Patching Render/Pebble Dash ?

[WhiteVanJack]

Hi,

I have several areas of a pebble dash wall where the render and pebble dash have fallen away. I intend to paint the wall with masonry paint but before doing that I wish to patch the areas that where the render/pebble dash is absent. Could anyone please advise me how I go about this, bearing in mind that I have never worked with mortar mixtures before? Is it something that I can do as an absolute novice or should I seek the services of a plasterer/renderer?

I have uploaded a couple of pictures below for 2 of the areas but there are probably 5 or 6 more areas perhaps not so large as those in the pictures. To view the picture full size, just click the image.

Do more research on here and screwfix forum ref. rendering and patching in.

Is that a joint between two panels or a crack?
