Mould Fix?

chickenboy

I'm currently experiencing mould issues in the bathroom of the flat I rent. Despite the property being managed and the bathroom being inadequately ventilated, the letting agency is putting the repairs on me, so I'd like a cheap fix. Some photos are attached; the mould is only on the ceiling paper, and not on the plasterboard underneath.

Is there an easy way to sort this? I'm fairly handy, but have never had to deal with ceiling paper before. Should I tear it down and replace it? Or is it an option to clean the mould, followed by an application of mould paint and ceiling paint to replicate the texture?

thanks in advance!

Use a mix of 3 parts water and 1 part vinegar (spirit vinegar) and spray on affected area and leave for 15 mins. Then re-spray and wipe. You may need to do this a few times. Apply adhesive to the paper where needed and paint. Sometimes an oil based white undercoat (for wood) is a good first coat to stop the stain coming through.

Sweet thanks Mick. Any adhesive in particular?
