Not much more to say really! It will only be for the reveals / returns of a window. The sides (reveals?) are back to brick, and the sill is mortar.

I can plaster okay, but there's absolutely no spare depth to play with.

Thanks!

The correct one for the tiles.

I'd be tempted on both projects to wet the area with WATER, just WATER NO PVA to stop the brick, render, blocks pulling the adhesive to quickly and cracking it.

I dont think its a stupid question but does show a lack of understanding of how paint works and reasons for certain applications, now dont jump down my throat Jaegar i'm not being funny its just a classic case in point of a well educated professionally trained painter against a general tradesman.

Why not bond Plasterboard onto the sills and then tile?
