[Spare Tool]

Family friends asked me to replace a tile the plumber took off to replace a shower valve, whilst doing the work he managed to butcher and take out most of the wall that was holding the previous tile on. .any suggestions to fill the hole so I've actually got something to stick the repacement tile onto?

Has it been leaking into the substrate....

Hard to tell as there was no substrate left..but from what I could see no it didn't appear to have been

Wondered why the valve was changed other than leaking....

They said it kept going scalding hot without touching the regulator...they live in Tenerife for 6 months of the year so probably got full of crap and seized up..

might be a job for some expanding foam

So would you maybe stick some moisture board round the valve on with the foam then the tile with cement ady or just foam the tile on?

Plasterboard adhesive after removing everything thats loose and priming. Then stick plasterboard to it to pack it out to where you need to tile. Then tank. Then tile.

Hope you used fischer bolts too Ray!
