Best ready mixed plaster for shower room?

[bawbster]

Will be starting this in the next few days, removing peeling paint from the shower room, new skim of plaster and repaint. I'm a novice when it comes to plastering and want the ready mixed kind for quickness and ease of use. What would be the most suitable ready mixed plaster for a shower room.
I have B&Q,Screwfix and Toolstation within a 15 minute drive. Could use Amazon too, but seeing some of the tubs arrive damaged kinda puts me off.

Cheers

I'd use one or two boxes of toupret powder filler for many reasons.
Quicker drying.
Easier to sand.
If you are stuck on ready-mix they are all similar. Just pick one but I'm never keen on them

Be careful with ready-mix plaster if you intend to tile over, especially if to plan on large format tiles, it may not support the tile weight. I always use standard Bonding & Multifinish plaster if tiling over but appreciate this is difficult if you can't plaster. One coat powder mix, would be better choice in my opinion, it will be much cheaper than Redi mix, have a higher strength and takes much longer to go off.

Powder is much better to be honest. Think long term. Get it done right first off...

Honestly, mixing up the plaster is the easiest part of the job. Do it in small batches.

I'd only consider ready-mixed for small repairs or similar, not for a whole (small) room.

It's these stupid YouTubers demoing ready mixed and saying how easy it is to use.
I remember using ready-mix on a small hall with it slipping and sliding and pulling with drag masks.
Stuff that! I jumped in van and bought a bag of plaster and it was all done in hour.

I've also used a box of toupret to skim small rooms on a low price. Wang it on and flatten with a metal blade that's around 250mm or bigger.
Bodge a cheap orbital sander on a vacuum with 120 grade discs and even the roughest first timer skim job looks pretty good.
It's not really a skilled job.
Just crack on keeping skirting and edges clean ish as you go with damp sponge.
