    Tiling on lath and plaster walls

    You'll get 32kg per metre on plasterboard which will be ok for 600x300 which could be 23/25kg. + adhesive and grout. DON'T get them skimmed! Moisture resistant plasterboard would be ok, but cement boards or waterproof Wedi would be better but more expensive. Good luck.
