Hi, okay, so in order to keep costs down I agreed to prep the walls of my bathroom prior to a proffessional coming in to tile them. However when I was taking off the original tiles it's removed patches of the skim coat underneath. (This has mainly happened on the brick walls, the plasterboard ones seem fine.) Now I'm not sure what to do in order to get the walls ready to tile onto? I've heard varying advice about using PVA or primer or tanking walls of the bath/shower, but I'd really appreciate some step-by-step instructions as to what to do.
Should I remove all of the skim coat and try to re-skim it? Or can I just patch the areas that have come off? Once the skim coat is sorted out do I now need to prime the walls?
I'm so confused, any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!
