I’m after a bit of advice re wall prep in my bathroom. I’m tiling walls from floor to ceiling with 60x30cm porcelain. Once I’d removed the old tiles i had planned to dot n dab plasterboard then tile onto that, expecting the walls (plastered skimmed blockwork) to be in a bad way.
Since removing the tiles I’ve found one of the walls is a bit rough and down to the blocks in places, especially round the window but it’s only a small total area across the wall. The other wall doesn’t look too bad – some of the skim has come away and I’ve scrapped off the old adhesive and any loose stuff.
So here’s the thing; can I patch the rough wall (with something like tubbed plaster) then tile, and can I tile straight onto the other wall?
Thoughts appreciated, cheers
p.s. I’ve got P9 adhesive as I told the guys in the shop I’d intended to tile onto plasterboard.
