Have some builders in at the moment installing an en-suite shower in a very small former boiler cupboard, which is located between a bedroom and a bathroom. There is a thick layer of plaster which I wanted to remove to save space, and replace with 8mm PVC panels directly on the walls.

Problem is the plaster is tightly bonded to the internal walls which are quite thin and brittle. Is there a tool, eg an angle-grinder which could remove plaster without the need for hammering? The wall is 70cm wide and 240cm tall.

Builders have said it's difficult to remove the plaster without breaking apart the wall, but I would like to know if it's a fair ask! Please see pics.
