The old tiles came away with barely a touch from a crowbar, bringing with it most of the render. As I understand, I shouldn't fill this with bonding plaster as it tends to fail in humid bathroom environments, right? And I should be using a sand cement render with some waterproof SBR stuff added into the mix, right?
Next question, is premixed bagged render a waste of money? I don't really need enough render to warrant the hiring of a mixer (I've got a paddle mixer anyway)
And finally, I've only done cement render once before. I just need to plumb it, feather edge it, then float/polish it, right? One wall is getting tanked then tiled, the other wall will be skimmed and partially tiled.
Bathroom rendering, talk to me.
