Hi all,

Bought a load of travertine to tile my bathroom Walls and floor.

I've taken all Of the old cheap ceramic tiles of the wall and underneath is the tile adhesive on plasterboard.

In some areas the plasterboard has come away exposing the brick.

If I was to just get a mate to skim the Walls to make them straight and smooth would it be ok for the tiler to tile the travertine straight onto, or would I need to ply the wall or something?
