You'll need to remove the peeling paint. Anything you put on top of the peeling paint is only going to bond to the paint that is peeling and not the wall.
If latex paint is put on top of an oil based paint without first using a latex based primer, the latex paint will peel off the oil based paint.
If you find that the paint is peeling in just the corners and along the drywall seams, then most likely the primer didn't bond to the joint compound.
If the paint is peeling all over the wall and leaving another layer of paint, the most likely latex was painted on top of oil based paint without priming first.
I've always used latex paint in bathrooms (oil paint is such a pain to clean up and has a very strong smell - you have to have proper ventilation when painting with oil and have to use smelly chemicals to clean it up). One exception might be to use oil on window trim in a bathroom.
You'll need to remove the peeling paint (a putty knife might work well), sand the wall, and wipe the wall down with a damp rag. Then use a good quality latex primer and paint (I like Behr paint personally). Count on two coats.Paint peeling off bathroom wall?
the poop smell is sooooo bad that it can peel paint.
Bathrooms are damp by nature. Hot showers, etc....
What kind of paint are you using? If you're using latex or any other water-based paint, you're going to have problems... or at least need to use a really good-quality primer.
Find a high-quality primer and then use an oil-based paint. Make sure each coat of paint is well-dried before applying the next.
Maybe it's just bad paint. If you didn't already, I would use a good primer first. Or just completely stip the walls of all paint, and then use a really good primer then paint. Go to Home Depot or Lowes and ask a professional what brands are best.
in bathrooms and kitchens due to steam and the room being exposed to water it is important to use a soft sheen rather than matt emulsion as matt emusion does not have a sealer which repells the water instead gets behind the surface use soft sheen
You probably are painting latex based paint over an oil based paint that was already on the walls. Get a good primer sealer and put that on first. Ask someone at the paint store about what to put on in order for the new paint to adhere
