This week we repainted a stained ceiling in a main floor bathroom. The stain was caused by water damage. The stain was about 12 inches in diameter. The damage was caused by frozen pipes in an second story bedroom. This is the procedure we did to repair the stain.
- A stain killer was sprayed over the stain. It was a quick-dry oil primer. The stain killer was sprayed from a can. The ceiling was a smooth wall texture, so an existing texture did not have to be matched.
- Two finished coats of latex flat paint were applied. The paint had been color matched to the original ceiling paint. The finished coats were applied to the stained area and feathered into the existing paint.
A 2 1/2 inch latex brush was used to apply the two finish coats of paint. Be sure to allow about three to four hours of drying time between the coats.
By color matching the ceiling paint, repainting the whole ceiling was unnecessary. Time and money were saved.
