Damaged and plasterboard with some movement. Can it be tiled?

[nalavarado]

Help please from any tilers.
The plumbers made a mistake and had to rerun pipes after plastering. They’ve now patched the walls up of the shower room like this. Some of the pieces have movement on the wall. The filer is due tomorrow to tile the shower room with 60cm x 60cm porecelain tiles. The holes apparently are being made good in the morning but this will be with just unskimmed plasterboard.

Are there any further problems this can create in terms of the condition of the wall that is being tiled.

Can the cracks be directly tiled over or do they need to be filled?

Thanks in advance.

Morning. I personally wouldn’t be going anywhere near those walls with 60 x 60 porcelain tiles. A disaster waiting to happen.
The integrity and stability is one point and skimmed boards ( weight limits ) is another.
The plumbers have totally knackered them walls.

Need new boards with no skim and maybe even cement tile backer boards?

Some plumbers know how to tile well but some have no sympathy for other trades let alone don't tile.

Plasterers still skim bathrooms when its being tiled too.

At least you found out now and not after it has been tiled and something goes wrong, and it would. So please don't bodge it and wing it.

What thickness are the 600mm x 600mm porcelain tiles?
