it, did you?View attachment 82369View attachment 82370View attachment 82371View attachment 82372Looking for some advice please. This is the wall outside our house it was built and rendered about 20 years ago. It was left as brown render for a few years then we had the brain wave to freshen it up by painting it, we are now stuck in a never ending cycle of doom where we rub it down and repaint it only for the paint to bubble and eventually flake off, it's driving us mad. We had a professional opinion (brickie/builder) who said we should knock it down completely and start again unfortunately I'd have to sell a kidney to be able to afford what he quoted! We have been told that the wall is built using concrete blocks and this is why the paint bubbles and peels but the actual wall and render under the paint is sound and hasn't bubbled, peeled or cracked. Would it be possible to render over the existing render with a coloured render I know there are various ones or would we need to take off the old render and redo it all? Are there any types of colored render you'd recommend for this situation? Or alternatively another way around it? Thank you
Thanks for your help. We were advised to prime it with a watered down PVA mix this doesn't seem to have made any difference. What would you recommend as a primer?That's because you didn't prime it, did you?
Primer, is what I recommend. Primer. PVA indeed. Why the FCUK would you....oh never mind.Thanks for your help. We were advised to prime it with a watered down PVA mix this doesn't seem to have made any difference. What would you recommend as a primer?

One of those rare occasions when Steve talks some sense.Primer, is what I recommend. Primer. PVA indeed. Why the FCUK would you....oh never mind.
I use EB mix in Primer but it might be too late now youve gone and waterproofed the render. You'll have to read uo on how it handles none porous surfaces.

Since the existing render is sound, you can render over it without removing it completely. First, remove all loose paint and clean the surface. Apply a high-quality bonding primer designed for old render to ensure proper adhesion. Then use a thin, polymer-modified or acrylic-based coloured render, which is flexible and less likely to crack or peel. Make sure the render or paint is breathable to allow moisture to escape, preventing future bubbling. Alternatively, a high-quality, breathable elastomeric paint can work if you prefer painting instead of rendering. This approach avoids the cost of full re-rendering while addressing the peeling issue.View attachment 82369View attachment 82370View attachment 82371View attachment 82372Looking for some advice please.
