Are you saying you are going to fill and then board over?

Yes. the deeper damaged parts.

Don’t bother. No need. The board and adhesive will cover

Should I PVA the old bonding first or use Bal APD?

Keraquick s1

not looking to knock back. Its too much work and the wall is where a window and toilet is.
Just want wall as flat as possible to put some type of backing board over.
Do you recommend multifinish over surface or another product?

No need to skim, if you are going to board over, use a SBR or tile primer, stick pro warm or what ever you want to use with a s1 tile adhesive, Wack a few screws in, then tile

Ok, this stuff is sounds like BAL APD which I have.

 

[acaciaguy]

Same stuff really

Yeah think I'll use Ball APD NEAT on the bonding. I'll be using mechanical fixings too, so should be ok.

Will do.

Just an update for anyone like myself with a similar situation who might read this thread.

I've been told by British Gypsum to use
Thistle Bonding 60 if you want to repair this kind of damage, before installing backing board.

60 being the time it takes to set I assume? Never used it.

I prefer to use dirty water or a handful of cement in the mix if I want to patch up quickly.
