Help Required please on removing patches

[Jason1]

Can someone please help! My parents had their walls plastered in the living room approx 3 weeks ago - they painted the walls after 5 days as recommended by the plasterer. The paint used was Crown Solo but after 7 coast the patches would not cover up. After a few weeks my parents decided to have the wall replastered by another plasterer, again they painted it after a few days but the patches are still visible in the same place. My father has tried saning and repainting but still cannot get rid of the patches. Please can someone advise on the best way forward before they spend waste any more money! Many thanks

It might help if you said what type of patches they were?

Patches as in parts where you can see the plaster underneath still?

If so I also have this but I have only painted a mist coat over and cant see why 7 coats would not cover it?

Anyway hope someone more experienced can help

Is this post serious??

7 coats of paint and then just got someone else to plaster it again?

As has already been said, why not get the original plasterer back, or just in fact ask the second plasterer about the patches rather than get them to re-skim a newly done wall??

If this post is correct, then your parents have no patience or far too much money. Therefore I would suggest that they knock the whole house down and start again from scratch

Failing that, tell us what type of patches (I.e. dark patches, lumpy patches, etc, etc) and you might get a bit more guidance.
