How should I plaster over painted pebbledash?

We have a utility room in our house which was created from an extension onto the side of the house. The previous owners on one side have painted the pebbledash white.

I know wish to plaster over it. What kind of plaster/finish should I use to plaster over it?

Do I need like a base plaster(primer) and then plaster over that? Or will a single plaster do it(is it multi-finish?)

    A coat of bonding then multifinish should do the job

    Paint isn't something that provides a good key. I'd be tempted to baton it and screw the boards to those.

    Might as well go for solid wall insulation whilst you're at it :)

    Well there was me thinking it would be a nice, find some plaster - stick it on job!

    The thing is, they are only small portions of the wall that need doing.

    30cm x 220cm (2 sections)

    Can anyone suggest a quick fix method maybe?

    Flatten with thistle hardwall, then set with multfinish.


    Don't use bonding as previously suggested in this thread, as its designed for areas with low suction. Hardwall , is designed for application onto masonary work.
  • I'd batten it and put plasterboard on. Then plaster on top of that. , provided its not hollow anywhere.

    The pebbledash has been painted, with god knows what, if you want something that will stay stuck to the wall use bonding ;)
