Damaged Drywall prior to tiling

[Aspesim]

Hi

I wonder if you can advise...

I have taken off all the old tiles in a cloakroom and removed as much of the old tile adhesive as possible. However during this process the top layer of paper on the plasterboard has also come away (showing the brown coating/paper) in quite a few area's.

What is the best way to proceed...
Can I just tile over the brown paper and any minor imperfections
Will the brown paper peel away with the moisture of the adhesive

any advice will be appreciated.

Regards
Simon

I try my best to replace plasterboard that has previously been tiled

how much of the backing paper showing through? if it's the odd imperfection then I wouldn't worry if it's large peices I would replace the PB

as above and i would prime the pb with an sbr and use a powdered adhesive

Thanks guys.
Due to other issues with the PB I added another Thread.
