    Default Tiling on a mixture of different wall types?

    Following on from my last post....I have a shower enclosure that has two brick walls with render then plaster. The third wall is aquapanel. What is my best option for tiling this enclosure? I fitted the aquapanel wall (studwall with tanking). The other two walls are what was the corner of the bedroom and now the corner of the en-suite. These walls have emulsion paint on the plaster.

    1. What's the correct prepartion for the painted plastered walls?
    2. What's the right adhesive (wont be huge tiles)

    If required I can tear the plaster-off and aquapanel the whole lot but I would rather not do this.

    i would first sand the paint off the wall prime the walls with a suitable primer then id use single part flexiable adhesive depending on the size of your tiles
