I get this on a regular basis, don't even bother arguing with them anymore, they just get told that there's going to be an extra charge for prep and that's that. It gets a bit tiresome hearing, "a decent tiler could get over that!" I can get over that, I just need to replace the walls first

A bit of pva and throw on some tiles.... Easy... Perfect prep there.

To be fair I knocked the plaster off here as the wall came out at the bottom.
He'd just plastered over the cement pads from the previous tiling!
Still it was only a £1million + apartment in London so what would you expect.
