Kitchen plaster…. Anyone who can help?

[Tr1p]

Evening,

I’ve recently started to take my kitchen apart in a newly purchased house because it was terrible.

The space isn’t big, roughly 2.6m long x 1.7 width.

The whole kitchen was tiled, of which someone had kindly tiled the top layer over the old layer making two sets of tiles.

The plaster isn’t great though, it is crumbling, cracked and blown (mainly around the over area). Looking at what people would be doing to repair or replace this?

Me and my partner would be tackling it ourselves, after research our options come back to plastering it all again, taking it back to bare brick and putting insulated plasterboard up or batoning it out and putting insulated plasterboard up.

Just to highlight we have never done any plastering of any sort.

What would you all suggest?

If you're re tiling I'd just overboard with tile boards like marmox, they act as insulation as well. Mechanically fixed they will be perfect.

We will be re tiling, we did want to paint but think to get the finish required would be a lot of work.

Might be a stupid question but if I was to Marmox boards over the top of the bad plaster, I would dot and dab this onto the wall and then mechanically screw it in.

Would this be sufficient to hold the weight of kitchen cabinets? I’m guessing they would be attached by going through the marmox, bad plaster and into the wall behind?

It’s all completely new to me.
