    Default Shower wall render

    Hi All.

    I have just finished ripping the old tiles off the shower wall. Underneath it is rendered brickwork. I need to tidy up some of this render to get it up to scratch for new waterproofing. Can anyone give me the cement/ sand ratio that I will need to make a patching mix?
    Alternatively is there any way i can patch the wall with gyprock basecoat??
    Thanks Stu

    hello,

    3 white sand, 1 cement and a little bondcrete in gauge water

    this is suitable if require 5-10mm build

    if thinner go for the bag mix from bunnies, around $16, add a little boncrete

    give it a sponge over as setting, let dry for around a week if thick

    thankyou

    myla
