I very much appreciate previous advice, so I'd like to ask opinions on this. I have just discovered when removing the bath panel the mess the outside wall has been left in behind the bath. I know that walls are often left "rough" behind kitchen cabinets, etc. but is this acceptable (see pix)? Old tiles were removed from the wall and the plaster with them back to the breeze block internal wall.
Where the new waste pipe exits there is a very a large area around where even the breeze block has been left gouged out, although there is no actual hole where you can see daylight.
The bathroom is small and used to be very warm, even in winter. Now it's a trial to go in there because it's always cold even when the radiator is on 24/7.
Part of the reason may be the installation of an extractor fan on the weather wall which lets in the prevailing wind, but between the top of the bath panel and the bath rim there is always a fierce draught coming through.
Is the reason the bashing away of so much of the internal wall without replastering? Should it be replastered, which would mean temporarily removing the bath to get at the wall?
Thanks.
PS Sorry the pictures aren't that good. The gap between the bath and toilet is only about 45cm.
