If new semi-gloss paint has been put on top of existing semi-gloss (no TSP or sanding done) will it peel off?

Our handyman just painted our bathroom without doing any prep work on the walls. He started painting without cleaning the walls or anything. He rolled on one layer of new Kelly Moore semi-gloss paint over the old semi-gloss paint from five years ago. Are we going to have a problem later with peeling or flaking? If so, how do we get this new layer off?If new semi-gloss paint has been put on top of existing semi-gloss (no TSP or sanding done) will it peel off?
I'd of cleaned the wall first, but that being said you'll be just fine. What else can I advise you on. . . use a ';professional'; as this is typical of handyman ethic and workmanship straight across the board.

It should be fine. I usually wipe the walls down first without TSP but I haven't had any trouble painting over semi-gloss with semi-gloss in the bathrooms.
