Hi Everyone,
am about to tile bathroom and two of the walls were painted and papered. Have removed all paper and what paint that will come off (using scraper and wire wool).
Read some posts on here that said scoring would provide enough of a key for adhesive and others who said you need to remove all paint. However, most of the paint is welded on. I opted for knocking a groove about 2mm deep into the plaster with a bolster in a criss-cross pattern. Grooves between 10-25mm wide and about 90mm apart. The tiles are 450mm x 250mm. Do you reckon this will do the job?
cheers
