a bathroom ceiling. It's small, only two years old, well ventilated (extractor and window) but we can't stop one corner going mouldy. We've done it in good quality silk emulsion, but within a few months it's back. Zinsser?

Personally I'd just go and get a top quality trade white emulsion from the paint specialist anything of crown/leyland/ dulux etc.

IMH, clean the growth off with fungicidal fluid then paint with a paint for Kitchens and Bathrooms. It has more resistance to moisture. Ive used it in my small poorly ventilated shower and no signs of mold.

I would clean off the mould using some kind of anti mould cleaner/spray then coat the area with some oil/spirit based undercoat then some decent emulsion over the top.

That doesn't work either, tried that.

Move house? It's no help, but I can't think of anything other than diversions already made. Is it a colder corner? We have one, that always peels first, condensation gathers there, etc
