Hi all, I have 2 questions that I'm hoping you can advise me on.
Q1. Taken artex off wall and noticed some blown plaster, knocked off area's blown back to solid wall and wanted to know where to go next. What to bond the wall with SBR or PVA or any other? Then what to use as first coat, sand and cement or bonding. The wall at present varies in thickness from about 10mm to 20mm.
Q2. I also want to tile a cloakroom, I have three quite flat walls which are plasterboard but one that is plastered. The plastered wall is at least 18mm out from mid wall to top. Was thinking of taking off the lower half of the wall to bring level with the top. Didn't want to increase top half of wall height because I would have to reroute pipework. Any ideas or suggestions greatly appreciated. I unfortunately can't afford a plasterer or any other tradesman to carry out work so will have to do it myself. I am reasonably handy with most things but never tried plastering so thanks for any information. Attached some pics of cloakroom and stairs if this helps.
