Tiling On New Plastered Walls

[AD Ceramics]

The wall has a bow inward in the middle lower part, prob falls in about 1" for a third of the bath length and around the same up the wall, areas of the wall look like they have polyfilla (THIN COATS) on which has blown in areas to, plus what looks like a poor job with multiskim in places, so my intentions is to knock this stuff off which is loose, level off with featheredge using browning then skim, to give a good flat surface to come off, original bath, sink etc are staying put.

Tiles are ceramic, size approx. 200x250, only 6mm thick



would we using a 3/1 mix @impish ???



I know when its dry, just wondered if there was a general rule before tiling on it.

cheers

So not to skim, what would you use to bring the wall flat that doesn't mean taking it down as the bath isn't coming out, the wall is to poor to come straight off with tiles.

I'm a little confused. Is this a new bathroom install? Or existing bath?

I'd take it back to block work personally and reboard.

Exiting bath etc

Be quicker to take the bath out, take it back to block and board.

If it's existing how comes it dips in an inch?

The bath has tongue and grove panelsall around, thats all staying put, i think the wall has always been like that, it may have had paper on it nd they just lived with it, the lady lives on her own with her elderly mother so may they had a go at trying flatten it a bit with some gear from the local diy.
So would you use sand, cement render?
Browing and skim?
Or something else, taking it back to bricks not an option on this one.

D, knock it off, u can't straighten with browning/bonding over the old plaster(im guessing sand/lime motar, knock it off and board, leave the bath in, knock it off and board, it will be about half hour longer of a job 😉
