Sorry if this has been done before. I’ve removed wall tiles which went half way up the wall, scrapped off the adhesive and this is what I’m left with. Any advice greatly appreciated, I’m hoping to have a good enough surface to paint, it’s only a utility room so good enough will do! Thanks, Jim.

Easi fill and sand then same again until it looks ok, or pay a plasterer

It’s a utility room no one will see, you don’t know the guys financial circumstances, if that’s what he wants to do it then so be it. Done it myself over the years when been skint.

You also don't know his financial circumstances just like you don't anyone's the point I was making if you want it doing do it right! If that means shutting the door on it and saving up for a few weeks so be it.
 
Thanks for the replies! My finances are fine!! I enjoy doing the work myself. The reason good enough will do is most of it will be covered by shelving/ units when it’s done.

Not sure if the pictures show it clearly but the plaster was keyed to help bond the adhesive I assume the easi fill will sort this out too?

Ok I’m sorry, I’ve done it wrong in the past then. From now on I will close the door and wait till I have the right amount of money before I do anything. Thanks for that

If it'll be hidden anyway and you like jobs, then you could give it a go yourself.

Only thing is, the tools will cost you much the same as a plasterer... about £150 ...

What you could get is the same stuff as dryliners use ... jointing compound. Plaster it on best you can and sand it back. Bada bing. Fair bit of mopping up after though cuz it dunt half make some dust.

Yeah get a load of easifill slapped on and a little electric sander on it. If you spend enough time on it and don't sand it before it's properly set then you could get it looking spot on tbf

Still though, my finances are good but I still tackle jobs that I should probably get someone in for as does most on here. I just hate the patter on here when someone comes on for a bit of advice and it’s the usual just pay a plasterer sh ite.

Tbf it's a small section that's barely going to be seen that a plasterers going to want £150+ for. If the guys in no rush and is half decent at DIY then some filler and sanding is hardly out of the equation. It's the electrical equivalent of changing a single plug to a double. I know next to nothing about electrics but even I can do that

Electrics and plastering is completely different and fine well you know it. You never had a go at repairing your car, joinery work, tiling (if you don’t already do it) painting or do you always call in the person trained in that profession?

Buts joint cement, which is air drying as opposed to setting. Is not premixed but powdered, you used to be able to get velvet from Lafarg, or joint cement from BG, its been rebranded as Quick Sand recently. Usefull stuff to make invisible repairs.
