What type of plaster is on my walls?

[Couperin]

Hey All,

I'm new to this forum and would love to have some advise on whats on our walls in our spare bedroom (soon to be bathroom). I'll try to provide as much information as I can but let me know if there's anymore info you need.

It looks like there's a mixture of plasters on the walls as they're all different colours and as we want to change this room into a bathroom any advice would be amazing.

Walls = Solid brick no cavity and an external wall.

Thanks very much guys!

you can purchase plasterers in different colours. it makes no difference what so ever.
i would guess that the walls have been plastered at different times.

Hey Smoother09,

Thanks for replying. I suppose the only thing that worries me is mould and damp once we get a new bathroom done. There was a lot of mould on the walls when I stripped the wall paper back so I washed it off with Ronseal mould killer. Theres also a lot of cracks everywhere in the plaster....is this due to movement or moisture maybe?

Would it be best to go back to the brick work and build up from there? What type of plaster should be used?

Cheers

A good pva and skim is all that needs mate. No need to take the old plaster off unless it's blown, give the walls a knock in a few places and youl be able to tell if the plasters loose
