How to fill Hole behind cooker socket in kitchen?

[Nickynoo]

We have just had new kitchen put in and will be having it re-tiled shortly but after taking tiles off the wall, there is quite a large gap around the edge of the cooker socket.

Our tiler has suggested we fill it before he tiles the wall as the tiles will need a surface to stick to (sorry for the amateur language!)

Any ideas how we do this and what do we use?

Send a pic & is the wall socket area Gyproc or Solid Plaster ?

I've found that "lightweight" filler is ideal for these sort of jobs, as you can fill to a deep depth, without slumping.

Red Devil is the original, but I've used travis perkins own brand & had no problems with it.

Good Luck!
