Bathroom Wall Problems

I am a DIYer that has attended courses and happy to 2 coat a wall and produce a reasonable result.

I have a Bathroom wall that has had the tiles stripped off and left with a combination of breeze block, render, 2 coats and tile adhesive. All loose has been removed. I want to get back to a flat finish.

My thoughts are stabilise and seal (PVA?), hardwall, render and 2 coats. I am probably wrong and would be grateful on any advice you can give- i.e. how you would do it?

Thank You - Nick

If you got to ask don't do it if you want a good finish tbh. Unless it's all being tiled floor to ceiling then crack on
 
I might be wrong, but hardwall shouldn't be applied over PVA , it wants a physical grip , I just wet down area accordingly
 
Do yourself a favour if you have the depth then board and tank as @windy said

I said bonding not softwall !!!
 
Do yourself a favour and board it. You want it as flat as possible for tiling. Tank any wet areas or hardiebacker.
