    Default Bare brick to render before tiling.

    I have just removed a cast iron bath and intend to replace it with a shower. Beneath the bath there is only bare bricks. Under the existing tiles is a sand/cement render. I wil remove the tiles above and re-tile. The area beneath I will have to render. How long before I can tile over? How do I reduce the time from rendering to when I can tile over ??

    You could use a fast setting cement with the sand, was going to suggest 9.5mm plasterboard attached to wall with PB adhesive but could be a bit thin at 3mm
