    Default tiling on plaster

    Hi All,

    I'm very new to this so probably a very silly question. I have stripped the tiles off my bathroom wall. The finishing plaster has come off too and whilst the undercoat is flat enough to tile on I was wondering whether I need to skim the wall with finishing plaster

    Thanks
    Rowan

    Hello Rowan and welcome..

    You cannot tile directly to any backing/base coats.. it will need to be either over skimmed or a one coat patching plaster can be used..

    What are you intending to stick on the walls now..?

    What? You cant tile directly onto a base coat.


    Rowan, Dave is spot on, you will need a finishing coat and then you are good to go
