    I would not plaster over a painted wall without giving it a key first and then pva it ...I doubt if yours is a long term fix ...as for bubbling ..normally overtrowelling

    You can't successfully plaster over painted walls. You either have to sand the walls or strip off the paint, otherwise any plastering you do will not adhere well and in a short time the plaster will start to crack and flake.
