What substrate is it mate?

 

[White Room]

Do you have any field tiles or is it a stand alone mosaic..

 

[shogun rua]

Its plasterboard Bri, its mosaic sheets whitebeam

 

[Ian]

Quickest and cheapest way would be to replace I'd say, only a couple of boards and some drywall adhesive. ( I'm assuming it's dot and dabbed plasterboard not a stud wall)

No its a stud wall, the only thing with replacing it is, ive tiled up to the
wall on both sides, then the sprung the mosiac wall on me lol

[shogun rua]

hi Kilty,

It dips in about 20mm in the middle probaby off in the top corners aswell.

[kilty55]

can you flush it off with something like bal quickset render?

 

[shogun rua]

ive never used it, is it any good?

 

[kilty55]

yes mate ive used it a few times....think it sets solid in 2 hours

has decent body to it,just check its ok for plasterboard but i have no doubt it will be

As above, if you cant replace the boards or get over it whilst tiling then I would use a rapid setting cement to sort it

 

[Alan.P]

As above skim it with a rapid set.

Not sure Doug, why mate?

 

[kilty55]

if the dip runs from floor to ceiling you could remove boards and adjust timber/cls im assuming this is what doug meant

i would overboard, it would give you a perfect flat finish for the mosaics. i don't understand why you can't
