Hi hollyanne, there is no need to reskim the walls. Where the emulsion is coming off all you should need to do is use a wide filler knife and fill the areas where the emulsion has come off. Leave it to dry then sand it down so that it's flat. It will be best to then give these areas a coat or 2 of thinned down emulsion, this will act as a sealer to stop the new emulsion drying out to quickly. Allow that to dry then lightly sand before emulsioning the whole wall. Make sure that you have got all the paste off the walls before emulsioning them. Otherwise you will get bubbles in the paint and they will look terrible. Good luck.
