Hello this is my first post.
I need to tile over a new bath which will also have a thermostatic bath mixer tap with shower screen.
The walls have existing tiles, but in removing them the old lath and plaster walls are being damaged and crumbling in places. I suspect that this was because the original tiles were put directly onto the old plaster without tiling.
The new tiled area will be exposed to water when using the thermostatic bath mixer.
Should I tile over existing tiles on the larger wall to avoid further damage to the lath and plaster?
Should I simply repair the walls then prime with an acrylic primer then tile?
I thought of marine ply or aquaboard on top of the old lath and plaster, but I don't want to bring the wall out too much as it will be noticeable at the edges.
What would you advise?
I am also thinking of tiling over a ply bath panel. How should I go about this?
Thanks in advance.
