I have been recommended to use Mapei Keraflex adhesive on the scenario below by grumpygrouter (cheers :thumbsup:), have you got any more ideas?

"Just want to know what kind of prep I will need to do before work starts on the bathroom. The room is pretty much 2m x 2m and we're gonna use Palma ceramic wall tiles (31 x 45cm) from Wickes.

The bathroom has a mixture of marine ply walls and plasterboard. The plasterboard has some damage where we took off the old tiles and some of the paper has come off exposing little of the gypsum. The ply is around the shower/bath area; obviously I will remove any remaining adhesive from the walls.

I was going to prime the walls with something like Mapei Tile Adhesive Primer that I've seen in Screwfix and use some sort of waterproof rapidset flexible adhesive out of the tub like Bal's White or Blue star adhesives"

What do you think and do you have any alternatives? Cheers
