Yes, steam can and will damage paint. If your bath does not have an exhaust fan, check into having one installed.
Steam from hot showers can indeed affect the paint on bathroom ceilings, particularly if proper precautions are not taken during the painting process. It is important to ensure that the paint used in areas exposed to steam, such as bathrooms, is specifically designed to withstand moisture and humidity. Using a quality moisture-resistant paint and applying the recommended number of coats can help prevent issues such as peeling, discoloration, or deterioration of the paint over time. Additionally, ensuring proper ventilation in the bathroom, such as using exhaust fans or opening windows, can help reduce the buildup of steam and moisture that can lead to paint damage. In the case of your bathroom ceiling looking like it only has one coat of paint despite applying two coats, the steam from your husband’s long hot showers may be a contributing factor. To address this issue, consider repainting the ceiling with a high-quality moisture-resistant paint and taking steps to improve ventilation in the bathroom to help protect the new paint finish. Regular maintenance and upkeep, such as periodically checking for any signs of paint damage and addressing them promptly, can help prolong the life of the paint in your bathroom and maintain its appearance.
