Hi All ,
I am looking for a bit of advice on this area where i want to fit a shower tray and tile the solid walls seen in photo.
I have already removed the loose plaster and re-rendered a scratch coat on.
Now the walls are still very uneven and to completely level them i need to fill more at the bottom of walls and feather it off going upwards. Some places towards the bottom i need to fill around 2.5cm.
Now my question is ,how thick can i render (in total )using sand and cement ?
Is there a maximum thickness in each pass ?
Do i need to scratch coat OR/AND prime between every coat ?
Can i tile straight over the last coat of render (after it fully dries of course )
Can i perhaps use bonding coat or another product to bring up layers then tank it using a brush on tanking kit (mapei ) before tiling over ? Or is bonding coat a complete NO NO ?
Any other recommendations tackling this job would be much appreciated
