I have started stripping back my bathroom. The room was previously completely tiled, but on taking off tiles, the plaster appears to be the original plaster (100 yrs old), where when you remove the top surface, underneath is completely crumbling away. Where the plaster has not been disturbed it appears to be in good condition.
I have only removed two tiles, but this is making me worry now. If more of the wall (or vast chunks of it) come away with the tiles, What can I do to the wall as a quick (and cheap) fix to get a tile-able surface? I am using a product called "no more ply" on the floor, which is a waterproof cementboard, it also says its ok on walls. Could I use this, adhered to the old plaster?
Or is it shovel time?! The no more ply also states it is ok on bare brick providing everything is primed first - but if I was taking the wall back to brick I would take the opportunity to build a stud frame and insulate - it is a solid double wall, thus very cold and prone to condensation.
