Could someone help me with this?
I need to re-tile our bathroom which entirely covered floor to ceiling with 6" ceramic tiles.
There a two external walls covered in some sort of browning and the other walls are ordinary plaster board.
The browning is detached from the wall where the existing shower/bath is over a large area (sounds hollow when tapped) and only the tiles are holding it up at the moment, other areas which are not subjected to water ingress from the shower are sound.
My question(1) is given that this is a bathroom which is subject to condensation, should I should I remove ALL the browning, not just he damaged area and replace it with a cement mix plaster.
My other question(2) is should I remove all the plaster board also and replace it with cement board.
To save time time and effort I am tempted to just tackle the damaged area and just tile over the existing tiles where it appears sound.
I don't wish to do anything that is totally unnecessary, but I don't want do something I would regret later.
