hey folks

i moved a sink and there is balck stain/mould type stuff on the wall behind where the sink was
this room will now be a bedroom and worried about the wall stain/mould stuff
can i paint over it? or is it a rip out the plaster/plasterboard job?

tried to get a pic with my fone but i am useless with technology and cant!

hard to say giggles, need to know where the mould is coming from, more than likely just a condensation/moisture problem.

any signs of damp? external wall? if you wash it off does it come back? is the paint on the wall silk/vinyl?

no sign of damp... wall not painted behind were sink unit was
was going to paint over it and see if in time it comes through
the paint or any signs of change with it
does that sound like a plan of action?
i have scraped it off and just left with discolouration

give it a good scrub with a 50/50 mix of bleach and water..should get rid of any remaining mould/spores.
Rinse thoroughly then when it's dry emulsion over..
