Wall prep?
Hi All
Hoping for anybodies experience input.
Been to look at a small bathroom and 3 walls are plasterboard/skim and the forth is brick/whatever they use?/skim.
The guy has taken off the tiles and where the adhesive was it has brought off the 1-2mm skim.There's more like blobs of skim missing as it appears the previous tiler justed dotted the centre of the old tile.
A new bath as been fitted and secured to 3 of the wall so cannot re-boarded.
The plasterboard is fine,no holes,very solid,so should i be fine to tile(300mm tiles) directly onto the surface after priming using a 10mm trowel and powdered adhesive or would i be wise to re-skim?
Cheers all
