[QUOTE="donwheelay, post: 788031"] Hi All, First time poster in need of assistance. Its been a while since ive tiled anything, and today I have proudly finished tiling a bathroom in a project flat which I have purchased as a fixer upper. I had finished my days labouring and returned to look at my handiwork beer in hand and noticed one of the tiles had 'popped out'. I sought advice on some forums and to my horror realised I had forgotten to prime the wall. I tiled straight on to plaster (there had been old, and i mean OLD! tiles on the wall before hand which looked like they had been there forever.) using unibond anti mould bathroom adhesive. I have not yet grouted between the tiles. What are the possible consequences of me having not primed the wall? None of the other tiles seem loose in any way - alas quite the opposite, they seem really well set and like theyre not going anywhere. However i dont want anyone to be sat in the bath and have a tile fall on their head or at worst the whole wall of tiles come crashing down. I would be grateful for any advice or tips which anyone could provide me with. If it comes to it ill take them all down again - but obviously i also have no desire to repeat two days of tiling and if there is anything i can do to salvage what ive already done it would really set my mind at ease.
