Im assuming this has been done to death, but im actaully stuggling to find much, let alone a good debate about the pros/cons.
Almost all of my house (1940 council build) has been re plastered using PB and dot&dab which in the main works and is being left. No obvious signs of it having been conventionally plastered before. But im just wondering how common this is now conpaired to conventional (as per my parents house, 1980's build) and how durable it is.
Would the house have been conventionally plastered when new, and this removed before replastering?
The question stems from having gone to regrout some leaking tiles in the bathroom and ended up taking of the first foot of tiles and finding the bottom of the PB by the bath totally rotton.
Might bodge it for a bit, but in the long term the bath is going to have to come out i suspect and replaster and in wondering wheter to stick with dot and dab and just redo using cement board, or if to go to conventional plaster here.
