Repairing walls

[rj1884]

Hello. I've just started a bathroom and removed the existing tiles from the walls around the shower area. The tiles fell off as you can probably tell. I also had to remove the existing skirting board which revealed the brick work/rendering to the external wall.
the area around the shower is plaster most of which stayed on the wall due to the tiles falling off.
a bit of advise please.
In relation to the small area of plaster above the taps (picture below) what's the best way to level it out with the rest of the plaster which is still solid. (I'm not a plasterer by any means).
Also in relation to where the skirting was, the damaged area goes back around 10-15 mm at its worst depth. What's the best thing to use to fill to bring it out to the level of the existing render. Booths areas will be tiled.

I hope that all makes sense. Thanks in advance

What size tiles are you fixing....

Sand and cement on top of a coat of SBR bonding agent , if you go to a tile shop they should be able to sell you a pre-baged render fit for this purpose, and seeing it's only a small area one bag should do the job easy my friend.........

They're going to be 200x250x8mm, ceramic.

Bal do a fast setting render and it's quite good stuff, used a few times.

Cheers Whitebeam. Would that be just for the external wall where the skirting was or can it be used for the gap in the plaster.

As DPF, use some sbr to prime the surounding area and apply, I would knock some of the old plaster round where the taps are back to the brickwork, again prime with sbr and apply the render.

It looks like the tiles were put straight on to paint thats why they just fell off. Make sure you sand down all of the paint then prime using sbr.

Cheers Whitebeam. Do I need to dilute the sbr or just put it straight on. Is ardex p51 the same.
Sml, I'm going to sand the paint right back.

Not sure about the P51 never used it, thin the sbr to 3-1 and soak on and leave to dry....
