Not a football loving bone in my body. I'd rather peel my eyes with a potato peeler. Just fitted a bunch of toilets and urinals in a pub refurb and now off to second fix a kitchen. "Show me the money"

Local merchants ? Sound like schoolboys to me. Get the pipes zipped on, get the slab down, let it dry and bamboo til your eyes fall out. Simples. Peter, you're one away from build hub's first warning

Dettol mound and mildew I use, but tbh prob just 50/50 water/bleach is the same thing at a fraction of the price. Spray on, leave for 5 mins, wipe and relax.

Très bien

Us men are tough guys.

Hi and welcome. Pretty much the old crowd here

Yup, very cheap. If these guys do even a half decent job, you've done well.

bacon rolls go down well.....just saying.......

Only thing that would stop me agreeing with Declan is that the repair may then be too proud in one place. I also don't like the risk of catching the scrim tape and lifting the fibres as if / when you do that your screwed.

Best way ( possibly the only way ) to stop that one will be to sand back through the plaster, around 2" each side, lay a paper ( non perforated ) tape in, such as the dry liners tape, bonding it on with neat pva and allow to fully cure. Prime the area first, generously, with 50/50 pva / water solution to remove the porosity and provide a stable surface When that's all fully cured, apply a 50/50 pva / water solution to the whole area, including the tape, and fill with the Toupret. Allow to dry and sand back. Not an enviable task but I'd be quite sure that would stop the crack. If it doesn't, please come back and delete this .

There no way you can most coat, fill, dry, sand and then completely finish painting in one day so the guy who said they'd be nowhere near finished is taking sense. And your all wrong This is the best filler in the universe. Bird is the word.

New plaster will suck 2 coats up for fun. There should really be at least an hour or two for the first 2 bases to have a chance of skinning over fully before attempting to coat with the third, but this process is quick tbh. Paintwork shouldn't even be considered until ALL the prep is done, eg filling / sanding / cleaning down. You'll never match the sprayed finish with a brush, and even a GOOD roller will struggle, so if these areas are prominent then they need doing FIRST. Prep, THEN paint.

Check it thoroughly for any holes in the roof / sides prior to any lining work. Super bright light ( at night ), inside the container, with a plus one outside looking for any failure points. Nothing worse than lining over a leak and then having to peel back the layers looking for it.

Let me think about it.

Full steam ahead !

Bingo

No photo here yet

But a problem identified sooner than later .

I'm sure they would be happier to do the job start to finish rather than tip toe around you . Good decision imo. Go with the Ebay stuff, I have and no regrets or issues.
