I am in the process of replacing my ensuite bathroon shower unit (doors only). In taking the old doors off 4 tiles have come off the wall, not a major drama as I wanted to re-secure the tiles anyway.
However, when the tiles came off so did the backing plaster(?) behind the tiles, right back to the sandstone wall behind it which is crumbly. I know pretty much nothing about this sort of thing and was looking for some advice on how to deal with this. I was quite happy to give the tiling a go (we've all got to learn somehow!) but I wasn't expecting this to happen too. A section of wall about 20cm x 10cm is now exposed. What needs to go over this before I can put the tiles back up?
Or if you think this is going to be a big job for a professional, how much do you think it's going to cost to get this sort of thing fixed?
Thanks for any help!
