    Default Tiling to uneven surface.

    Hi everybody.
    Am about to fit a new bathroom.
    When I get round to tiling, how even do the walls have to be to get a decet finish. If it is not very even can I just put a thicker layer of adhesive or will I need to do some more preperation.
    Thanks

    the better the walls the better the finish, also the quicker the job as there is less messing about having to build out sections.
    if the walls are very uneven i always suggest that either you replace the plasterboard by removing existing or overboard.
    hope this helps but would be able to give a more detailed explanation if you could post some pictures of walls.
