Hi guys,

New to the forum and the tiling world. Am currently ripping my bathroom to bits for a bit of a tarting up. I have the tiles off most of the wall now but with the tiles all of the rendering has come off. I am now back to breeze block, this breeze block is black and is on the supporting walls of my 1950's ex-council house. I would prefer not to get a plasterer in as I am trying to get this done within the next week and plaster boarding the wall would reduce the size of an already small room.

My question is whether or not I am able to tile straight onto the breeze block? If so what would I use to adhere the tiles to the breeze block and do I need to prime the breeze block with anything before hand, eg. pva type product.

I also have an alcove that has a shower installed into, this will be tiled on 3 sides. Will I need to do anything special with this area also.

Sorry for all the questions, doing this for the first time and don't want to get it wrong and pay the price later.

Cheers in advance,

Damian.
