Bathroom walls

[jstrats]

Hello people i have just been to look at a job and the walls are terrible, bumps everywhere, loose skim, skim missing, exposed brickwork in places, some of it rough render.

Tiles are 600x300 porcelain and weigh 19.5kg per m, i told client (decorator friend of mine) to get a plasterer in to sort out the walls for me.

My question is shall i get him to bond it and skim it or to dot and dab some kind of boarding?

Thanks, Jamie.

Ive just finnished a new build that has skimmed studded bathroom walls with 600x300 Porcilain over 20kg per m2 with 12mm notch trowl, it does have backer board in the shower.

Bit concerned about this now, have some more builds to tile soon, should I be recomending they not plaster and dry line the walls and use something else now?

You can try and reccomend on sites but sometimes it just falls deaf ears but give it your best shot.

I know exactly what you mean, Ive been tiling for this builder for a long time but they have only just gone away from ceramic on the walls.

Do you think a disclaimer is in order?

I take it we are on or over the limit for weight?
