sand it then gloss it then emulsion hun, will be good as new, its just dampness through condensation

Sand down and use a proper bathroom paint which are designed for heavy condensation areas eg

Hope you get this sorted as I have excatly the same problem but in the en-suite and its nowhere near the shower either. will have a look at repainting soon

Sand down the patches especially at the edges, if the patch leaves an indent, then lightly fill, when dry lightly rub down, give the whole ceiling a rub down, you can either dab some diluted PVA on the filled patched areas, or use oilbase undercoat instead.
When dry, then buy the proper bathroom paint and paint ceiling as normal.
