The walls in this bathroom are plaster and are painted with latex paint.
Replaster bathroom wall.
Walls which are intact but have a poor surface because of previous patching could be another candidate.
3 walls are your standard house brick and the 4th is an internal wall made of black 35mm thick air brick nasty stuff but not an option to remove.
The high humidity and wet conditions in a bathroom make its walls a prime breeding ground for mildew.
At the top of your stroke slide the trowel over 2 3 inches 5 8cm then reverse the motion and bring it down again.
If you have hacked the plaster off half a wall it will probably be better to replaster the whole of it rather than simply making good the damaged area.
Where the shower curtain rod is in contact with the wall the plaster has begun to break away most likely due to continued exposure to moisture.
Large scale diy jobs present the same problem.
Crouch down and push the plaster up the wall in a gentle arc standing as you go to reach the higher parts.
We are in the process of doing our bathroom because for the old plasters condition we have removed back to brick.
