What to use

[Wills]

Hi all
Just about to tile my bathroom shower area approx 4.5 sqm, had the walls plastered monday 5 days ago they've now dried. one wall is also 12mm ply on battons that i had previously coated with pva.
ive purchased 250 x 330 wall tiles from b and q along with a 10kg tube of bal white star tile adhesive What my question is will this adhesive suit my conditions and also should i wait the 4 weeks stated for new plaster also would i need to prepair the area with anything before hand.:hurray:

Hi & welcome to TF. I can see a number of problems you have. To late for me to go into detail so will either catch it in the morning or someone else may jump in to help. So far the problems you have are:
1) Plaster drying time & weight limits
2) 12mm ply wall
3) Coating with PVA
4) B&Q Tiles

hello wills i would advise you remove the ply sheet and replace with moisture resis plasterboard ,when you say plastered were they skimmed or bonded out as well?

Yep - as above, remove ply and resheet with moisture resistand plaster board, im guessing the wall has just been skimmed? When if fully dries, tank then retile with cement based adhesive, mapei p9 or equivelant, use a 3mm grout line with those tiles for best results then use grout sealer when complete... good luuck

Tip: plce a long (1.8) straight edge on that skimmed wall prior to start, get to know this wall, try to work out what its doing, its likely to be uneven and out of plumb, i think this wall could will be tricky and ive not even seen it!

The above should answer your question.

Thanks for all replies,
not quite the info i was hoping for its probably to late to remove and replace now, im gonna upload a pic ply is from ceiling to floor behind bath battens gripfilled to wall then screwed, ply gripfilled to battens then screwed, two coats of pva on ply was also advised ply is exterior not sure if that makes a difference i was advise by my local builders yard to yous this, ( no suprise there) the plasterboard is behind the taps in the pic were a door had been framed out plasterboarded then bonded and skimmed.
im dreading were this is going my gut was telling me to use miosture resistant pb when doing the prep work should of went with it but localy its not stocked, if i cant find a way to complete with tiles i may have to consider pvc paneling not my first choice
