- Using bonding coat on walls before skimming. We are now ready to level the walls using bonding coat. We are using bonding coat rather than an expensive aquaboard or plasterboard. It is essential to get this as level as possible, especially if you will be tiling the walls.

Good to see the Radox on standby for all those aching parts after plastering!
Thanks for that. Very helpful.👍
I think this is the best video on CZcams . Loved the realness 👍
top work looking forward to see the next video wtches plastering the ceiling.
Afternoon, I dont normally add comments but your video was really informative and easy to understand. Thanks allot, take care.
Thank you for taking the time to comment and I'm glad this video has been of help to you.
You could have attached some expanding metal over the wood and then just plastered over it.
Are 15mm pipes to much to plaster over if there just against red brick? Would it just crack the plaster further down the line
I thought you need hardwall on to brick not a bonding ?
What’s the name of the soundtrack playing over your plastering, I love it, your bonding is good too,, keep up the good work.
Thanks for the nice comment. Links to the music are in the description of the video. All the tracks I use are from epidemic sounds
💯👍👍
I’m wanting to do my bathroom these videos are helping massively!! I’ve got a smaller bathroom than this and after taking the tiles off I’ve found they used ply on the brick
If I strip it all back to the brick is it a case of pva, then bonding then tiles can go straight on?
Extractor fan is fitted and the windows always open
Hi, I'm glad these videos have been helpful. I'm no expert but people's comments on here suggest not tiling onto bonding coat, so PVA then bonding then skim coat. You can skim it the same day as bonding just wait for the bonding coat to harden. If you wait a day or 2 after bonding then you will need to PVA bonding coat before skimming. Good luck 👍
Thinking of redoing my bathroom. Do you bond over brick/sand cement after removing tiles (currently sitting on top of render)? Am assuming no plasterboard?
I would bond over the bricks before redoing tiles or, if you have the money, use moisture resistant (aqua board) plaster board on the walls
I wouldnt use bonding in areas exposed to moisture use thistle hardwall
Too late now. Fingers crossed it's ok. I will be putting in an extractor so hopefully will reduce any moisture in the room.
Many years ago a damp specialist told me that during his training that bonding works like a sponge. To cure a serious damp problem on a old house I removed the skirt board and replaced the bonding material with cement mix mortar fantastic damp cure.
How long should you leave the PVA on before plastering? Fully dry or is there an optimum time i.e. tacky. First timer
Leave it just till it's tacky. I usually pva then go and mix a batch of plaster. By the time you've mixed it the pva should be tacky. About 10-15 mins usually. Good luck 👍
Where is the masking tape and cover for the bath ? First thing I learned was to protect items being plastered upto.
It's a cast iron bath and needs to be sanded down and re-enameled. so that wasn't much need for me to protect it
Can anyone tell me if they've put bonding plaster on a ceiling thin say 5 to 7mm thick and it's been ok.
Why would you want to put bonding plaster on the ceiling?
Can bonding cost be used as finish coat?
No it can't.
Where the "barrel angle" is what is it that you used to make the corner?
I just used the trowel. For the ceiling I used the smaller edge while keeping the long edge close to the wall. And then when I did the wall you really can only used just the corner of the trowel and take a bit of time and care. As long as you don't have bumps in it don't worry as the skim coat will fill any small imperfections. If its too awkward you could just run you're finger along the corner smoothing it and then get the shatper edge when you skim it. Hope that helps you
@@LCWDIY it does thank you. What was the corner actually made of it doesn't look like plasterboard
@@pauldolton9118 Do you mean the roll between the plasterboard? That was just the old ceiling paper that was too difficult to take off, plaster will stick to it as long as you apply pva on it too.
If you did not want to plaster the ceiling, could you just have used white filler for the plasterboard joints?
No, it will probably crack at the joints.
@@LCWDIY Do you mean the joints ceiling and brick walls or the joints between the plaster board panels?
Both probably
Why didn't you don't dab the window wall with MR plasterboard instead of bond coat?
The bath was already touching bare brick work. If I dot and dab MR plasterboard it would of been too thick and covered too much of the bath and probably be touching the bath taps.
Feather-edge or Darby!
That's it! Thank you very much, I had an absolute brain meltdown. 👍
When you put bonding coat on and you let it dry.....can you put another coat on it.... thanks
If the bonding coat has dried completely then just put some more pva on it and then your next coat. If the first coat has only been on for 1 day then you can just put your next coat on without the need to pva.
@@LCWDIY thank you very much.....this helps alot.....🙏👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@LCWDIY I think I need a professional.....it looks horrible and uneven...😢😞😱
It can take a bit of practice but once you get the hang of it it'll be worth it. It can be frustrating at times if you don't get it flat before it goes too hard. I've had to hack off a load of plaster before now and start again. Keep at it.
In the middle of doing my bathroom. Having pulled off 2 layers of tiles, the wall needs plastering. The entire bathroom will be tiled, but which plaster do I use? Bonding or hardwall? And can you tile directly on to these plasters?
Some people have mentioned using hardwall for a bathroom. You can't tile on to bonding or hardball as far as I am aware. I am not a plasterer so can't really give you a definitive answer. But pva, bond then skim will work.
I am using hardwall to level the walls up with,if you are haveing a shower over the bath like me,once ghe haedwall is set, I have bought some elements board it is totaly waterproof this will go onto the hardwall, this is what is used in bathrooms if you dont want any future water damage, and seal aroung the bath with no more leaks it gives you a second barrier,,check out Abacus products !!!
I'm in the middle of doing my bathroom mostly by myself. After getting stuck on the wall for ages, I was stuck between bonding or putting element/tile backerboad into the walls. Know I have decided on hardball then element board. The process is more pricey but cost effective in the long run. Loving your work btw.
If you have the extra money then yes elements board is the way to go. It will future proof your bathroom and you shouldn't get any damp problems using that. I'm glad you are enjoying my channel and good luck with your DIY. 👍
Sand and cement always in a bathroom or you could use moisture board a bathroom walls should be as damp roof as you can get but bonding or hard wall never in my honest opinion👍
Dont use bonding in a bathroom
My thoughts as well I've been told since I started plastering 28 years ago NOT to use it because of damp issues better to float with sand and cement or maybe scratches coated with waterproofer and dry lined with moustire board either of them better than bonding but each to their own👍
You don’t put bonding on window walls
What would you use then? And why is a window wall any different?
Or did you mean I haven't put the bonding on the whole wall?
As long as the wall isn't damp it doesn't matter.
That will needs to breathe. Otherwise you are trapping moisture in the walls and that will ruin the mortar between bricks. Then you check the wall in 5-10 years you'll see irreversible damage. This only applies to old buildings without cavity wall
So as I have cavity walls then that's ok then?
or pay overpriced brands like abacus £5000 just to line the walls with their overpriced waterproof sheeting lol, cough cough
Exactly! How long have we had plastered walls in bathrooms. Done correctly it will last for years.
completely the wrong product really painful to watch this
