I've been given the task of refitting our bathroom with new tiles/suite. I've removed some of the old tiles but in some sections its removed the top skim of plaster, but other sections (some 12" x30" oval) its removed all the backing plaster back to the original brick wall. It looks like the backing plaster was a good 12/15mm. Couple pics below (I will be removing all the tiles in over the next couple days)
I'm just wondering what the best method to repair this is. Two routes I think (with questions)
1) Repair the plaster using bonding/one coat? back so its all level again. My only issue with this is I think it will be 2+? weeks before I will be able to tile on it due to waiting for it to dry out. If I used bonding plaster would I need to pva the brick/existing plaster?
2) Plasterboard over the existing remains using dot and dab and then tile directly onto the plasterboard (or does it still need a plaster skim?
Cheers for any advice
