Appreciate some advise .

Been stripping of the walls in my bathroom , top half has been emulsioned which i'm in the process of sanding, being a bit tricky as they plastered where two sheets meet and left the rest bare so having to go slow , bottom half has been tiled straight onto plasterboard and as you can see i'm pulling of the paper taking the tiles of just wondered if i should carry on sanding top part and patch up lower bits or get the lot skimmed ?
Cheers Dave

Dave, if it's a full re-tile, I'd just rip out the existing plasterboards and replasterboard prior to tiling, it'll be a lot less hassle believe me. Also, contradictory to popular myth, tiles actually adhere with less problems to plasterboard than skimmed plasterboards. Good luck.

I agree, you will save yourself a lot of time, effort and grief by ripping out old plasterboard and replace with new.

Thanks for your help , one problem is the internal walls are Paramout Board walls the type with two sheets of plasterboard sandwiched with honeycomb cardboard , these flats were built about 30yrs ago so i was hoping for a less drastic solution i do appreciate that a rip out is the best but do you guys have an alternative ? It is a full re-tile with Tilemaster Tanking round the bath/shower , tiles are 25cm x 40cm , 7mm thick ceramic , going to use Tilemaster Standard Set Extrabond and Tilemaster 3000 Grout .

my house has the same wall construction i over boarded with Wedi boards on my wet room fixed with flexible tile adhesive and screwed using spit driva plasterboard plugs and Wedi washers. it worked for me.

 

[frigiliana]

Cheers deanotile , if i decide to go down that route what thickness Wedi board did you use ?

 

[The D]

i used 10mm but you could do it with 6mm no problem. i did not dab them on i used a 8mm notched trowel

 

[frigiliana]

Briliiant cheers just a quick question what do you do with the added thickness when you come up to the architrave round the door i'm thinking with the Wedi at 6mm plus tiles 7mm and bed 3mm there won't be anything left, is it a case of getting thicker architrave ?

i didn't have that problem in my room but have come across it before and i just plant 2x1 ether side

Rip out the lot to the bone and re-board. It's enjoyable as well

LOL is that what you would do ??????

 

[Anto Holland]

That is what nearly everyone does mate. You are wasting your time and putting in pointless effort. Dryline it. Why is that LOL? It takes nothing to do and makes your walls totally flat and ready to tile. Just advice

Do you realise it would effect the room on the other side of the wall....

 

[Anto Holland]

If it's stud then take the time to sort that out as well then. Do what you gotta do pal. To the bone I meant rid of old plasterboard and re-install new. By the looks of his pictures that's his only option anyway.

ok sorry im new to this game.

This is not a standard stud wall with plasterboard each side. It is a honeycomb sandwhich so would involve the whole dividing wall being taken out.
