d&d board onto old painted plaster - and then tile

[Guitardedleon]

in the bathroom I am doing its an ex council

the walls are bad ( pretty sure the council only employ monkeys )

house built in 50s
artex walls , then gone over countless times with fresh skim over the years.
this rules out hacking off for two reasons:

1. Artex
2. poured concrete wall

the only option is to d&d boards to the walls as is.
the walls are painted but i have gone berserk scoring them with an old chisel tonight
( looks like a maniac has been locked up inside )

in your opinion will this be sufficient to support:

d&d boards
tile addy
ceramic tiles ( full room height )

as the plasterer is due at 9am :yikes: and its only just occurred to me tonight about the paint
and i dont really fancy them falling off any time soon.

I thought of using some mechanical fixings to help support earlier
reassuring to hear it from a pro!

in your opinion d&d and screws too should be good enough then?
