Hi Experts / Professionals and Experienced Trademen,
We prepped the stone wall by removing most of the old wallpaper but it's an uneven wall. Once all the old wallpapers were more or less scrapped off, we then applied PVA glue and plastered the wall with just sand and cement which we mixed ourselves. We applied several coats until it was about 8-9mm thick and as it's an uneven wall, it's still not even and in some places it stands out around 5mm proud. Ignoring the fact that it's an uneven wall, we decided to clad the wall using the bathroom PVC panels with corner trims but noticed that the claddings were not really lined up with each other so we tried to take them off and only to find out we were taking some of the cements off with them as well
After complete removal (ripping) of pvc panels, the state of the wall is now horrendous and you can see some patchy areas and we could do with lots of wall fillers. Some areas will need at least 8mm of plastering. What would you use here to fill the gaps and smooth out the wall again.
After several days of thinking on how best to tackle the issue and surfing the net for possible solutions, we have found out the best way is using dots and dabs with 9mm plasterboard and the use of drywall plugs and nails or screws. This will save our time fixing the wall or not?
Can someone please out there recommend the best way forward? This stone wall is part of the bathroom so we will install the PVC Wall Panels again once the wall is sorted
We will post picture of the actual wall soon.
Regards,
Simon
