    Default non-level wall

    Hi All

    I have a wall in my bathroom that i`m about to start tiling. Problem is that because the bathroom has been extended this wall on the left side is about 1cm in from the centre of the wall and then the same 1cm in to the right. The wall is 2m across.
    Any suggestions on whether to just build up with lots of adhesive to make up the difference at the sides when tiling or just plasterboard and get a flat surface to tile onto.
    Also if plasterboard is the way to go is standard gyproc plasterboard 12.5mm thick ok, then primed with Bal primer before tiling? The wall begins at the bath front edge corner so shouldnt have much contact with water.

    Thanks

    Best to tank plasterboard if it is round a bath/shower area.
