Tiling onto 'solid' lathe & plaster wall

[widler]

Sure i responded to this in another thread, must not of done it right, blinking iphones.
Same as everyone above, never seen a solid one.
For what it would cost, no more than a day with gear you may as well knock off and re board

Ok thanks all, time to bite the bullet then I guess. I did try and add a photo but it wouldnt let me?

The other wall of the shower is an external wall with the plaster applied to. Will this also need pulling down and boarding?

Old thread but forgot I posted here. I ended up taking it all down and fitting 20mm marmox.



Stud walls I levelled the studs and added for where fittings like shower frame went. Also filled it with rockwool. The brick walls were external and dot and dabbed with the marmox spankers.
