Lime plaster woes

[Emotionalrollercoaster]

Sorry, me again! Thanks so much for all your wonderful advice so far.

I wasn't planning to take my kitchen tiles off but as I was removing old wallpaper it was apparent that the adhesive was completely gone and a few made a bid for freedom!

As is the way, I thought "I'll just take them off and retile - they're awful anyway.

The external wall under them is a mess! Patchwork of gypsum, lime and concrete. I've removed the lime to where it seems sound but there are some large areas where the plaster is blown.

I'm planning to have a new kitchen with some structural work including fully replastering with lime in about 3-5 years so this is mainly cosmetic.

What are my options?

If it is truely 3-5 years (and we know how that can change), then I'd just fill with eazi-fill and sand smooth.

That was what I was thinking too! It looks shocking but actually the vast majority of the lime render is pretty good and most of it is on an internal wall. The walls are an absolute patchwork of all kinds anyway so hoping some additional filler won't upset them too much!

I'll still using a breathable paint to try to reduce risk of damp, and hopefully the filling won't be too extensive.
