Hello. Just Here To Pick Your Brains.

I need some advice guys & girls, I hope I am in the right place. I am fitting tile backer boards to a shower area walls, the walls are block and plastered over render. The wall is 25mm out of square for shower tray, so I want to square the wall up before tiling. Any ideas ?

Always nice to take it back to brick in a bathroom. Every mil counts and you can level the wall

Take to brick and pay a plasterer

25mm is a lot to bring right, got no chance with skim, either build a frame or full rip out me

I was thinking of taking it back to the cement, scoring it and rendering it out square. Then backer boards for tiling.

And thanks for everyone getting back to me by the way

If the cement is sound and flat then I suppose you could. In old bathrooms sometimes the cement is absolutely nails!

you could always pull it out with bonding which is super easy to use

Cheers Jess, now that sounds like a good plan. Bonding it is . Thank you.
