Hi, in our guest bathroom (new solid construction) the connections for the bidet were set incorrectly (too far apart, for a different model) and have now been "corrected" for the Villeroy & Boch Subway 2.0 Compact. The situation left by the HSK guy is as shown in the picture; he knocked off a lot, leaving little sand-lime brick and a lot of foam. The tiler said he often encounters this kind of situation in old building renovations, applies a good amount of tile adhesive, lets it set, and can then tile on it. We find this questionable if a bidet with its bolts is barely fixed in the sand-lime brick and the tile that the bidet hangs on is glued to a substrate of 4cm tile adhesive and 10cm construction foam. I would like to reduce the construction foam to create a load-bearing substrate for tiling and let the wall "regrow". Spontaneously and without much knowledge of masonry and concrete, I am thinking of "small reinforcing irons," like bolts or threaded rods into the existing sand-lime brick at the top and sides, possibly some kind of formwork (or cutting the existing foam as formwork or foaming some additional "formwork") and then concreting. Is this sensible/feasible? If yes, what kind of concrete/mortar can I use for this, or are there better ways to create a wall again that is not elastic? From what thickness would, for example, a small Wedi board be stable enough?
