    Default replacing a tile.. wall is back to breeze block ?

    Hi All,

    Some advise please.... I had to remove a tile that got chipped whilst tiling my shower.... problem is I got the tile off with some effort but virtually all the ptaster came off with it exposing the breeze block.

    can I replace the tile straight onto the breeze block, I am using weber.set plus I also have weber set rapid..

    can I fill the hole with this 'like a filler' let it dry then tile onto that surface ?

    please dont mock me if I am being stupid !

    Use an acrylic primer on the plaster and build the adhesive up and let it set, then fix the tile with a fresh mix..

    that must be some adhesive to pull the render off or was it dry lined? if so you can dot and dab a new piece of plasterboard over the hole and tile it a few hours later

    thanks all........ Mike I was really surprised.... it took some amount of leverage under the tile to get it off and when it came off it was in one piece with virtually all the render 12+ mm's attached to it.....
