[QUOTE="rutlandsi, post: 862150, member: 48080"] Hi, I'm renovating a house and have recently focused on the bathroom. (Photos attached/below). I've moved the stud wall so the basin isn't right in front of the door, stripped the old tiles which were only 3-4 rows up from the bath and scrapped off all the horrible green paint (which was also on the ceiling!!) back to the skim plaster. My aim is to fully tile the back wall and in the corner above the bath (where the shower will be) Then either half tile or fully skim and paint the other 2 walls. I've read 101 forum posts here and elsewhere and generally: - Some say just strip all the plaster off and use wedi, aqua board etc or just MR Plasterboard and tank it - Some say render the areas which have come off, prime it, tank the shower end and tile - Some say aqua still needs tanking and isn't necessary for domestic or above the bath? I think it comes down to how sound the old plaster it, it doesn't sound hollow and most of it stayed on the wall when crowbarring off the old tiles! So I guess as long as the tiles are under 20kg/sqm in weight, leaving the old plaster up is viable, what do you think? Appreciate any advice.
