When removing tiles around a shower area, some of the outer paper layer came off the plasterboard where water had seeped in over the years (see picture). Now I'm looking at my options to prepare the wall for tiles and want to know what would be recommended while keeping costs down?

I know this has been asked lots before but I cannot find (after reading the White Book and 'Site Book Tiling) where the information regarding loadings for plasterboard are listed. I found plenty for Glasroc H.

Hi all,
Really need some advice on how to tile my bathroom walls. Currently the walls have small 2-3mm thick ceramic tiles that are stuck on very firmly. I've been advised by the tiller that he can tile directly on top of the tiles. Just wondering what the best options are. I've been...
Got a small walk in shower to rip out and re tile and was curious to know if there would be advantages to using a cement hardie type board instead of moisture resistant plaster board? I'm assuming both would require tanking, weight/type of tiles to be used currently unknown.

Been thinking of getting some of these adjustable props but they only do minimum height of 1.15m which is too big for most domestic windows. Anyone know if they can be cut down at the bottom?
Can 600x300 tiles be fixed straight onto bare unskimmed plaster board? Would it need priming first? Not sure whether the tiles are ceramic or stone yet. Any advice welcome. Cheers

Should plaster board be primed before tiling? And if so with what primer? I understand plaster needs priming but the chap I work with says you don't need to with plaster board!!
