Wall Prep

[philrab66]

Hi all
Back for some more valuable advise. I have the unfortunate job of re-doing my bathroom been putting it off but time has come. I have stripped the wall and a large amount of the render has come off with the tiles. I would like to render and skim but not to sure of the procedure and mix. What sand to use etc... do I pva first or just wet the wall. I have tried a little bit of rendering in the past but I got more on the floor than the wall.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Phil.

Why put yourself through rendering your walls when there is dry lining....

Dry lining for me flat level and able to tile in quick time

If it was the whole wall then yes dry lined but it is only a few large areas at the bottom of the wall. Also I am not tiling complete wall just a few above the bath and shower area.

if it's the inside of an outside wall then plastering sand & cement onto the brick. If there's another room on other side then probably Hardwall then Multifinish plaster.
