    Adhesive & Waterguard

    Solid ish. You need to make sure it is solid and all joints are picked up and there is no flex before putting down the membrane. Ceramic tiles and movement are not good

    Blown plaster

    You will need to remove all the old Adhesive and any loose plaster, 6" scraper would be best. Then smooth out the missing areas. It is much easier to tile on flat surfaces as you get a consistent bed depth

    Going to have problems with the drainage at some stage with the flexible pipe fitted as it is running down then up which will silt up. Very lazy plumbing.

    That has had a slim of plaster. Carry on taking the tiles off carefully, then get a scraper on to the old adhesive. When all smooth give it a prime with sbr or acrylic.

    Tanking/waterproofing

    Arden WPC is suitable for porcelain. The plaster skimmed walls may not be due to hanging weight of the tiles, adhesive and grout. 22kg m2 I believe for skimmed plaster.

    Polished off white tiles. Not happy with grout

    Very Labour intensive raking out the grout and very easy to damage an edge. I would go for the Fuga fresca first moon white if they make it.

    Price for entire bathroom. Is it a reasonable price?

    If you could buy experience it would be sold out everywhere. You will get quicker with time as you learn what needs to be perfect and what can be worked round. Dont skimp on prep work even if it seems like you are going backwards, it will save time later. Take time at the beginning of the job...

    Foam boad vs cement board

    Most installs I use plaster board and tank the wet areas. I find it's easier to dry line with the larger boards. As I do full installs floors are 25mm ply with detria. Or 18mm ply and 6mm Jacko board

    Friends bathroom refit timescales

    Each job has to be judged on time on an individual basis. Level of finish, type of tile, wall construction, first second or third floor stairs add time. Parking all these thing have to be taken in to consideration

    Quoting before seeing the state of the walls - how do I go about it?

    Are you removing the tiles? If you expect them to be removed then it's best to go and look when removed and then firm up your quote. If they are unhappy with a revised quote for extra prep work then walk away. I always put a paragraph in my quote detailing the cost of worst case. e.g. all out...

    Wall preparation advice

    Not unusual to see block work in that condition.knock the rest of the plaster and bonding coat off then dry line with plaster board dabs at 300 centres. Skrim and fill the joints. Nice flat level walls will gain the time spent prepping the walls back when tiling
