What is the best paint to use for walls in hallways/stairways?

I have recently painted all my hallways and staircase walls with a dulux satin paint. it was over the top of a 'splattered' paint effect which was there when I moved into the house. Although the walls were cleaned before painting that is the only prep work that was done. Less than 6 months on i am already seeing lots of places where the paint has come off and to be honest it looks worse now that before it was painted! What can I do?? Is there a better type of paint?What is the best paint to use for walls in hallways/stairways?
use a good primer firstWhat is the best paint to use for walls in hallways/stairways?
prime the surface first before painting, or coat with watered down pva glue for a better bond. use a latex based paint.
If you are painting onto wallpaper try dulux emulation vinyl silk


if you are painting onto bear walls or woodwork try wickes gloss trade paint
If you are painting a hallway and stairs then you are going to get a lot of people going through them. form time to time there will be fingerprints and dirty marks which will appear just from everyday use. I would advise that in preperation you sand the wall areas down using a medium grade sandpaper and dont forget that the finished result will depend hugely on the preperation so make sure you dont skimp on the prep work. this will give you a good surface for the paint to bite onto. The best paint you want to use would be EGSHELL. this is a hard wearing paint and the finish is quite nice with a kind of satin look, added bonus is its extremely washable and meant for these kinds of areas around the house. Give it two coats for added protection leaving between 4-6 hours between each coat.
Did you primer the walls before you painted them? it sounds like you didn't do that,you have to start all over again and get some Kilz primer and then buy Behr (brand) semi-gloss paint and redo your walls, that's the only way to make it right.
You need to clean your walls with TSP first. Then apply a primer coat to seal it. Then apply your top coat. A latex paint will suffice-and clean up is much easier as it can be done with just soap and water. It's not the paint you were using. It just needs to be prepped properly and it will work. My husband is a building inspector and now does home renos, building, etc. I painted with him for several years and we have not ever had to go back and redo. Have a nice day. :)

standard emulsion will do the trick
