What type of plasterboard to repair wall

[imk]

Hello

I have a brick wall that has been plastered in the normal way (bonding and finish) problem is that the wall had a radiator on it and the plaster has lifted off in an area of 1.5m*0.5m. Now the radiator has been moved to another wall and won’t be going back to the original wall so need to repair this damage area of plaster.

Should I try to bond and skim it as I am crap at plastering and local plasters don’t want such small job.

Or can I use some metal backed plasterboard I have and glue or screw it to the wall and then give it a skim.


Many thanks

I'd say bond and skim, always better to have the same materials as they are less likely to crack.
