I've used this on bare plaster on my dining room ceiling. The plaster had been up for several months but had a couple of hairline cracks. The paint went on easily and, after one coat, looked pretty good, with the cracks reasonably covered. It needed a second coat and I waited 24 hours before applying. On applying the second coat, the first coat peeled off in large areas. To say, I'm not happy is an understatement. What can I do now?

Thank you for your enquiry, we have contacted you directly for more information.

Hi. Can this be used straight onto bare plastered ceilings?

Yes, assuming the plastered ceiling is clean, dry, sound, with a moisture content of less than 15% and is prepared as detailed in the technical data sheet.

Can this be used in high humidity areas: bathroom and kitchen? Thanks

No, unfortunately this is not suitable, for application to walls and ceilings in high humidity areas, not subject direct water contact we can recommend Zinsser Perma-White Interior This is available in many RAL, NCS and BS colours in a matt or satin finish.

I have an Artex ceiling in a kitchen, it has been emulsion some years ago. Some emulsion is peeling and cracking. I have brushed and cleaned a test area and applied a coat of Zinzer Peel Stop to see what the effect is. Would you recommend this approach and then a coat of Zinzer Ceiling Pro?

Yes, these two products can be used in this way to provide a finished ceiling.

we have LED lights shining over our ceiling and it is showing up a lot of imperfections in the plastering. will this help at all?

if the imperfections are hairline cracks, yes this product could be used. If the imperfections are larger, repairs may be need to the ceiling prior to painting.

Will Zinsser 5:1 cover light grease stains on textured ceiling

We wouldn't recommend this, try cleaning with the Zinsser Universal Degreaser & Cleaner to remove as much as you can before applying Zinsser Ceiling Pro 5 in 1.

I want to use this product to cover hairline cracks in a bathroom ceiling but also want to emulsion over it with a different colour. The product sheet states that it does not mix with emulsion paint. Would an emulsion coat over it adhere properly?

You can overpaint the Zinsser Ceiling Pro 5 in 1 with a conventional emulsion provided the 1 hour recoat/overcoat time is followed. The other option would be for us to tint the Ceiling Pro to a pastel colour using our mixing machines. The colour will come up slightly lighter compared to a standard tint due to higher loading of white pigment in the Ceiling Pro.

ColourPicker Explained

In general we sort colours for products into 2 main groups - ‘Ready Mixed’ and ‘Tinted’.
Tinted colours will always be more expensive than Ready Mixed colours as they need to be produced at the time of order using a tinting machine dispensing colourant into a base*.
During busy periods, this means that tinted colours could take longer, for example – a ready mixed colour ordered on a 3-5 day delivery might arrive within 3 days, however a tinted colour might take the full 5 days to arrive.

To find Ready Mixed colours, search "ready mixed" or select the Ready Mixed 'colour chart'. To see Tinted colours select a colour chart such as RAL, BS, NCS, etc. or search for a colour/hue to see available or related options.

To ensure fair pricing, we split colours into ‘Price Bands’ to group together similar priced colours. If you wish to search for the cheapest tinted colours, always select Price Band 1.

We make every effort to list all available colours, however we also offer a colour match service which can be accessed by contacting our Technical Team on 0113 245 5450 (option 2) or emailing [email protected]

*Colours are sold in the nearest tin size but actual paint volume per tin may vary up to 10% depending on colour
