Hi
I was after some advice. I'm planning to tile my bathroom. This will be the 4th time I've tiled a room but I've always tiled on walls that have been skimmed with multifinish.
The walls are in a bit of a state but largely plastered and finished, some are 1980's cement block and others with the original blocks used in 1910. One wall is brick.
The plasterer said he can either make good and finish with a bonding coat or hack off existing bond and give a couple of coats of multi finish if we were thinking of having some wall exposed. We've decided to tile to the ceiling.
I hoped someone might suggest wheter it is a good idea to tile on a bonding coat or should I go for the multi finish. Difference is £190 versus £320 but I don't mind if it is needed. Also should I use and additive to the adhesive (not decided what to use but usually use pre-mixed Bal Blue Star) as the bonding is more porus. I'd coat the wall with Bal Bond SBR Primer first
The tiles are 25/40 ceramic
Thanks for your comments.
