Yellow water droplets in freshly painted bathroom

[usn90]

I’ve recently repainted our bathroom with dulux bathroom paint, ever since then I’m seeing yellow droplets form
On the ceiling, any idea what this is?

The extractor fan isn’t very good, needs replacing, however the window is half open during showers

Use some good quality Matt emulsion on the ceiling and get plenty of ventilation in.

Simple as that,

Staining from previous water damage typically.

You know when a bathroom flood shows in the downstairs plasterboard and once dry it leaves a brownish mark where the water travelled? It's usually the same staining that the condensation on the bathroom ceiling is collecting from the paint and plasterboard.

The other possibility is that the previous owner of your home was a chain smoking, budget, Australian prostitute and it's the years of nicotine leaching back out. Don't ask me how I am aware of this specific issue, suffice to say the beige carpets transpired to be pink and the walls weren't actually magnolia but brilliant white.
