Hi All,
In my bathroom the original 1930's tiles have been rendered onto the walls. I'm in the process of removing them (I couldn't tile over the top, I need the space to squeeze a bath in).
The render was applied in two layers, and for the most part, chipping the tiles away is taking off the top layer of render and leaving the base. However, there are areas where all the render is coming off and we're down to the brick or breeze (internal walls are breeze, external wall is brick).
I'm intending to use a base-coat plaster to flatten off the wall to level with the base coat of render, and then retile the whole lot floor to ceiling.
However, i'm bewildered at the array of different types of plaster, and am hoping someone can recommend a suitable one.
Local builders merchant sell Thistle - we have a choice of Browning, Hardwall, Bonding coat and Dry coat.
i've no idea what I need. Would any one of them be good enough to stick to both common brick and also breezeblock?
