whatever it needs with bonding but sod waiting a day add a bit of cement and skim an hour later job done

make sure you pva the area first matey,otherwise the bonding dry out too quick and fall off.i tend not to mix in other materials to make it set quicker,you may as well let it set properly and you cant go wrong.happy plastering

I do loads of bathrooms, I normally lash the bonding on in the morn and then skim later in the day I dont find a need to add cement.

yes this bloke is not clued in ....down the side of the toilet there aint enough room to get a butter knife down the side never mind a trowel..told him it might have been a better idea to put the bathroom suite in after skimming ... he just smiled and said never mind its done now ....... simpleton

Did you say "yep i can skim beside the toilet but i'm going to have to take the toilet out first and that will be another £60 to remove and then re-fit"

i asked him if he was gonna take toilet and sink out .... but he said took me ages to put em in no way am i moving them again ..... i did it once b4 and couldn,t get the toilet back in rite place ended up staying hours longer after actual job had finished trying to get toilet back in so not a fan of taking them out
