Bathroom Nightmare

[Jammyb90]

Hi All,

Any help with my bathroom renovation would be appreciated. I have removed old plaster down to the brickwork. The brickwork is concerning, a lot of the mortar has crumbled away and below the window the bricks are completely removable. I need to build the plaster out on the left of the window by a good few inches and build all the plaster out around the bottom of the bathroom wall to bring level with the old plaster. I've already started smashing PVA on the walls or would it be more advisable to dot and dab plasterboard. Also read a few things saying easi-fill might be a better option for the window. Any advice or suggestions would be amazing. Cheers

Hello


Looks like a solid wall construction, to be expected that some mortar will be missing once old plaster has gone.

I'd re-mortar any loose bricks, like the ones under the window.

If it is solid brick wall, perhaps you could think on insulating it. It will be warmer and if you bought insulated plasterboard, this can be dot 'n' dabbed. I would put a few fixings in for good measure.
The window reveal, could be built up with insulation boards (or plasterboard layers with plasterboard adhesive) finished with plasterboard once you've got the thickness you want, staple on an angle bead, and your ready for plastering.

PVA is good lob on, it will seal in dusty surfaces for better adhesion.

Good luck.
