Just been going over the job I need to do (fit new bath suite and retile), and a thought has struck me.
I fully expect when I bolster the old tiles off, some of the plaster will come of with the tiles. If that happenned, I planned to make good with something like hardwall backing plaster to restore the levels, then plaster on that. The problem I've got is that I only have a couple of days to do this, so I could only give the plaster about 24 hours before having to retile. I thought about going tile on tile, but the new tiling needs to go all the way up to the ceiling, where the old tiles stop halfway.
Any suggestions on what material I could use instead of backing plaster -
maybe I'm worrying too much, but ma in law invalided, so needs access to bath sooner rather than later.
