[QUOTE="frogeye, post: 41576"] Seeing this from a novices point of view - when I tiled my bathroom 15 years ago ( now in bits and being done 'properly' - bloody grout lines!) I was unaware that you couldn't tile over paint - so I did. Looking at the wall now that I have removed the tiles I can see that for some reason I had decided to score the wall, but then I applied pva. The tiles on the painted area were an absolute nightmare to get off - the old adhesive had to be chiseled off. It would have been a B & Q waterproof type. My only suggestion is does it have anything to do with the type of paint used? The stuff I used was the dulux bathroom paint - resistant to mould etc. The tiles on walls in the wet areas fell off with a bit of help - pva and water ingress?, but the other parts that had been pva'd and were free of water, resisted all the gentle attempts and needed a chisel hammer drill. This resulted in tile and plaster skim leaving the wall. Before I removed the tiles there was no evidence that there was a major problem with tiles dropping off Sully [/QUOTE]
