Hi guys
We have a 1945 semi and have extended the bathroom 18 inches.
Stripped everything out, old plaster skim damaged in places, patches back to brick and also where we extended.
Original intention was to rip all old plaster off and Marmox board, however the original won't even come off with sds chisel (unlike the rest of the house which falls off easily).
Even behind the toilet, where lumps came off with the tiles, what's left is hard to remove so we have patches back to brick but not a full area to board.
Therefore, it may be best to render exposed brick and stick within 20kg tile limit.
sand and cement seems best, can I use this to patch what's there?
I usually use hardwall but s&c is better for bathrooms but is it ok with what's there and the 1940s mortar/brick?
Thanks muchly for any help from those that know!
