Looking for advice on the to best way to fix ceiling.
We moved in about 15 months ago. The townhome was built in the mid 70's. We noticed the upper-level tub had an access panel, and that is normal. Maybe 1-month ago we noticed the half bath under the tub and the ceiling had issues. When I looked at the issue plumber installed the tub trap and it was installed too low and the sheet rocker notched out the sheetrock. In the area in question, the sheetrock is soft as it is thin...I was thinking of scraping the lower peeling paint and then using stain-blocking paint under the tub (above the area that has issues) and the use stain-blocking ceiling below in the half bath. Then mud in the area around the tub drain to beef up the sheet rock. I am guessing the heat and moisture of the bathtub trap might be an issue Pros and cons? Another option I was thinking of is ship lapped ceiling in the half-bath area. submitted by /u/Tough_Budget9490 [link] [comments]
