    Default Tile removal

    Just a quick one. If you remove tiles from a splashback and the wall behind is no good would you just need to plaster where the tiles were or the whole wall to make it even?

    The ready mix plaster skim? So that would just be needed for the patch where the tiles were?

    Just fill the holes with a rapid set adhesive, do it as you are tiling. Don't bother with skim if you are covering the same area that you have removed the old tiles from
