Home owners from all over India, call & email ContractorBhai.com regarding their queries about renovation. When it comes to Renovation – one common concern people have is that “Does wall paper stick on a wall with old Paint ?” So if your wall was painted few years back, now can i right-away apply wall paper on it ? And what if paint has chipped off from some places, can i still put wall paper on top of it ? ”
Well, It is a painted wall, that means the primer coat has been applied and then the wall must be painted. Do not worry for the paint coming out from places, because this can be rectified by applying primer coat again at chipped areas. Now the wallpaper can be installed to your wall. What is important is the primer base, which we surely take care of. There is no headache of getting the paint removed or sanding the wall again.
Even if your Wall has some Glossy Paint, don’t worry for that too. Be it luster, glossy, plastic or oil painted wall, wallpaper can be installed to any kind of painted wall. The wall needs to be primer coated before painted. Primer acts like a base to wallpaper which doesn’t absorb water. This property of primer helps wallpaper to be installed easily.

Hi I’m living in a very old govt quarter walls have leakages due to which wall paints come out even after applying putty. Can applying wallpaper help. And will wallpaper stick to it
Since this is not owned home, but you want to live inside for quite long, so here is the advice. if there water leakage problem, use cement board sheet or bison sheet. These sheets are liek plywood sheet but are made up of cement. Do not spend money in painting or wallpaper, as they will not hold for long. Other option is to do wall tiling use low cost tiles, but instead bison sheets can simply be screwed to the wall & it can be simply painted in colour of yoru choice.
I have done cement sheet wall panelling on walls. Can I directly apply wallpaper on cement sheets ?
Or do I use primer and then wall paper ?
Is it necessary to do the entire pre-painting process (scratching the walls, putty, lambi etc and then apply primer on the cement sheets ?
I am totally confused.
Please advise.
You have to discuss this with your contractor but from our understanding, cement sheets are factory made using advance machines, hence they have fairly good finish. May be thin putty layer can go on cement sheet. However most cases where instead of fixing actual water leakage one is applying cement sheet, I think directly painting or applying wallpaper will suffice
