I have had the wall in the bathroom repainted which has shown up some

What is the best (Cheap) material to buy to fill i nthe
holes/sand/repaint?
I am thinking a step up from the Polyfilla tube stuff as it doesn;t go
rock sold - just turns into a hard gel liek substance- but maybe not
quite as hardcore as the full on tubs of Polyfilla branded cememt style
stuff!
Whats the best to go for either way?


Filler. Any filler will do. If your polyfilla is turning to gel then
somethings very wrong!


If it truly is concrete the problem you'll find is the texture of any
plaster type repair stuff won't be the same and will show through the
paint.


Yeah, getting the texture right is half of the art of filling. But
whatever it is, level still much beats indents.
