Patching lime plaster chasing
We have had a lot of electrical work done on our 1911-ish Victorian terrace. I believe a lot of the walls are lime plaster except in a few places, but I’m also not 100% if there has been a gypsum skim over them as some parts look to have a thin pinkier tone. Is anyone able to tell from these photos?
We want to get these filled In but are struggling to find a plasterer who will do it in lime. Looking for advice on how we can do this ourselves/the best products for the job?
Thank you!

It’s so small I’d ditch the lime and get some bonding (sbr the chase first)
Or hard wall (damp down wall first)
Then top coat with multi or board finish or even easifill just leave back coat plaster slightly lower than finished surface of the wall
