Bathroom refit..... tiles on tiles on dot n dab...on tiles...honestly

[Gazebo]

Morning all

I will endeavour to post pics asap but I have just started bathroom number 2 in a detached property for a client and believe it or not some clown has dot n dabbed plasteboard over the original half tiled bathroom..


Then they have tiled with ceramics....


Possibly 15 years or so down the line the next person to facelift the bathroom has tiled onto the tiles.(unknowingly or not) creating 3 layers of tiles and 1 layer or plasterboard onto 2 brick cavity walls and 2 blockwork internal walls.


Gotta love it. taken me ages to get it back to brick and ready for new dot n dab.

:mad2:

I tend to overboard ceilings now, just too messy ripping the old one down and you have to think of your health. Just find the beams and mark with pencil.

Thanks for thinking of my health matey,, much appreciated.

Where feasible i do overboard but tbh when the old coving was removed it left bare plasterboard around the perimeter of the ceiling, as the artex was very thick.

as with tiling walls best way is to remove old crap and fix new.
