tiling on plaster
Hi All, I'm very new to this so probably a very silly question. I have stripped the tiles off my bathroom wall. The finishing plaster has come off too and whilst the undercoat is flat enough to tile on I was wondering whether I need to skim the wall with finishing plaster Thanks Rowan- Rowan
